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?
