1. Fish Tank Side Case

It’s a novel idea, instead of looking at the computer parts you are proud of why not some plastic fish? This side replacement takes your window unit and transforms it into a fish tank. Too bad you cant use real fish because the lack of oxygen and extreme heat would kill them in as much time as it takes to exit assassins creed.

Rest of the list after the break!

2. Cigarette Lighter / Beverage Holder Drive Bay

Got an extra drive bay and don’t know what to do with it? Got a drink and don’t want to waste precious space on your desk? Smoke like a fiend while gaming? Hell this is for you! I am not sure why they didn’t opt to make the cup holder a ashtray.

3. Remote Control Powerswitch

Every wake up in the morning and are just too tired to reach all the way over to your computer to turn it on? Well worry no more.. simple find your wireless remote in the pile of junk on your nightstand and power your computer up before you whipe the crust out of your eyes. To add some actual use they added gauges and usb ports and junk…weee.
