Exactly, it would be a first, and an awesome one at that.

I have heard the idea of making a flat panel into an ant farm before. Maybe that will be my next project.

That, my friend. Is about the coolest thing in the world I have ever seen. I liked the cat house idea, but this is far more creative and innovative. You work for Apple? Sell them your idea

I get most of my iMacs from local schools or recyclers. They are usually scratched up but a buffer and some plastic polish shines them up nicely. I am building 50 iMacQuariums right now. I am also making a do-it-yourself page for my website. I'll post it when it's finished but right now I'm just selling them to anyone who doesn't have the time or tools to build one themselves.

I would love to give anyone some tips and advice if they are trying to make their own.

I have a Mac plus 1MB but I think it still works so I may not turn it into an aquarium.

Well, if you ever do make a mac classic one and want to sell it for a reasonable price let me know.

I just took some more pictures of the one I have set up in my office.
They look very cool in the dark when the light illuminates the case and the tank. I have more pictures and you can buy one on my iMacquarium site www.jakeharms.com

Has anyone ever made an aquarium out of a 17 inch CRT Apple Cinnima Display?
I just got 3 that don't work and am going to try to make aquariums out of them to!

I just hope the stand is sturdy enough to hold all of the water weight.
