This was my idea 2 years ago. Why not connect the cpu heatsink<br>
to the underside of the top of a tower case. Coffee warmer,<br>
hot plate, etc. Now if you were really ingenious you could have <br>
liquid lines to heat the water for your coffee go through the<br>
cpu heatsinks to use the heat to make hot water (rgb note: this is not <br>
a liquid cooling method discussion - I'm talk'n coffee). Then you could<br>
have a program called coffee that would crank up your cpus to just the<br>
right brewing temperature, make the coffee and keep it warm on top of the<br>
case.<br>
<br>
Ah but I have given away to much. I am off to patent the <br>
"one click coffee maker workstation case"<br>
