…someone has finally done it:
Presenting the Caffeine Machine, “a fully functioning coffee maker integrated into a computer case. You pour the water into the funnel at the top, it goes down the tube into a book-shaped water tank where it sits until you hit the power switch, at which point the heating coil boils the water, sending it back up another tube and into the coffee grounds basket.” The site has a walk-through if you have a yen to make your own.
