NVidia won CES. Amazing innovation!

[Euphoria14]

The CES is all about innovation.  Las Vegas is all about having fun.  Nvidia seems to understand this better than anyone.  It’s a keg – it’s a computer – it’s the KegPuter!!

First off – yes, it actually serves beer.  (Sierra Nevada Pale Ale to be exact)  But this is also a beast of a PC.

Here are the specs of the KegPuter:

• 2 x EVGA GeForce GTX 580 Hydrocopper 2 graphics cards in 2-Way SLI
• ASUS P67 Sandybridge motherboard
• Intel i7 2600 3.4 Ghz Sandybridge CPU
• 8 gigs of DDR3 Crucial Ballistix at 1600 Mhz
• Crucial 160 Gig SSD
• Danger Den Extreme liquid cooling system
• Antec 1200 watt TruePower Quattro PSU

Here’s what Nvidia had to say about it:

"This mod is a blissful marriage of a 15.5 gallon keg and a liquid cooled GeForce GTX gaming PC.   Did I mention that it has a fully functional beer dispensing system? Thanks to Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. we were able to develop a solution to install a 2.5 gallon mini keg with an integrated refrigeration system and in-line Co2 pump into the KEGputer.  With it, you can pour ice-cold beer without the need of pesky beer pumps or giant tubs of ice."

So not only is this a beastly PC – but it’s also an innovation in Keg technology.  It keeps the beer cold all by itself!!

I played some Starcraft II with the KP then took some pictures and proudly shook Nvidia’s hand.
