    You could use it for decorative lawn art or a nice paper weight. You could put it on an end-table for a conversation piece. Make it into a time capsule … Humm I ran out of ideas.

    They can run OS X.

    It would make a nice little secure web server. It's not too hard to replace the hard drive in them. (My mom's has a 40gb hd and 768mb ram and she still uses it.)

    Also, with a phat hard drive it could be a media server.

    Or, a fish tank......

    Where are you from in the US? There's a great organization in Portland Oregon called FreeGeek that could use them. (www.freegeek.org)

    Huge paperweights, door stops, err, trash/litter bins, Book/DVD/VHS ends, murder weapon, hum, could make an interesting episode of the US series CSI :D Man gets killed after MAC gets droped on head :thumb: They find the guy responsible for dropping it, heh.
