This is NOT newsworthy but fun nonetheless.

Have a garage full of classic Macs and have been wanting to make an aquarium out of one of them, but as the Apple designs have modernized, I became disinterested in displaying a "boring beige" fishtank beside my modern iMacs/Powerbooks/iBooks.

Enter an old G4 Cube case and walla - the perfect Macquarium is only 1 sheet of acrylic away!

G4 Cube Macquarium

I think Steve would be much more comfortable in this G4qarium if he had a decent light

That sucker is really cool. Would look really nice in a living room with a beta in it. Maybe I can find a used cube somewhere... yeah right!
