Floating PowerBook
This is a pretty cool little hack to build a stand for your PowerBook (or actually any laptop) that will make it look like it is floating over your desk. All of this for about $15.
Here's the finished product with the final paragraph of the how to (because the site has been /.ed and is sure to be unavailable sooner or later): "Ta-Da! The finished project in action. It works prefectly. The computer isn't too much weight to damage the cardboard in any way, thanks to the backbone, and the nine rubber grips I put on make the computer nearly impossible to move unless I actually pick it up off the stand and move it. Wait, what stand? I dont't see any stand! That's because there isn't one, the computer's floating, silly..."
Check it out.

Too bad TUAW doesn't have a bigger image ... Interestingly, the http://cyberwebhost.net/ site is pretty fuzzy too. Looks like an unedited html template of some sort?

C.K., it appears the site will not load. I am getting "This Account Has Been Suspended Please contact the billing/support department as soon as possible."
