Aquarium PC
I just had a funny idea... what about gaming rig with an aquarium with fish, a bubble treasure chest, a sunken ship, UV pebbles, and other decorations, built into the window, and two of those lighted water tubes in the front that have bubbles constantly rising from the bottom? That would be something I'd love to see!

*Gives the so so hand motion to the first two*
I don't think the fish in the third picture are even real. I've seen those already. They look like plastic fish.

Nah... Not with the powerful, low noise modern fans we have these days. I love the 21st century.
Another idea I have is for a computer with hamsters in it! There could be a few tubes going through the PC for them to run around through, and a hamster wheel that powers LED lights. That would rock! Be funny to see too. ROFL

I have seen various cases that have a 1" thick window of sorts that holds 3 or 4 plastic fish, a input for the pump to put bubbles in the water wich makes the platic fish move and has lighting on it.
Thats about as close as your gonna get I think, if they were real fish you would have real fish problems. Somthing that after awhile you probably wouldnt want esp right next to your computer.

it would probably only get to 80°F or so...lots of tropical fish prefer such temperatures.

There are fish that can take that temp, but very few if any that can take the wildly varying temps that you find inside a pc.
Just my 2 cents!

However, you wouldn't be able to see inside the PC, which would ruin the whole point.
