Oneiroid Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I also custom build MacQuariums with Classics and SEs etc. Here are some photos of the early model. Note that these pictures have not been updated for a long time... http://www.unusualbehavior.com/other/MacQuarium/ New models are not built with undergravel filters, no air-lift in the viewing pane, and no visible water line with the face-plate on (and no duct tape, hehe). If you are looking for a unique little cube tank for your desk, I would also suggest modifying a Mac Cube. Very cute, and way more functional than in its original state (as with all macs turned aquariums IMHO) :smokey: *** Please do not try disassembling any computers with a built in monitor until you learn how to properly ground a CRT. Seriously... very dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Very cool I've also seen some sweet setups made from those old TVs that sit on the floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGr8Blade Posted January 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I love those tanks....so cool. Could probably make one out of those clear sided towers too LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beermaster Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 I have a couple old Blueberry Imacs, sounds like it could be a cool little project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midgetwaiter Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 *** Please do not try disassembling any computers with a built in monitor until you learn how to properly ground a CRT. Seriously... very dangerous. This is beond dangerous. We're talking laying in a puddle of urine 10 feet away with a huge burn on your arm, if you're lucky you might wake up again. When the above happened to me I had the proper equipment to do this and had been trained on CRTs and high discharge stuff like battery backups as well. I don't know if I actually touched it or not, I can't remember. This was far from the first monitor I ever took apart either. If anyone wants to try this I will ground out your CRT for you if you bring it to me free of charge. Provided I can find my tools, I have no idea where I put them. Also keep in mind that a CRT can hold a charge for years at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is somthing i fully agree with, I have seen this fisrt had as well, not to me, but to a co-worker, put almost through a wall, it was bad and very scary I would take Midgetwater up on his offer if you where to attemp this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Prawn Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 We're talking about an unplugged monitor, right? It can do THAT?! -Hideo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oneiroid Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Yes. CRT monitors can hold hefty charges for years. Unplugged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
