    Pretty good ad for "we have more Macs in the house... come in and steal them!".

    Still cool though

    Either that, or defaced by nearby deadbeats (or it would in my area, anyway). But as marc said, its also a good invitation for burglars...

    Hmm I have a spare G5 case (with slight damage) - could make a cool project but like previously stated I would be worried it'd get nabbed for the aluminium!

    worse if it is made of nickel . The scrap dealers would be knocking on your door 24/7 for a quick deal
