It looks just like the classic amp, but the Marshall Fridge is a 4.4 cubic foot refrigerator/freezer perfect for keeping your beer and pop on ice. And unlike the video clip and images here, you are not required to fill yours with Budweiser. Personally, I’d prefer to load mine up with some Bell’s Ale or maybe some bottles of Bawls.

Needless to say, Marshall wisely included knobs that go to eleven on the top of the fridge as well, making it the perfect addition to any music geek’s hangout. I only wish they figured out a way to include an actual speaker in the door, so it could work as both a fridge and an amp. Still, it’s pretty awesome.

Marshall expects to start shipping the Marshall Fridge this October for $299 (USD), and you can get on the pre-order notification list here.

They call this thing a kids toy, but any of us adult children would also enjoy having a little 1.75″ long vehicle that can drive up, down or sideways across our refrigerator doors for sure. Of course it doesn’t actually defy gravity – it simply uses small magnets to hold in place as the wind-up vehicle scurries along. Still, it’s pretty cool. And at just $4.99(USD), it’s pretty cheap too.

Head on over to ThinkGeek if you want one. Personally, if I had a fridge that actually held magnets, I’d buy a fleet of 10 of these. Or an actual anti-gravity fridge.

As an added bonus, the TARDIS fridge has a massive capacity, holding way more on the inside that your typical refrigerator.

Designer Fabien Nauroy came up with the Play, and it comes in a nifty little package shaped like a speech bubble. The compact device has a front-facing video camera and microphone for recording, and a small 2.4″ color LCD screen and speaker for playback. Once you leave a message, it has a bright LED indicator so you know that someone has recorded a clip.

It’s also got a built-in magnetic back so you can just stick it to most refrigerators. Plus, if you have a fridge that won’t hold magnets, you can just hang it over the handles with the convenient carrying strap. That also makes it easy to hang on a doorknob too. They also include a magnetic sheet with a sticky-tape back that you can hang up anywhere.

Specs are nothing to write home about with just 320×240 resolution, but it’s a fridge magnet so what do you want?

The Play is available for pre-order now over at Native Union for $59.99 (USD), and is scheduled to start shipping on October 20th. But good luck ordering it the U.S. Unfortunately, the drop-down menu to choose the color is borked in the U.S. version of their website. You’ll have much better luck if you live just about anywhere else though. Hopefully, Native Union will fix the problem soon for those of you who want to order one. Just don’t try their even more perplexing customer service page.

One geek has figured out that the magnets in that cool new iPad 2 Smart Cover are strong enough to hold the svelte tablet to the fridge door. The problem I see if that the stuff hanging on my fridge randomly crashes to the floor about every three days.

I would hate to see the iPad 2 crash to the floor because you were too cheap to buy a proper dock – or one of these – for your $500+ iToy. If you are the sort that doesn’t mind living on the edge now you know you can stick the iPad 2 up there like a piece of kid’s artwork.

ThinkGeek’s offering a total of 160 1-inch tiles in each pack, most of them being brick, wood, stone, dirt and cobblestone tiles. You can check out the full list at the product page.

ThinkGeek is selling the official Minecraft Magnets for $20 (USD) per pack. Of course, nothing’s stopping you from mixing and matching the tiles from this and from Kongscut’s pack. They both have 1″ tiles anyway, plus Kongscut’s 2nd pack has something that the official pack doesn’t have – mobs.

Why? Because you’re lazy. Don’t be mistaken, I’m just as lazy as you are. In fact, I keep a mini fridge in my office, just so I don’t have to walk all the way downstairs to fetch a drink. Of course, there are cooler ways to get your drink. Few of them are on par with this Mini Fridge Beer Cannon.

This thing does it all. Fire up the special app on your iPhone, select which beer will quench your thirst, aim it with the webcam interface, and fire. It even tweets when you’ve launched a beer. What more do you need from this thing? Except perhaps instructions on how to build your own.

Created by Etsy seller kongscut, the sampler set comes with 64 1-inch square magnets, each representing one of the primitive materials from the game. The set includes stone, sand, dirt, leaves, grass, water, and other environmental materials – including my favorite – lava. Of course, they include 18 of the stone ones, and just 1 of the lava ones. I want more hot molten magma! You’ll notice that the set is called “Set #1″, so presumably kongscut will be releasing more – perhaps some of the other block types.

They’re definitely a cool geek gift, and well worth the $10 bucks for the set. Grab a set over at Etsy now.

Yuri’s refrigerator uses no energy because it’s basically just a large compartment filled with “bio-gel”, a “non sticky, odorless gel” that “morphs around products to create a separate pod that suspends items for easy access”. Items placed inside the refrigerator are cooled by “bio-robots” using luminescence.

As you can imagine, the refrigerator has many advantages – it uses no energy, it’s space efficient, and it can practically be any size or shape, as long as it has space for the bio-gel. So what’s the catch? Simple – it’s not backed by hard data. The fridge is dependent on this non-existing goo filled with tiny robots that cool via luminescence.

Unfortunately, Dmitriev didn’t mention if he knew of developments or experiments that could someday lead to the development of bio-gel. But I can’t help but praise the man’s imagination. You think he’ll make it to the finals? Check out the rest of the semi-finalists at Electrolux’ website.

What I need is a new set of magnets, but not just any magnets mind you. I want magnets that anyone who walks in will see and know a geek lives here (as if they couldn’t tell by the gobs of gadgets in the house). The perfect magnets are these App Magnets from Jailbreak Toys.

These things look like the icons on the iPhone home screen, but are just different enough that Jobs and his legal ninjas might not pounce on the maker. Each little magnet is 7/8″ by 7/8″ and made of epoxy. You can get your own set right now for $12.99 (USD).

The stacks also allow for even more specific temperatures for different items – you can freeze your meat in one stack and leave your veggies on a separate stack. As you can see, the fridge is made of up to 4 modules plus a base module, which I think has the temperature controls and the actual cooling mechanism. Wait. So there’s still a problem when you and your fridgemate part ways – who gets the base module?

But if your fridge was as cute as these stacks, I’m sure you’ll be willing to buy another base module of your own. I like the one on the right. This is definitely one of those concepts that deserves to be mass-produced.

These mosaic magnets from Australia’s Motifo let you build complicated pixel art creations all over the front of your fridge.

Each pack of Motifo magnets ($79 to $99 USD) comes with nearly 1300 1-inch square magnets, along with diagrams to create numerous images on the face of your fridge. Motifo has put together pixel maps for a variety of celebrities, pop culture icons, and other patterns you can create on your refrigerator door. Each set can make any of the designs shown on their website, but the color scheme will depend on the kit you buy.

At the moment, both GNR8 and Motifo are sold out of these pixel magnets, but hopefully they’ll restock soon. If you poke around a little bit, you might be able to find a set at Australia’s Pulp Creative Paper.

In all, the set comes with 56 individual pieces, including 50 aliens, 4 defense bunkers, 1 UFO, and a laser cannon for wiping out the aliens. Lauren of LostMitten handstitched each one of these pixelated pieces, then attached a felt backing and a strong magnet to keep them up on your fridge.

For some stupid reason, the front of my stainless steel refrigerator won’t hold magnets, but I’d be willing to go back to a plain old white fridge if I could cover it with these.

You can find the complete set over on Etsy for $55 (USD). While that might sound pricey for fridge magnets, that’s less than $1 a magnet. Think about how much time it would take you to needlepoint and cut out 56 tiny magnets, and then get back to me. And if you really can’t handle that kind of spend, you can find smaller sets over on LostMitten’s shop for as little as $12 bucks.

Turns out that this awesome R2-D2 compact refrigerator was apparently made back in 2002 as a promotional prize for an Attack of the Clones contest held at 7-11 Stores in Japan. Word has it that just 1000 of these rare refrigerators were ever made, and now this one can be yours (assuming you’ve got the dough). Even rarer than the elusive Google mini fridge, this is definitely a serious über-geek collectible.

The guys over at ToyEast managed to get their hands on one of these rarities, and it’s in pristine condition. Priced at $1070 USD, it’s not exactly cheap, but if you’re a serious Star Wars fan, you might not be able to pass this up. Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, I could overdraw my my checking account for this one.

That’s right. In between rounds of Dig Dug and Space Invaders, you and your buds can grab yourself a tall cold one. The Gamerator comes loaded up with over 180 licensed arcade classics, but can also be connected to a game console of your choice. But who am I kidding? A few frothy brewskis and you won’t care if you’re playing that arcade game based on the rock band Journey or Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker.

In addition to the systems authentic arcade joysticks, buttons and trackball, there’s also a generous 24-inch LCD display for you to get your game on. But the best detail is the two cupholders embedded right next to the controls so you can enjoy you can keep your buzz going while you play.

You can find the Gamerator is floating around on eBay right now for a starting bid of two grand. Expect the price to rise from there.

The Koolatron Coin-Op Mini Fridge lets you chill up to ten cans of your favorite 12-oz. canned drinks (up to five cans each of two flavors). Then it requires deposit of money (Quarters only, though) before it dispensing a can. And it even comes with a dozen special tokens that you can keep for yourself, so you won’t have to pony up the dough for your own soda.

The Koolatron comes in both blue and silver versions and is available from Solutions (web only) for $149.99.

The MyFountain computerized beverage machine sits on top of your counter and can automatically crank out booze, mixed drinks, soft drinks, beer and wine with the press of a virtual button.

Just press the appropriate button on the LCD touchscreen, and you’ll have your favorite beverage in just seconds. Their Virtual Bartender software lets you create your own ingredient lists and set all the proportions for your own custom concoctions. If you don’t know what to make, there’s even an online drink recipe generator that’ll help you out.

A small refrigerator sits below your countertop and holds up to a dozen types of alcohol and mixers. There’s also lines for beer, wine, water and carbon-dioxide for cranking out fizzy drinks. When it’s done pouring your drink, it even automatically sanitizes the drink lines with hot water, so your Cosmopolitan doesn’t taste like a Negroni and vice versa. The system also offers password protection to keep those who shouldn’t be pouring drinks from going to town.

Manufacturer Digital Beverages is still wrapping up the final production version of the MyFountain, but expects to have them available for consumers, restaurants and bars by Spring 2008. Prices are expected to start just North of $2500 USD.

The perfect cure for a bland cubicle, the Marie Cool polar bear drink dispenser is just too goofy not to have one on your desk. The compact water cooler takes a lukewarm bottle of your favorite beverage and chills it to a deliciously drinkable temperature.

The Marie Cool is available from 10×10 for 54,800 Korean Won (about $60 bucks.)

The freshly hatched EGG LUTT refrigerator is perfect for keeping your brewskis and other snacks nice and cool. The fridge also has a warming mode if you want to keep something warm. They suggest hot towels — “Honey, bring me a hot towel!” It’ll even run on 12VDC power so you can run it from your cigarette lighter outlet on the road. “Honey, this traffic sucks. I could use a hot towel.”

There’s just one thing standing between you, a cold beer and a hot towel. These things are only available in Japan at present. So you can only hope that it won’t get cracked or scrambled during shipment. OK, I’ll stop now.

Brando’s USB Mini Fridge holds one and only one can of soda, beer or other drink in its tiny confines. The mini refrigerator even has a little blue LED light that turns on when you open the door.

Each fridge will set you back $33, or just under $200 for a six-pack.
