Very cool :cool: :cool:

Then again, those MacPro towers are just about works of art in their own right..

Pic and linky no worky.

Sorry about that. I am using a free web hosting while I build my site, since I am in the process of teaching myself Dreamweaver. Once its further along I plan on upgraded to a paid web hosting site. The trade off is reliability and a crappy banner. The link does work, when the web server is doing its job properly...

I grabbed it from work after the mother board was fried (out of warranty).
I stripped the RAM, HD, Video Card, Power Supply and Super Drive, and added them to our stock of available parts to fix other machines. Have not waste not. :)

nice what happens if you open the side panel? :D

I feed the fish....

The tank is constructed from 1/4" thick clear acrylic. and is resting on top of a support piece, which also houses a small air pump. There is absolutely no space between the back wall and door that is not filled by the tank. Its so tight inside the fame that I have to remove most of the water before it can be lifted out, via a small tube / valve assembly hidden behind the side door.

Because my site is mostly a presentation of finished work I don't have images of it under construction.

I thought I should be to some assistance, as I could reach the website. Hopefully my server is more reliable!

If the creator wouldn't want his pictures on my server, I'll delete them - just name it. :)

Really nice job!

I reckon you should feed the fish by placing the food in the optical drive (some plastic thing that moves) and slide it in :rolleyes:
