The PC in a Macintosh from Pilot Productions
 
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp Good day my friends! Over the past few weeks I've been working on another one of my hairbrain projects... a Macintosh PC Hybrid. Take a look

As you can see, I have crammed an entire PC inside a tiny Macintosh SE/30 (circa 1990) case. Like my microphone, I've taken pictures of everything done along the way. I may post a photo album. The one miracle that allowed me to build this was the finding of a 9" SVGA monitor to replace the old black and white one! What do you think?

That actualy seems like a practical use of an old macintosh. That sounds intersting, I would personaly like to see the photo album of how you did it, I would like to know.

Wow! Very good, Justin! That IS impressive! It's not every day that you see one of those old Macintosh SE's running Windows 98! :D
Perhaps I ought to do the same with my old Macintosh SE which I have sitting around in my room. Then again, I lack the computer knowledge to try it for myself, probably won't be able to find all the parts I need, and if perchance my old Mac SE does still work, the stuff on the hard drive is stuff which probably should be saved for various reasons.
Then again, I don't think it'll ever work again since my friend left it outside for one cold and drizzly night after I let him borrow it. Very irrisponsible of him. I ought to try it out sometime and see if it still works, and hope it don't blow up in my face or something. . .
