Your computer...housed in a taxidermy beaver -- I shit you not...
http://www.neatorama.com/2009/07/19/turn-your-computer-into-a-beaver/



Instructables has a detailed set of how to’s to let you convert your computer case into a taxidermy beaver. Nothing says quality technology like dead animals. It’s pretty easy, just look at step one:

Purchase a beaver of your very own
There are lots of old taxidermy mounts out there - garage sales, antique stores, ebay are all good sources for older pieces. You’ll probably want a high quality mount since you’ll be removing the bulk of the internal structure, so better quality (ie not falling apart) probably means stronger.

4. I used to know a family who would love something like that.
They had all kinds of stuffed/preserved creatures in their house. :scared:

6. I thought we couldn't start sex threads.
Especially mixing computers and beavers.

But seriously... computers have been put in all kinds of things.

Check out http://www.mini-itx.com/ ... they got lots of things they did with various boxes...

Behold: The ToAsTOr

Or... The iGrill

How about A "slightly upgraded" Commodore 64?

Want a copy of Windows XP? Sure, this one comes with the computer inside the box.

If MP3's existed in 1930, they could be played on this gramophone.

Yep, computers can be put in all kinds of things.

Mark.

7. Right after I sold my husband's Millenium Falcon model, I saw this ITX mod
And kicked myself for not doing that with the model!

10. I have the old "Visible Horse" model I was given as a kid - maybe I should mod that
Into a computer! The horse body is clear plastic so I've be able to see the innards. But there is no good place for the DVD burner like there was for one in the Millenium Falcon, so that could be weird. Hmmm, I wonder what other horse style objects could be converted - maybe a wagon or buggy?! A Barn! This has possibilities.

12. Webcam in the eyes? USB ports in the ears? Firewire in the mouth?
So many possibilities...
