Having put together two serious, blazing-fast systems I wanted to do something a little different. I also wanted to keep my budget down to a minimum. Building a fish-tank computer seemed perfect!
I think I'm going to give it to my little sister so she can further impress the nerdy boys in her dorm at UC Berkeley.
Eclipse 6 tank - Goodwill Store - $5
Lexan scraps - lying round from previous builds
Cold cathod lighting - ditto
PSU - ditto
Wireless card - purchased for Scorch, but had some kind of horrible driver conflict in the early days of Windows Vista 64-bit (shudder) before 64-bit systems were commonplace and well supported.
Old non-functioning computer - sister-in-law I
Power switch - www.mnpctech again
Mineral oil - veterinary supply store on Ebay - $70.
Aluminum project box - Fry's Electronics
Fasteners - Ace Hardware
Motherboard mounting screws - local computer repair store
Blue gravel, plastic underwater plants, and a bubbler setup - Capitol Aquarium
IDE cable extenders - www.pccables.com Nothing worth mentioning.
Finally, I'm going to try Linux (Ubuntu10.10) since I don't want to pay for another Windows license. All in all, I think I paid about $200-250 for everything I didn't already have lying around, with the big expenses being the aquarium supplies and the mineral oil itself.

Friend's kid: Mommy, what's church?
Mommy: Church is where people go to learn about God.
kid: Who's God? Does he teach karate?
