Apple G4 turned into a mailbox
We love mods of older Apple hardware and the resurgence of this oldie but goodie is no exception. Spotted and photographed in the Te Atatu suburb of Auckland, New Zealand, this classic mailbox features a gutted G4 that has been modified into a mailbox, complete with a front flap and address numbers. Stuck waist-high on a post, this novel use of non-functional Apple products brings new meaning to the words "You've got mail." We have seen several other G4 and G5s used creatively in the past, including our favorite G4 cube aquarium, which turned a gutted and cleaned G4 cube into a stunning Maquarium. We also have the defunct G5 that was morphed into a clock and the simplistic, yet practical G4 tower table that was lovingly placed outside as a stylish shelf. Any other mods you have seen, or perhaps even done yourself, that are worthy of a shout out?

I'm still partial to the iMac G4 lamps.

I've got an old G5 and Mac Pro serving to hold up a plate of glass as a table.

Ha, I knew we covered this in the past, but could not find the original post. Thanks for finding it!

And by the way, the G4 Table mod doesn't count as a mod. All he did was put a G4 on the floor. Mere placement does not a mod make, something has to be MODified.

Thank you for saving me from typing that. I thought I was missing something for a minute....
