Super Cool Automated Computer Controlled Bar
Combine thirst, geekyness, programming, a monitor, pumps and booze and what do you get? An automated bar, of course. Make your own and impress the friends that are impressed by geeky things with the coolness that is keypad driven drink mixing. The author, a college student, surprisingly enough, claims to have spent about $400 on this summer project before losing track. One screen shot shows that the bar is PIN protected, which is probably a good idea, given that he's moving it into his dorm.
Also see Bar Monkey for pictures of other setups as well as a forum with instructions and help on building your own. If you only need drink ideas, check out the drink search engine, YourNextDrink.com.

- Attractive Dispenser made of high-impact UV resistant material for installation anywhere inside or out. (Optional colors available)
- Multiple
spout options are included free for easy installation on any horizontal
or vertical surface. Backlit selectors are interchangeable to customize
