What to do with broken imac?
I have an old g3 special edition imac (graphite) that is broken beyond repair, internally. It's just sitting out in my garage collecting dust. My family is moving soon, and I was thinking whether I should just toss it or try to do something with it. I remember seeing somewhere how to make it into an aquarium, has anyone done this? I'm open to any ideas, so fire away.

Make it into an aquarium (just search Google for iMac aquarium) and you will get lots of how tos.
If you want to dispose of it, Apple has a no charge recycling program for it.

I'm still trying to figure out if you're a girl posing as Macboy4139, or a boy posing as a girl, and a bit confused sexually. <shrug> laughinol

Macquarium!! Huzzah!
EDIT: you could also make a terrarium, and put a lizard or big-ass spider in it.

Aquarium, terrarium, or recycle are my votes.

easiest recycle..
Apple will send you a box to ship it back to them for proper disposal.

You might be able to make a bit of dough off eBay, I mean a BIT like very little.

I'll take some of the parts if you don't want them.
