Meh, I don't see what the big deal is. I can't judge its merit as a
sculpture; I've seen uglier being priced higher. The value of art is
whatever someone is willing to pay for it. One can't judge the cost
of the source materials - all sculptures are in the end just a piece
of metal/wood/plastic/stone/whatever.
Is is a good use of an old Mac? Sure why not; they are not exactly
rarities. Is this any worse that collecting dust in a basement
somewhere, or being turned into a Macquarium?
This was obviously not a random bashing together of stuff, since it
required a microwave oven large enough to hold the Mac. I would like
to have seen the act of microwaving!
