The Macquaruim .....................

[Inchworm]

I found this good use for old computers. It seems like there are quite a number of people who turn their old Mac computers into fish tanks. Here are a few links. Some have instructions included:

What do you think of this idea?

It's not a bad idea. I saw this on Tech Tv Last year on the ScreenSavers. I can guarantee someone is making a mint on it.

I have seen those, shame I flung that antique Mac LCII out when I moved house!!

Hey i have an old Mac. Cool

I've been storing an old Mac and a booklet of downloaded instructions for building a Macquarium. Maybe this will motivate me to get started. My wife occasionally asks why I've had this stuff sitting around for two years.

Grab an old Mac before it's too late. This could get really tricky with a flat-panel monitor.

That's the greatest thing I've seen since the Fish Highway!

I read the directions, lot of work, and too much craftiness involved for me, but I'd buy one if someone made it for me

What's the fish highway?

I love the idea!

That is the biggest waste of anynones time I have ever seen!! what is the point of taking everything out of the computor just to stick a fish tank in there??!!! If you want a fish tank, get a fish tank, if you want a computor get a computor! pfft!

Well I think it looks pretty cool...

Not only cool, but those old imacs are pieces of junk, so there are no lack of dead ones to be gutted

(mine, in fact, is sitting useless right now and I'm giving this topic some strong consideration!)

 

[tuffers]

everyone to their own I suppose!

the people at Pixar made a tropical macquarium when they were making Finding Nemo

If you have the special edition DVD you can see it on one of the special features (I don't remember which one though)
