A new DIY aquarium has been released by Fancy, transforming old, sluggish Mac desktop computers into humble fish abodes.
The three-gallon tank provides a generous amount of space for pet fish, and can be filled with all manner of fishy accessories, from seaweed to blue-green gravel. The computer's monitor screen has been replaced by a thick plate of glass, allowing fish to sunbathe a little, while also giving their owners the chance to watch them swim about.
The iMacquarium comes with an on/off light switch, as well as a built-in filter, making it a fully functioning aquarium that will also serve as a fun, decorative piece.
As stated by Fancy, the iMacquarium is a great conversation starter, and would look perfect in every environment, from a personalized bedroom to a laid-back office space.
