Tubby: When Custom Cases Meet Frosty Cold Beer 129
trs9000 writes "Going a step further than your average case mod, Tubby includes not only a nice wooden casing, but also a built-in refrigerator! You dont have to get up for a refill! Tubby's homepage has specs and pics of the process. Images are also here and here."

Of course if you have an ovan, you'll also need the kitchen sink. [worldofwibble.com]

yeah, but the EZ bake bulb's filament burns at something like 5000-6000 Kelvins to put out enough infrared to do its cooking. The pentiums, by comparison, will run around 325-340 K, and the wavelengths emitted will be far too long to be useful for cooking. By Wien's Law, the peak wavelength would be around 8.5 micrometers whereas with tungsten filament bulb. With the nature of the falloff toward the blue side of the peak radiation in the Stefan-Boltzman distribution at a given temperature, almost all of the energy would be wasted at wavelengths too long to really heat most substances. You would need good thermal contact to do it at those temperatures.
