This is a G3 All In One 266. I got bored and put Christmas lights inside the case so it would glow pretty colors. I have more pictures and a tutorial set up at http://www.wpi.edu/~jyurek/aiw .





Actually, I've had to replace the lights since they went out. I'm looking into getting some light strings and putting them in instead. But I might just end up with more Christmas lights.

That's awesome! Although, shouldn't you call that an "Sparkling Mac" instead of a "Glowing Mac"?

I'll betcha it gets hotter inside with those lights.

Thanks a lot.

It probably does get hotter... but the way I think of it, they're on the top, so since heat rises.... it's not really getting hot... But I could be wrong.

And they're not blinking lights (thank God) so it's not really sparkling. Once the string lights are in, it'll be glowing even more. I'd like to keep it in a Christmas light like setup, but they burn out too easily... and have to be plugged into AC and can't be powered with the Power Supply. Oh well.
