What happens when this thing starts to leak as your 600W RTX 4090 is under extreme load (assuming the 4090 can even fit inside this thing)?

This is definitely in the running for stupidest ideas of all time.

This looks incredibly fishy.

Don't worry people, I'll be here all afternoon!

3.4 gallons isn't big enough for 99.9% of fish in the aquarium hobby.

Or you cook your fish. 80 degrees Fahrenheit, 26.6 Celsius, is usually the top end for tropical fish.

13L that's for 2, max 3 fish and cold water fish... Maybe a Beta...

Missing a trick by not making the fish tank a reservoir 😆

Anyone that has ever owned and maintained an aquarium knows that this is a bad idea. What happens when you do a water change? No matter how careful you are, water still goes everywhere

I’d have loved something like this for my tarantula

I was thinking what happens when your 600w 4090 is under extreme load? Boiled fish? Brings a new meaning to fish ‘n’ chips

That could work. No water and heat from the system would be good for a tarantula

This will not serve as a heat sink since the glass bottom is not a good conductor of heat and is actually a decent insulator. You may have noticed the use of glass windows on houses. Also the inside bottom of the aquarium is usually filled with sand or gravel which will minimize the amount of water moving over the surface so not much hope of removing heat that way. The best use for this is to just fill it with ice and use it keep a supply of your favorite beverage handy.

And after your fish are cooked you can eat them!

A terrarium/Zen garden, I could get behind. Especially if you lack alot of space (I would have liked this for my college dorm)
This?
No.

As someone with a little over 10 years in the aquarium hobby: Novelty item this is. Practical it is not.

The fish that an aquarium of this size would be appropriate for, would find their way into the pump tubing(out of curiousity), get stuck/ground in the impeller and die from it, thus blocking liquid flow.

Not to mention when they go nuts at feeding time and splash water.

Shouldn't be hard to do- with just an inlet and outlet tube somewhere. Problem is cleaning the crap off the heatsink... fins lol

I have kept aquarium fish since grade school. And this is seriously a bad idea...

Isn't a fish screen saver, or an old CRT converted to a fish tank, enought?

Random association has me thinking of firing up the endless loop yuletide logs in a fireplace video on the large screen in the living room, crank the AC, bundle up in winter clothes, and try to forget how hot it is outside (a muggy 95 degrees, 106 with the heat index).

The bigger issue in my mind is the mineral/salt creep that inevitably happens with aquariums.

This is an idea doomed to expensive failure.

Absolutely. I'm under the impression that most aquariums needed chillers more than heaters, unless things get really cold in winter. Pumps and lights do more than enough heating the water a few degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius (doesn't really matter which) above ambient most of the time.

Or maybe I'm just used to corys and tetras. Those are almost cold-water as far as tropical fish went.

You may well soon have fireplace-styled cases, complete with cozy animated orange-red lighting, the way things are going for high-end parts and their wattage.

Yes, even that would've made more sense than a fishtank.

bad idea for a fish tank, but to raise insects that would be good

I picture a small and well decorated terrarium for a few stick-insects or a praying mantis

I don’t know you could grow weed in it

This is how you cook your fish in the future. Slap a 600W GPU and 250W TDP CPU, run some benchmark, and you will have steamed fish in 30 mins.

Jokes aside, idea sounds cool, but in practice, it is irrational. 2 additional risks that can happen here, (1) a leak means goodbye to your computer, and/or, (2) you really cook the your beloved fish. The water won't boil, but the drastic increase in heat will kill whatever is in the water, other than the algae.
