So You Wanna Build a Macquarium

Who needs a screen saver when you can have real fish in your old Mac?

Perhaps nothing else he's done has brought Andy Ihnatko quite the same fame and notoriety as inventing the Macquarium -- a compact Mac gutted and turned into a fishbowl. Following are links to online resources for those interested in converting Macs to Macquaria.

The original Macquarium design is known to work in a Mac 128, 512, Plus, SE, or SE/30 case. (Please, don't even think of converting a functional Mac!) It is probable it will also work in a Classic or Classic II case.

Note that this conversion will void any warranty on your computer. ;-)

• The Original Macquarium (stuffed Microsoft Word file)
• The Original Macquarium, Volume 4, Andy Ihnatko (also available on a Finnish server)
• Make a Macquarium, Andy Ihnatko (on JAG's site)
• Alpine School District, Lindon, Utah, some very nice photos
• The Macquarium, includes photo
• Matt's MacQuarium Page, includes construction photos
• CW's MacQuarium, nice large photo
• Tom's Macquarium, another nice photo
• Nick's Fish, most interesting refinished cases!

• The MacQuarium and other stuff you could easily live without knowing
• Multimedia Teaching and Learning Center, includes slide show
• JBIC Fish Cam
