101 uses for a dead Mac

[easterhay]

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.

Some animal lovers stuff a beloved pet when it dies. Mac fans convert dead machines into fish tanks.

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.

plug the power cord in an iBook and the green ring makes a great night-light for the kiddies

Sadly looks like we'll have to change the title of this thread to '101 uses for a dead applecollection'. Can't get a response, no vital signs. Anyone know CPR?

Sweet! I always liked the design aspect of the cube (saw one uber-cheap on craigslist the other day), i think slapping a intel mac mini would be cool!

So long as you don't do it to a working Classic Mac, it's all good.

 

[sinclair_tm]

yes, never hurt a working classic mac, we'd have to hurt you!

 

[nixgeek]

Or even any working Mac for that matter....
