False Siamensis

I had this fish is my tank for a few years now, and always thought it was a Flying Fox. Today somebody told me that is is actually a False Siamensis. Other names for it is Siamese Stone Lapping fish or Combodian Logsucker. It's Latin name is Garra taeniata or Garra cambodgiensis. There's some confusion about it's true identity and is often mistaken for a Siamese Algae Eater.

Apple g5 case conversion complete.

I call this my Transvestite PC. A PC dressed up as a Mac.

I purchased the broken computer from a guy for a good deal. Only the CPU, Motherboard and PSU were broken.

So I started by taking the computer apart and scavenging parts from it. After a few weeks I got my aluminium and started to work. It was surprisingly hard to do a decent job on the interior (which is the only place I will be working BTW).

I made a PSU chamber, fan bracket, motherboard tray and cable management panel. The case is only temporary though because Proxima will start soon. I made it very non-user friendly as all the parts needs to be taken out in order to reach the PSU.

But this doesn't bother me.

I didn't make an effort to install a decent power switch and USB ports, because, again, the case is only temporary. Once it is out of use I will do this.

Here is some quick pictures I took of the final product:
