But can it predict the weather?

"I bet I could make a PC with that", is the 00's equivalent of "Dude, I can make a bong outta that".

Neat....just wouldn't imaging overclocking in that, might burn the toast. :)

Put a CD-R in it, and you can burn CDs instead of toast!
Thanks, I'm here all week.

Mwongozi, did you post this just so you could use that joke?

(Which is something I would respect, mind you.)

Ways to improve/geek it more:

1) Make the darkness/lightness dial increase/decrease overclocking speed.

2) Funnel the heat to the spare slot and actually cook toast with it.

3) Have a small speaker make a "ding!" or "ka-chunk!" sound when the CDR/DVD player ejects a disc.

It's been done before.

But that doesn't mean it's not worth doing again. I'm planning on putting one of the new EPIA-M mobos into an old NES, and I've seen that done twice before.

If it's an AMD processor, just remove the fan and you really can make toast.

According to an editor's note in the above link, the FPPed toaster PC was indeed built first.
