Spotted at this week’s QuakeCon 2008, this is one computer that probably doesn’t have to worry about overheating.

The Barbecue Grill PC is definitely one smokin’ machine. But instead of cooking burgers and ribs, this grill conceals a complete gaming rig, capable of pushing plenty of pixels for playing the latest and greatest computer games. Just pop open the lid, and hidden beneath the lid is a nice big widescreen LCD monitor and a powerful PC. Those glowing orange fans really make it look like the coals are nice and hot.

From the look of all of those fans and heatsinks, I’m guessing this machine would get hot enough to cook your lunch as well as a regular BBQ if you ripped out all the cooling. Then you could slather on some sweet and smoky BBQ sauce to keep those CPUs and GPUs cool.
