Say you have 6 drive bays but only need 4 and have any extra psu lying about?
so what I did and add the psu and take the top 2 drive bays off and add a strip of metal and put peltiers along it, then fill it with cans of coke and put a sort of lid on the front.
A nice vending machine :)
Perfect for lan partys

Yes, I've seen the coffee maker machine before, no vending machine though. :P That would be quite nice to have though... you could always keep your case in the fridge and put drinks NEXT to it, I know that works. :)

if you are gonig to have a mini pop dispensor, you are going to need a lot of peltiers. I like my drinks cold!

Well the peltiers are 50mm x 50mm I think. Each peltier gets the drink cold if its 80watts, the higher the watt the faster it goes!. I have a 550 watt psu that has about 300 watts of 12V power. So we could fit 4 x 80 watt pelts in or 2 x 155 watts. A 80 watt pelt will be fine. Also do you just put the pelt on bear metal? or do you have to use sealing coldplates?
I am confused
