G4 Cubequarium

Posted by pudge on from the so-that-is-where-they-put-nemo dept.

Joe writes "I've put together some info and pictures of the aquarium I made out of a G4 cube case Here It's a lot cleaner looking than the old fashioned Macquariums, and is pretty easy to make ... as long as you're willing to sacrifice your Cube." Indeed, it's quite sharp-looking. Apparently, this Cube was already dead, so all you Cube enthusiasts can put down your meat cleavers and relax.

      boy...I'm sure glad you pointed that out. I'm certain the grandparent poster didn't know about that story at all. That wouldn't have been why they pointed it out to begin with now, would it?

    I'm falling in love with the cube all over again.
    That is absolutely gorgeous.

      Gil Amelio was a complete tool. I 'get' the pun, but Amelio was about the most worthless CEO that company ever had. Put my stock in the toilet, wasted away good ideas, and never gave me the PowerBook that I was promised for my Apple Tattoo. I hope his 'golden parachute' folded over and he dropped to the ground like a rock.

  4. Screen Saver by priceb · · Score: 5, Funny

    Some people have an aquarium for a screen saver, while others just turn their computer into an aquarium. Nice job, looks great!

    I was going to suggest you try ebaY, but at those prices, I'd stick with dumpster diving.

    ....keep a fish in a tank again after watching "Finding Nemo".

  7. What About That Damn Power Button? by PrintError · · Score: 5, Funny

    When you wave your hand too close to the top of the tank, do the fish all go to sleep spontaneously?

    And are the fish upgradable, or do they maintain the Cube's original business model of "utterly useless in 4 years".
