A month ago I decided to gut an Apple PowerMac G5 that was long broken. Since my profession is being an Apple Macintosh Computer Consultant, I often have dead or old Macs hanging around. Any of the Macintosh towers post 2004 will look like this so even a MacPro will work. They are all aluminum so they won’t rust.
The PowerMac tower enclosure is simply beautiful and matches the Airstream very well. I didn’t know what to do with it at first but then after I went through the effort I suddenly realized that it could make a great storage locker for all those dirty parts like the greasy hitch, the wheel chucks, the hitch lock, the hitch stand and the hitch stand blocks. All this stuff is dirty, greasy, full of spiders and ants and I no longer wanted them in the car.
So here it is: Looks great, holds all I need and acts as a primary tier for holding your drinks. The secondary tier (the propane enclosure) is for empty bottles.
a thing of beauty….great job!
Ha ha! Fantastic idea. How did you mount it?
The bottom of the G5 enclosure has 4 screw holes in it. I bolted two boards to the bottom of the G5 with two straps between the boards and the G5. Then I sat the G5 on the battery housing and ran the ratchet straps around the frame the battery sits on.
It is very solid but I hope to come up with something even more permanent in the future. I just wanted to see how well it works and I love having the extra storage.
*Brilliant.*
