I am looking for ideas for furniture made of 68k macs to

A) show off my collection
B) to keep clutter away by using my stored macs for storage, etc.
C) to be totally off the wall nutty.

insofar I have ideas on:

A) the mac table (4 compact macs with a sheet of glass on top all running after dark)

B) the mac lamp (1 compact mac with a lamp sticking out of it, mac running after dark)

C) the mac bookcase (2 compact macs hold a shelf, 2 compact macs hold a shelf, etc until 6 high)

any more ideas would be appreciated!!

the SCSI array bed...
take a bunch of really sturdy SCSI array boxes (of the same size) and put them down, so they will support a single, or a double sized mattress. have a really big flipswich to power them all up, and you will have te world's loudest bed! (also reccomended, add some large fans for air circulation) mac IIsi's make good mousepads too (I know, it's being used as one, until i get a monitor for it) hehehe I am bored, and this thread is funny.

LOL! Now if you can just get all the drives to have syncronized head movements, I'd bet you could create some intriguing vibrations.

I'm not sure what to think of the mac lamp, though. Something mentally disturbing about a lamp that runs after dark!?!?!?

It also seems like 4 pizza box computers could be glued together to make an open box shape that could be used as little hutch or small bookshelf (2 of the computers would stand vertically to create the walls).

And to complete the effect, paint the walls in a matching beige or platinum.

I used my 950 for a chair for a while, then when i had 2, they became legs to a table, probably similar to ti's pEcEs. Now i'm creating a barricade of 950s to block out the radiation from the next fallout.

get an Apple Network server, those things were so huge, that you culd do alot with them, coffee tables, if you had about 16 of them, put the in an 8by2 lineup and put a matress on them for a bed.

stacking the quadra 950s 2 high on the table should make a nice almost stand up bench, 3 high would be just perfect for a stand up computer workstation, and you can use the 950s as "big huge external hard drives" like how I use my PEESEE
