Nvidia Shows Off Gaming PC That's a Keg of Beer

It's a keg from the Sierra Nevada Brewing company!

The Consumer Electronics Show that's going on right now is all about the latest gadgets plus new ones that will be hitting stores later this year. Along with all that are a good number of social parties that blend business with pleasure. Nvidia, however, has finally found a way to bring both together in a very cool case mod.

It's called the "kegputer" and it combines a beer keg with a full functioning gaming PC. It's something that Nvidia was showing off to early show-goers and we got an early eyes-on at a pre-show event.

Check out the early pictures that we snapped from Nvidia:

Want to know what's inside? Besides BEER, it's made from an Intel Core i7-2600

Asus Sandy Bridge motherboard, Corsair SSD, 12GB of RAM, and two GeForce GTX 580 in SLI. Oh, and there's room to hold 40 servings of beer.

There's a vapor chamber cooling system… but that's for the brew! Stay tuned as we'll be checking it out when the tap is running.

Now only if Nvidia can come up with a Crapper/Pisser Chair. We could game 24/7 without getting up!! Awesome, no one would ever miss a minute of hardcore PC Gaming action!! No more "hey team, wait, I need to go pee". No more "Ddue, I have to do a number #2. Find someone else to Scrim with you for the next 15mins". No more, "Oh FTW, $#@#$@$ Rochelle is AFK!! Lets vote kick this dooche!". No more, "Awesome, free frag kill"....etc.

Every time I look at it I hear angels singing Beethoven's immortal "Ode to Joy". It is so beautiful.

ArticleOh, and there's room to hold 40 servings of beer.

What's that like 5760 ounces? Does it provide cooling for the beer (which could in turn cool the cpu and GPU's? I'd hate to think this thing was serving up warm beer.

A whole new concept in cooling computer components. What's next? A LN2 ice-cream freezer for non-beer drinkers?

I detect a small design flaw - it sounds like a single PC. Instead, it should be 4 PCs networked to make the ultimate college LAN party accessory. As for spaghetti, merely add a serving tray around the top and voila... or chips and dip... or, as we do here in Wisconsin, cheesy beer soaked brats with beer bread buns and - well, any combination of beer, brats, and cheese will do.

When was the last time you went outside or talked to a female without the use of a headset, and that wasn't related to you?

mrface is going to be pretty upset if NVidia doesn't give this to him after the show.

I hope it's not powered by Fermi, I don't like warm beer. Unless there's a Peltier cooler, then it will be ice-cold! Yummy! Yeah yeah... read the article. Lighten up, it's a joke.

How on earth did you guess / compute that 40 servings would be 5760 ounces... each serving is a 12-pack??

It's probably more like 480 oz, which is a serious stretch to call a 'keg'. A full keg is 1/2 barrel, which should be 15.5 gallons but I've seen many import kegs actually in the 13.5 - 14.5 range.
