Sorry about that. I am using a free web hosting while I build my site, since I am in the process of teaching myself Dreamweaver. Once its further along I plan on upgraded to a paid web hosting site. The trade off is reliability and a crappy banner. The link does work, when the web server is doing its job properly...
That looks effing awesome, but couldn't that machine get a few more years of useful computing?
I grabbed it from work after the mother board was fried (out of warranty).
I stripped the RAM, HD, Video Card, Power Supply and Super Drive, and added them to our stock of available parts to fix other machines. Have not waste not.
nice what happens if you open the side panel?
I feed the fish....
The tank is constructed from 1/4" thick clear acrylic. and is resting on top of a support piece, which also houses a small air pump. There is absolutely no space between the back wall and door that is not filled by the tank. Its so tight inside the fame that I have to remove most of the water before it can be lifted out, via a small tube / valve assembly hidden behind the side door.
Because my site is mostly a presentation of finished work I don't have images of it under construction.
Hurry! I'm anxious to see this

Ha I just stumbled on this thread, very interesting idea. The oddest thing: Probably far from the most expensive fish tank (new price).
Really nice job!
I reckon you should feed the fish by placing the food in the optical drive (some plastic thing that moves) and slide it in
