Instructibles has a great article about turning an old CRT monitor into a fish tank.

“Talk about a great screen saver! I’ve been wanting to do this build for a while now. Just about every time I see and old CRT computer monitor by the side of the road on trash day I think to myself …that would sure make a cool looking fish tank. So here is my first attempt at turning and old computer monitor into a fish tank.”

    People have been doing this with the all-in-one iMacs for years. Sounds like a fun project, though, and tearing up my old monitor would break my heart quite a bit less than tearing up my DV 400.

    That said, the iMacquarium is still better eye-candy.

    Cool… and even better is the fact that it’s an old Packard Bell monitor! My first computer was a Packard Hell. What ever happened to them?
