Where can I get a complete iMac case? I want to make an iQuarium. A while back I saw someone get a one through eBay although it wasn't a complete case. I've searched eBay a dozen times but I couldn't find anything. I really want to make an iQuarium to accompany my MacQuarium (formally a MacPlus). Also, how much would you expect to pay for an iMac case?

Now Apple have changed the colours get down to your local retailer and try and grab one of the empty demo cases.

yep, that sounds like a good bet to me. Hrm. Maybe I'll go try to pick one up for the hell of it.

Thanks for the suggestion. I stopped by my local CompUSA this past weekend and the manager there said the display cases are owned by Apple. He has to check with them first before he can sell/give away the demo cases. He said to check back next weekend.
I'll keep you guys posted.

I'm curious how you plan on converting the iMac into an aquarium. All the MacQuarium's I've seen require an open top of some sort to access the tank, but with the sloped back of the iMac, that seems impossible. Unless you're willing to have the water level only come up halfway or so on the screen, of course.
