Recycling your iMac as lamp.

Written by Chris Tangora

Wednesday, 09 July 2008

The early iMacs are icons of the computer industry. They broke new ground in giving computers colors and "flavors" to choose from. While their meager MHz CPU's can even come close to touching modern day machines, they are still easily recognizable by almost anybody who has been around computers for the past 10 years.

So what to do with the old iMacs that are dying off? Graeme Sheridan decided to make use of his by turning it into a floor lamp. A word of caution before you read on. The old iMacs are CRT displays. The wires inside can carry a DEADLY amount of electricity, and the tubes can implode if not handled properly. Do not remove the CRT unless you are trained in CRT handling. MacMod does NOT suggest you remove your CRT yourself.

With that said, click here to go to his mod in our misc. mod section and see how he did it.

	If you released a mod and I didn't catch it, shoot me a note and I'll gladly post them. Promoting MacMod users is always a high priority, so it is completely accidental if I missed yours and I apologize for that. Best way to reach us is through the "contact" section. Click on "chris tangora" (me) to reach me directly, or submit it as a news item and we'll get your mods posted up. Registered

	Hrm, still can't get to it. Because I'm a "noob" maybe? What I mean is, I've written two mods myself. I'm curious what to do to get them posted. Registered

	Perhaps people are waiting for the Great Mod Challenge 2008 to release their mods? The link works as far as I can see. Can you try it again? Registered

	Neat idea. However, I clicked the link to the mod and I get an "unauthorized to view this resource." Also, I see the news keeps being updated, but why aren't there any mods in recent months? Registered
