I really wanted to make a fish tank out of one or both of my dead Studio Displays. Then I was forced to move to a smaller place and off to the dump they went with the beat up shells os a IIc and IIe, two beat up ImageWriters, and like six monochrome Apple IIgs monitors. Wish I could have kept the IIgs monitors, but they were the more beat up and faded ones. Still have quite a few left, and their color cousins at least; just feel bad trashing working Apple hardware.

A little off topic, but I wanted to toss out the idea of turning the shell of the Studio Display into something else. Maybe mount an LCD and build a custom all-in-one computer? Maybe we need to get Trash80 on this... :approve:

If it's being sent to the dump I always thought it'd be cool to cut out the translucent Apples from the side and put them in a window for the sun to shine through. Then you get the fun of taking a saw to electronics AND making something new!

(Or if you feel comfortable with high voltage components you could attempt to repair it. I didn't feel that brave, which is why mine are in the big computer lab in the sky...)
