We're all for taking lemons and making lemonade, but at least clean up the mess before you showcase it to the world. All kidding aside (sort of...), Sir Bibin and Nick Lee found something better to do with their jacked up PowerBook G4 Titanium than fetch a few pennies on eBay. When the hinges finally cracked, they decided to just fold 'er on over, epoxy a pair of totally lackluster speakers on the side and add a wired Apple keyboard in to create a makeshift PowerMac (er, iMac, we suppose). Truthfully, we'd be way more into this if not for that very apparent spitball and the circa 1991 telephone cluttering up the masterpiece, but you know what they say about an artist and his / her studio.
[Thanks,
Michael and Nick]

Haaaaa the joy of non glossy screens!!
As a Snapple fanboy, I approve of this man's taste in beverages.
Rofl
They still make snapple?
The name Bibin featured on two mods of questionable value within the span of a week? How strange.
The other mod:

Yep... same television, same scotch tape dispenser, same guy.

What do they say? I really don't know! I don't think I really care though.
This guy should just clean up, get a job, and buy new hardware instead of making lame mods of antique shit...
They can't be playing Wii on THAT TV.
Small CRTs are where Wiis belong. :-p
Maybe he can mod that 1980 model beige land line phone next haha
Nintendo fanboy much?! ... where's the virtual boy?
for all engadget commenters who think that all of us mac owners are latte-sipping fashionista elitists, i give you snapple desk stains and speakers glued to a broken laptop and overall a disgusting existence
man, that guy looks like a real schmuck!
man, that guy looks like a real schmuck!
thanks for sharing you thoughts...twice...
do you see the irony?
1984 called and they want their phone back.
Wait...how did they call if they don't have their phone? Your claim is dubious at best.
How does someone live like that?
That honestly looks like my room, soldering-iron, crisps, random computers (-parts). Except I don't use macs. I use real computers, with Linux on them.
Wow, those are the old monitor mounting speakers that came with Compaq computers! I still a pair of them in my closet! Ahh the memories...
Man, not all artists are pigs!
I for one hate mess.
I have the same speakers. I bought them at Goodwill for $2.99. No joke!
This is like being given lemons and making crappy lemons.
More like buying lemons for the price of passionfruits and turning it into turd.
Looks like it smells like wet funk in there.
You know what I mean.
dude should clean his desk (and house) prior to sharing. just a thought.
I absolutely friggin' love poverty tech. This guy's cheapskate-fu looks strong.
