Macintosh 2004 Case Mod
NOTD665 writes "'On January 24 [1984], Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh. And you'll see why 1984 won't be like "1984."' This was the pronouncement at the end of Apple's commercial, which TV Guide magazine would later deem the greatest commercial of all time. Aired during the 1983 Super Bowl, the now famous Apple Macintosh '1984' commercial informed the world that the age of modern, home PCs was coming. Get ready. Here comes the Mac... Finally, one fateful day in December, the Mac's slumber was awoken yet again. It was time for the Mac to be reborn." Too bad it doesn't run Mac OS X.
It's /.'d already because its saturday night. And you know what that means...
Apparently the web server is running the same Macintosh introduced to the world back in 1984 as well.
So, one can only imagine my disgust when I happened to see one of these glorious creatures sitting on the curb by a neighbor's house...
The computer shown is actually a Mac Plus, which was first released in January 1986.
I saw a mac mod some time ago where the person put a small LCD screen where the original monitor would have been as well as the usual replacing of componenets. It was slick. He could then run a Mac emulator to get the full effect. So unless you were told so, or you got pretty close, you'd never know it really wasn't a mac. Truly macabre!

You see, this post is just as pointless as that mod.
