PowerBook G4 Titanium inelegantly modded into desktop

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]

As a Snapple fanboy, I approve of this man's taste in beverages.

Rofl

[Ryan Trevisol @ Jan 5th 2009 10:08AM]

They still make snapple?

The name Bibin featured on two mods of questionable value within the span of a week? How strange.

What do they say? I really don't know! I don't think I really care though.

[digitallysick @ Jan 5th 2009 4:27AM]

Maybe he can mod that 1980 model beige land line phone next haha

[livingdots @ Jan 5th 2009 4:28AM]

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.

[PW @ Jan 5th 2009 5:08AM]

Small CRTs are where Wiis belong. :-p

Nintendo fanboy much?! ... where's the virtual boy?

[Uncontrol @ Jan 5th 2009 4:51AM]

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

[bespinluke @ Jan 5th 2009 10:20AM]

man, that guy looks like a real schmuck!

[bespinluke @ Jan 5th 2009 10:21AM]

[liv @ Jan 5th 2009 1:41PM]

thanks for sharing you thoughts...twice...

do you see the irony?

[cwright @ Jan 5th 2009 5:55AM]

1984 called and they want their phone back.

[EricC @ Jan 5th 2009 11:06AM]

Wait...how did they call if they don't have their phone? Your claim is dubious at best.

[Hotrod @ Jan 5th 2009 8:16AM]

How does someone live like that?

[Arkenklo @ Jan 6th 2009 12:36PM]

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.

[4honor @ Jan 5th 2009 9:24AM]

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...

[loocas @ Jan 5th 2009 9:34AM]

Man, not all artists are pigs!

I for one hate mess.

[listchristee @ Jan 5th 2009 9:55AM]

I have the same speakers. I bought them at Goodwill for $2.99. No joke!

[thethirdmoose @ Jan 5th 2009 10:00AM]

This is like being given lemons and making crappy lemons.

[loocas @ Jan 5th 2009 10:19AM]

More like buying lemons for the price of passionfruits and turning it into turd.

[strider_mt2k @ Jan 5th 2009 11:24AM]

Looks like it smells like wet funk in there.

You know what I mean.

[bo duke @ Jan 5th 2009 11:54AM]

dude should clean his desk (and house) prior to sharing. just a thought.

[Jack_Barron @ Jan 5th 2009 7:58PM]

I absolutely friggin' love poverty tech. This guy's cheapskate-fu looks strong.
