Bus System: Remote Maintenance And Cleaning Included

The system is based on a proprietary LON bus, special hardware (dongles and cards) provides connectivity so that firmware updates are possible, for instance. The coffee machine can also be operated remotely, and of course the machine itself has completely automatic self-cleaning capabilities, as is typical with products from the big brand manufacturers (Jura, Saeco and Krupps).

    Nothing special, it just parts of an idustrual coffe-exprssos machine moved to a ugly talll pc case.

    If it was a gizmo that used three 5.25 bays and still let you keep the case
    as a computer when we are talking.

    Well I'm quite sure ya could fit a slim notebook's internals into the case, if you were willing to lengthen wires and such.
