These days with the proliferation of USB thumb drives and gigabit Ethernet, even my DVD drive has been gathering dust since OS-install-time. Before that when combination CD-RW and DVD drives were nonexistent or expensive that still leaves and extra drive bay or two. What exceptionally inventive, useful, or clever uses have the community found for this extra space? Bonus geek cred for solutions making use of the power rails inside the case."

Into the hotplate for keeping your coffee warm. Do I have to do all the thinking round here?

They do, they even come with a monitor you can open and close over the keyboard - they call it a "laptop".

Personally, I prefer the cup holder / cigarette lighter [crazypc.com].
Install an electrically-fired ZIP gun in the thing ... anyone tries to break into your files, you set it off and have a "drive bay shooting".

What's the matter? Hit a bit close to home, Mr. Dope Fiend?
Alcohol is a different matter since there are pubs, clubs and other young adult meeting places specifically made for drinking while socialising, not for simply getting intoxicated. Smoking dope, on the other hand, is for nothing but getting intoxicated. I would say that anyone who drinks past the age of 30 or anyone who drinks to get shitfaced drunk should go to AA. Anyone who needs to get intoxicated like that is running away from something instead of being an adult and facing life.
With that said, I've only two words for you. Grow up.
