Real or fake? Check out the second pic of the bottle from the side.

I would say FAKE
I should go glue some I/O ports to my Dogs As* and say I made a robodog:rock:

Dunno, perfectly feasible as a 1.5L bottle is quite large and I`ve used them before (cut them in half makes it easier) but just putting HiBrite leds and a sequencer in. Glass resin glue is remarkably effective and holds big fish tanks together easily and industrial boards are very small. 60w psu for a low power PIII though?

OK Shish
I will send my dog to you for the upgrade to I/O ports Just make sure she can crunch DC when I get her back And can run on battery's for at least 15 min. so I can walk her ->:jester: ->:cheers:

PS not saying it could not be done I have seen working Motherboards at comdex that were like 5"X3.5" but the Pic's just showed a fan and some connectors. If I did it I would show every little detail of it

Well I would definitely upgrade my dog if she could crunch DC as well as she crunches fish heads (kippers are her fav treat just now) and there`d be plenty room in her cos, with the lack of exercise, she`s like a beer barrel on legs :harhar:
Dunno about that guy, but I def reckon I could fit a mini pc in a 1.5L bottle though a 3L like we use in the bars for V would be better and more fun to drink dry ready for the project :cheers: :looney:

Looking further at the photo, may be perspective and crunching down to jpeg that makes it look fake, camera lenses can cause that at certain angles and focus which is how a lot of trick shots are done.
I know the 1.5L Ballantynes bottle is quite wide and some of the industrial boards we used to use would certainly fit. We had one Husky rig that was little bigger than a pocket calculator, no fan, used a piece of ally about twice the size of the cpu for a heatsink, PIII low volts, and a board that was twice the size of the cpu plus a then, state of the art (and very expensive) memory board cum solid state hard drive, rechargeable battery powered or any local volts source, etc and that would likely fit in a cigar case if not a large cigarette packet. Certainly no bigger than a modern PDA and was used as a local data logger with ip video access.
