Craftster.org member DogGrrl posted pictures of their excellent room, painstakingly painted and decorated to look like a diner. Just the murals are impressive enough to warrant it a second look, but buried on the fourth page of the thread is a link to DogGrrl’s office:
A vintage Coke machine on the outside…
and an impressive iMac house on the inside!

“To compliment my new dining room mural I bought an old unworking coke machine, gutted it and then sent it to a friend to weld some shelves onto it. Tada! Here is my new new computer cabinet! The Pepsi and Coke picnic coolers I am using to house my files/office stuff.”
Well done indeed. There’s a nice keyboard tray in there, a shelf for the printer, space for files and a phone, and the inside of the door is neatly multi-purposed as a magnetic calendar and note holder!

made of win. srsly.
Although this is a nice concept, I myself never got the idea of a computer cabinet. First, I couldn’t work on such a thing, way too small (I actually did fit a huge 2 m wide desk in my tiny student one-room apartment once). Second, why hide such a beautiful crafted iMac inside a cabinet, even if the cabinet is a Coke machine! An iMac is a design object, place it where everyone can see! Use the coke machine for something usefull (like storing Cola ;)
My employer has me working out of my house and provided a computer hutch for me to house their Dell laptop and printer/fax. Unfortunately the hutch they sent me is not as COOL as that! AWESOME job! I LOVE the “filing cabinets”/coolers too!
