Thankfully, the metal/plastic boxes our old computers were made with have

had commented upon some as being rather attractive in appearance. I haven't
come across those yet.
Hmm, a list of computers that look good enough to display as art? Here's
mine (most are laptops):
IMSAI 8080
GRiD Compass
Ampere WS1
MINDSET PC (good enough for MOMA, anyway)
NeXT Cube
eMate 300
Of course you guys have heard of converting a Mac into a fish tnak?
I don't have a problem with that as long as they are small fish! Reminds
me of a friend who has stacked up Kaypros to use as end tables to a small
sofa.
