"If you're like most geeks, your work environment can be a depressing and sterile place. Designed to crush your soul"... Why not make a fish suffer along with you?!
I guess its true, "Misery loves company".

Althogh I do think you could keep a Betta in that and it would be no worse off then at the petshop you got it.
This is just my viewpoint.

Probably better off, at least you would presumably change the water every so often.

if it were a gallon or 2 I could see doing a ghost shrimp in it. Any larger than the product as is would probably not be able to draw enough power via USB though
 
My 2 thoughts have already been voiced, either an afican dwarf frog or a mini reef with low light coral...Although a ghost shrimp or variant on that theme sounds very doable. A betta possibly, but not responsibly..

I would ditch the crappy light though and rig up something better even a 10watt CF would be 20 watts per gallon! Maybe just plant it with an anubus, haha..

Can't reply for the 'Geeks' but someone like myself (DS Tech) would simply tell the person with it on their desk to take it home - large (.4g) amounts of liquid next to your computer combined with the extra draw on the power supply are only two resons NOT to get this, especially as most companies tend to use laptops even for desk use nowadays..........can just imagine the calls to the helpdesk............"help, my laptop overheated and now the fish are going to die".....and......"well, I was cleaning my fish tank.........what?..... yes the fish tank next to my PC, anyway, I was cleaning it and now the keyboard is all sticky, and the PC keeps beeping at me"

Maybe this is why I want to slap some users sometimes.....(ok a lot of the time).
