Mac G3 + Shop Vac = Shop Mac

Posted by Hemos on from the what--about-hoover dept.

Jay Langhurst writes "Take a peek here for photos and explaination on how an 8 gallon shop vac can be converted to a home for an Apple G3. I guess air circulation isn't an issue after this switch."

    Why would someone want to do this?
    (I accept the fact that you are most likely an old style troll, but I shall bite.)

    1) Mobile. It makes your system really easy to move around (ever been to a LAN party?)

    2) Can't complain about air circulation/cooling.

    3) You get dust bunnies in your system? Me too. Now, the dust bunnies are in the right place from the start!

    4) "Uh, Sure dear, I would love to vacuum the house, but I am using it to play Quake right now..."

    5) Its wholesome geeky fun.

    (Sure, people say that this Mac sucks, well, I will have to build a PC with Windows into a large fan, then you could say my system blows.)

    /. has posted a lot stupid things people do to computers, but this has got to be the DUMBEST one yet. It completely boggles the mind. I can't begin to imagine WHY someone would want to do this.

    It's so stupid you actually have to admire the guy, for being twisted enough to think it up in the first place, having the balls to do it, and even more balls to admit it, take pictures, and allow someone to post it on the web.

    You must be living in a vacuum to think something like that. Macs like these clean house.
