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. ;-)
