An infinite collection of Macquariums
A few months back, when I inherited an old Indigo iMac G3, I asked you guys for ideas what to do with it... and have still yet to follow through on any of them. One thing I was resistant to the idea of doing was the timeless Macquarium mod: I suspected it would actually be a lot harder to accomplish than merely filling the thing full of water, as well as being prone to catastrophic failure and a bit cliched to boot.
Still, if you're interested in turning practically any old Mac into a goldfish bowl, this instruction gallery over at the Apple Collection has you covered, from the Mac Classic right down to the Newton. Interestingly, this has finally got me thinking: I wonder how my budgerigar companion Humbert J. Humbird would like living in an iMac cage?

Second Best Budgie Name EVAR (First still goes to Dorothy Parker, who said she named her parakeet "Onan" because he spilled his seed upon the ground).
My MacQuarium, in frequent use since April 1998, has never sprung a leak. Built from a Mac Plus to Andy Ihnatko's original specifications and held together with nothing but aquarium sealant, I couldn't be happier with it.
