Truly relevant to AW isn't it?

A few years ago, my father made a tragic mistake and purchased an iMac for
$800. It's never worked properly - EVER. So, last night at about 11:30PM, I
declared it deceased (It no longer even attempts to boot - even with an
external monitor). So I gutted the thing, pulled out the CRT and all the
electronics and only broke two minor plastic pieces - the case holds
together excellently without them, and you can't see them. By 1:30AM,
Apple's greatest engineering blunder was totally defeated. And I laughed.
Electrical tape and masking tape were actually present - a highly
professional job.

So, with all that taken care of, the next step is to try desperately to
recoup some of the $800 purchase price. I pulled approximately $250 worth of
working hardware out of it, plus some cool looking, but totally useless
widgets. Would anyone be willing to purchase a blue iMac fishtank on eBay
for a fairly low price - starting bid would be the cost of the lexan and
waterproofing materials, plus about $5. Shipping would be low (Compared to a
full iMac), as all the metal and the hefty CRT and non-structural metal
panels have been removed, and since the lexan is plastic - not glass,
special packing isn't neccessary.

I'm only going to do this if someone, somewhere expresses some interest in
buying it from me.
