alright, so i was going to follow all this up with a link to some bloke shoving a coffee maker into his pc case but couldn't find the link, so in my search i came across these other alternatives. Perhaps you could at least use mirc to execute some external program macro which will send info through usb/ata/etc to start all this craziness going, either way I found it entertaining, if not in a worrying way.
