So, I have an x64 computer that is finished except for a few minor issues I'm still working out before I replace this one with that one. However, this PC I'm using right now is a perfectly good computer and is quite up to date. It's a shame to put it in storage when it's nowhere near old enough to be considered obsolete. However, after my new one is set up, I will have to do something with it as I can't just have it laying around my room.
So, I figured it would be a good opportunity to experiment with a case mod. my idea is to take household item or appliance, gut it, and make a computer out of it. I'm looking for ideas.

I'm considering using:
An old Toaster
A broken microwave
A broken TV
Perhaps an NES/ SNES case
A VCR

Does anyone else have any ideas for a neat case? NOTE: I'm not looking for stuff like building my own case from scratch, modding an existing PC case, etc...
