    The submitter really asked for it, didn't he?

  2. I did the same with my Dell. by AtariAmarok · · Score: 5, Funny
    I did the same sort of thing with my Dell running Windoes ME. Only it was my office, not my kitchen. It did not take much effort or thought. It was really more of a spur of the moment thing. That final blue creen was the last straw. Seconds later, the Dell was embedded in the drywall halfway up on the other side of the room.

    Also, a hint: If you have a G4 Cube you wish to hide in your kitchen, merely replace the current heating elements in your oven with the ol G4 Cube. It is both sightly and functional this way.

    That's nothing - I used to use a VAX 9000 as a wall. And a furnace.

    That funny comment reminded me of something I saw years ago touring the old Commodore plant in West Chester, PA.

    Somewhere in the piles of stuff I have accumulated over the years I have a picture. It's a picture of a picture frame encompassing an internal floppy drive embedded in the drywall behind it.

    The story goes that an engineer was up all hours of the night trying to debug a problem with his new floppy drive circuitry. After hours and hours of fruitless troubleshooting, he discovered that the problem wasn't with the circuitry, it was with the drive itself. The frustrated engineer picked up said floppy drive and whipped it at the wall - where it became one with it. The picture frame was later added for decoration.

    Just the wires are. The MAC is under the cabinent.

    Actually, the MAC is inside the case, on the network card. The Mac is under the cabinet. (Well, OK, technically the MAC is inside the Mac, so the MAC is also under the cabinet, but still.)
