I think that's kinda cute. I wouldn't know what to do with it other than maybe use it for a Betta. I'm guessing that whole blue back section pops off for maintenance but you're right, it does seem like it'd be a chore.

Hey I have one of these old computers sitting up in the closet collecting dust. Hmmmmmm.. lol

Oy. A bad package, though. Did you see what they were charging!?!?!?!? For air hosing, a low-end filter etc. Really not worth it!

But an interesting idea, nonetheless. I saw a tank in NYC that was a TV set gutted. The inside was beautiful. A miniature living room complete with hand-crafted and hand-painted chairs, TV etc. I think there was a 10 gallon tank inside. Artist's name was Sue Henshaw. It was going for $1000. Great piece of art!

LOL, I knew that would draw mac lovers out of the woodwork! I was only joking, a computer is a computer to me--a royal PITA no matter who makes them.

Besides, once I upgraded my wife's Imac to 10.3, bought Mac OfficeX, and put a two button mouse on it I can't tell the difference between that and a pc

Look in your wallet, some money will be missing compared to the PC

Well, the difference is now she's got a very cool computer rather than a buggy, crash all the time piece of !@#$! 8)

I know you were kidding, shawmutt, I couldn't resist.

That's a lot of money for such a small tank that comes with a "Starter container of goldfish food"
It would be better suited for a betta or some white clouds and a few cories--if you could change the water easily.
