For those of you who are in tight spaces and you have a small fish tank, you might want to turn your PC into a fish tank.  Not only that, this fish tank hack keeps your PC usable.

I had an old outdated dead PC laying around and seeing how I wasn’t using it for anything I decided to turn it into an aquarium. For a long time now I always wanted to somehow get a real aquarium into a  PC.  It all started when I found a glass block called the ‘Krafty Block’ at a local Hobby Lobby. It was small enough to fit in my dead PC, hollow, and water tight.  And so the project began working everything around this block. During the build I replaced the power supply to power up the Neon Light and Air pump and to my surprise the PC booted up!!

Here’s a rather ingenious hack where the owner of this fish tank has replaced his florescent lights with LEDs.  On top of that, he has used aluminum casing that transfers heat generated by its LED system into the water directly. (You can see aluminum bars extended into the water.)

First off, I don’t think the LEDs themselves generate enough heat to actually heat the water much because LEDs in general are low-heat devices.  But it seems like the owner of this fish tank has used special LEDs plus the voltage regulator in the LED lighting circuit probably generates a ton of heat, enough to warm the water a bit.

Overall, this hack seems to work well as proven by the author’s power meter, saving about 35Watts.  Nicely done.

Talk about a great screen saver! I’ve been wanting to do this build for a while now. Just about every time I see and old CRT computer monitor by the side of the road on trash day I think to myself …that would sure make a cool looking fish tank. So here is my first attempt at turning and old computer monitor into a fish tank.
