Mac-O-Lantern: fully functional Mac inside a real pumpkin
Tuesday, October 31, 2006 - 03:45 PM EST
Over at the University of Arkansas computer store, they've made a Mac-O-Lantern for Halloween.
Oh, BTW, Happy Halloween!
The beauty of the functional and organic pumpkin case mod is its fleeting existence. the coolest thing about this project is the fact that such an extraordinary amount of precious time was squandered on a fruitless(!) pursuit. There are better case mods out there, and there are sweeter jack-o-lanterns. We split the difference.
Official Mac-O-Lantern specs:
• 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo
• 512MB 667 DDR2 SDRAM - 2x256
• 80GB Serial ATA drive
• SuperDrive 8x (DVD+R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
• Mac OS X - U.S. English
• 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo
• Intel GMA 950 graphics
• Accessory kit
Mac-O-Lantern comes complete with Logitech camera "eyes," the audio output is routed through the speaker "mouth," and the cooling fan "breathes" out of the nose:

What stupid things people will do, just because they can.
Bet the Mac-O-Lantern will really start to stink of rotting pumpkin in no time.
