101 uses for a dead Mac

I so hope this isn't a lame repeat of a long forgotten thread.....

In honour of that 80s cartoon book classic '101 uses for a dead cat', once your beloved Mac bites the dust, what the hell do you do with it?

Opening gambit - 12" iBook - wide open in death as in life: the perfect angle for a sturdy, wipe-clean recipe book stand.

my classic macs make great bookends. and centris 650s on their sides with wood planks make great book shelves. and i have a pb540c that is useless as a laptop, so i'm going to turn it into a digital photo frame one of these days.
