Macquarium? That's so 90's
We've all seen Macquariums, those water-tight fish aquariums made from the corpses of deceased Macs. They're definitely fun, but what if you've got a whole slew of dead Macs? What can you do with all those empty shells?Flickr user Superchou has set up several old Macs as a quite nice potted garden. Two Apple IIGS's, five Macintosh Classic II's, a Mac SE and a Mac Plus all act as either planters or stands in her creation. I like it.
Is it me, or is the monitor of the Classic on the far left actually displaying something?

What a horrible display of old shit and rather crappy plants. Leaving the Mac dimension aside, this is fugly.

I miss my Mac Classic something fierce. I spent many a lazy day playing New Tetris and Dungeon of Doom and Mission: Thunderbolt. The new systems are more powerful and oh-so-flashy, but I really miss that old beige box.

If you click the All Sizes button and click the original size, it blows up to a huge photo, so you can take a closer look. I think I might steal this idea and make a planter out of one myself. I wonder if I could rig it to make the bottom removable for collecting water and dead leaves...
