Okay, only one food related idea...needs a spare cdrom with tray modded and reinforced to function as an effective cupholder. Bonus points if it's one of those two-tiered thingies that can hold either a mug or a soft drink cup securely. Extra bonus points if you've got some tiny message or other means of lampooning people who are about to make fun of you for using a cdrom as a cupholder.
Regarding the electronics, how about cramming in two motherboards? Take a nice old Pentium II board, a soundblaster AWE 64 ISA card, and use Synergy (check sourceforge) to run it with one keyboard/mouse like a regular dual monitor setup. Now you can play all those old games like Ultima and Tyrian with your main box!
Regarding the cooling, a chiller setup is always spiffy. I'd love to see a custom made chiller block using a bunch of tecs run at low voltage for efficiency. Cool 'em with a separate loop and heatercore, and run your (two!
) cpus at below ambient at load.
I've always thought it would be fun to replace the springs in a floppy drive to make it a floppy disk launcher. Preferably of sufficient strength to break the disk upon impact.
Oh, and absolutely silent.
