Well, mine is serving as a stand for our cable reciever box so the remotes can 'see' it better :-)
I think a couple G5 cases would be nicer, and without the extraneous doo-daddery, the side doors would serve well as storage for magazines, games or a mini-bar :-)

It´s not technical and it´s ugly.
There are many different, more constructive, more creative - and more
helpful - things one can do than create fashion to image geekiness.
For $600 I´d rather buy a Mac Mini. It´s far more useful than furniture
that is dangerous to pets and little children.
Thanks for the link, Dan. Got my blood moving faster!

Jon.
Fashion, the attempt to image the ¨zeitgeist¨, is ephemeral at best.
Few things are more disgusting than the attempt to create ¨fashion¨ from
things that we work with every day. True geeks tend to ignore fashion
because we are interested in practical things, things that serve us and
those around us. We have a mechanical, practical, engineering desire to
make things work faster and more efficiently and to make them easier to
use. Serious, nerdy things are the antithesis of designing for
vanity. How much fashion can you see in hospital operating rooms, in
dentists´ chairs or in auto repair bays?

Please excuse the butt-in.... I am typing this on a G4. My heart sank
when I read the deal about the coffee table. I find the G4 Quite

G4s you have?? I am retired and kinda enjoy the layed back speed of
this G4... lol Let me know.... and regards , Leo

Leo - I imagine these machines weren't functional. Once the PS dies, it's
tough. Even used supplies aren't cheap (set me straight if I'm wrong there)
and the time to replace one isn't simple. I love my G4s, but when they go,
they get set aside.

Leo, I would really like to get rid of a few G4's. E-mail me off list and
maybe we can work something out.

Too bad otherwise useful G4`s collect dust. I have a 7100 PowerPc,three G4`s,and one G3 All in one. I use them. I`ve replaced power supplies(No big deal) in every G4.I have Tiger with Classic and OS9.2Also, I`m trying out Ubuntu and Hypercard. When I get bored,I crank up my Dell XP.
