What could be better than an Apple iMac? How about an iMac with a coffee maker and sound system built right in? That’s exactly what the iMac CS is.

To build this custom setup, German modder “kiwidee” uses old iMac cases and adds some modern computing by means of an integrated Mac Mini. The front speakers are rigged to a JBL Spot sound system. And not just any coffee maker is inserted, but the hip and trendy WMF1. What else could a geek need?

At PC Fastlane, we love hard disks as much as the next geek, but once a drive becomes obsolete, what do you do with it? Turn it into a clock, duh! A number of Etsy sellers are making hand-made clocks out of abandoned and unloved hard drives.

Most are priced under $40 and are made in the United States. Some of my favorites include this clock, this clock, and this clock. Keep in mind that sizes range based on the type of drive used (laptop or desktop) and some are meant to be wall-mounted or designed to sit on a desk.
