Mar 9 2010Computer Finds New Life As Crappy Hookah

This is a hookah somebody made out of an old computer case. Why'd you want to do that is beyond me, but I've given up on understanding why people do things. Except peeing outside, I totally get that. It's like, you're one with Mother Nature, you know? Almost like she's holding it for you. Anyway, back to this Compukah thing. To me it really looks like a -- what's the word I'm looking for? Ah, thank you. Yes, a giant piece of shit.

Oviously its made to hide it....

I believe this is a vaporizer, not a hookah. You lose two stoner points. Must restart at level one (beer can pipe).

You all fail. Hookahs are most commonly used for smoking tobacco.
8. MehbluKitteh:3 - March 9, 2010 6:04 PM
Oh yeah? Well Durand is a stupid name!

@ 7 Thats not what I use my hookah for...

This is so fucking tight, but could be construct much more ascetically pleasing. GEEKOLOGIE WRITER- cover more stories like this!!!! :)

I didn't fail. Generalizing is poor form.

OK, I did fail. Double post by accident and I just read the instructions...I guess it is a hookah. Seems like making a vaporizer would have been easier.

did they paint it? it's ugly enough without the preschool paint colors. what's the point? a real hookah would be prettier, more functional and easier to conceal even. don't ya think the bright are a little NOTICEABLE?

We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.

That looks stupid and way to much of a hassle.

@7 Who cares what you put in it. Most of us enjoy a smoke after sex, so this would be right up your alley anyway seeing as your know it all sex life probably exists only in front of a keyboard while you whack it to a bootleg copy of Avatar with a blue glove.
18. Durand - March 9, 2010 7:06 PM
@9 But there are much better devices to use for that than this. It's almost like buying a Mac just to run bootcamp and use windows.
@17 I wish I could say I'm like that, but I have yet to see Avatar. And believe it or not, I have had sex with an actual woman on more than one occasion. I fail to see how being a virgin would be a valid insult, however.

First @ New post.
Also did GW remove comments cos he's pissed ?
20. Durand - March 9, 2010 7:39 PM
You're not first on the new post, it has 12 comments already. It's an article from Iwatchstuff. I'm curious as to why it's on geekologie though.
21. Jaja - March 9, 2010 7:40 PM
@Durand - Silence yourself newgen, I don't venture off to other sites, so in my own mentality I am first. Your opinions and ideas on the matter are not welcomed here.

I'm sure this was an old computer. I'm one who is all for making McGyver bongs.... i mean give me an avacado, an ice pick and a snorkle and i'm golden, but i think this is labeled as a hookah, so that it doesn't have to be labeled as a 'bong' which would probably be blocked by websense. I myself also have a hookah (two to be exact) which are only used with the molasses based tobaccos. I also have enough glass to open a head shop. But this thing is more of a novelty.
@ Jaja
Durand is good peoples... he has more to offer than the typical firstard, and its nice to have people who actually "bring something to the table" commenting here, rather than "FIRST"..... just sayin

@Closet Nerd
I hadn't thought of the web filtering thing. You might be right. I clicked the link and saw a device in the side called a hookah that most definitely looked like a bong so I think it might also be an instructable issue as well.
As for it being an 'old computer,' I think my analogy was poorly written. I was referring to number 9 who said she used her hookah for other things. Basically I meant why use a fancy tobacco hookah for that when a simple bong works just fine? It's not like she's doing it for the flavor, you know?
And thanks for your kind words. You are also of value here.

@Durand
A bong indeed works fine, but there is nothing classier than lying back and hooting off a hookah. And please do not infer I do not enjoy the flavour of a fine Canadian bud.

hey looking differently, i like this type of hookahs only.
32. Refurbished Computers - April 12, 2010 4:51 AM
Wow - That's something real invention, we can do this to our old system which is of no use, we can also make hookah and use it.
I will say that this is a total use of money paid for this system.
33. refurbished dell computers - April 14, 2010 11:12 AM
I have never seen such kind of invention as this hookah looks quite interesting and unique and i think also very stylish. This thing will not only save your money but also give you edge to experiment with such kind of things. Thanks for sharing this interesting invention!

This idea has also sorts of potential. Users are free to do what they want on the host OS, including installing their own applications and data.
35. Dave Williams - January 26, 2011 7:32 AM
Haha, genious! What a great idea, with an old PC case, I guess this wouldn't cost much at all to try and replicate! :D
36. Dave Williams - January 26, 2011 7:34 AM
You can also make some pretty awesome designs on this online system configurator which is pretty wicked :)
