What exactly is going on in that picture? It looks like a Lite-Brite or something.

That's an indoor shot with no flash but using incandescent, fluorescent and daylight. The camera takes very accurate indoor exposures. The case is all translucent plastic and it really is a very nice color scheme, especially in the right light. It is a classic style for sure. I had to glue the entire case together with "Seals All" special plastic glue, which works fast and strong on acrylic plastic. Once you take out the guts, there is nothing to screw the parts together with any more. Even the 1/4" mesh galvanized wire mesh on the front was glued on from the inside. The mesh is imbedded in the glue and very strong now. It’s not coming out again. I made a few clear acrylic covers to block the bigger holes. The trick is to make the whole case solid like an eggshell or it would eventually crack and break. That plastic is strong but thin. Only the two hatches on the back and bottom can open. You could easily make the hole in the bottom a little bigger and use it to transport a cat or small dog. There is plenty of built in ventilation.

Here is the back and Bottom.http://www.hawaiiislandviews.com/apixs/imaccageback.jpg

I see you've kept the mouse and keyboard. Is that so you can shock your lizard if you get bored?

Cool carrying case. I'm really envious of you having a Jacksons, they are really cool animals. Had a couple of Senegals myself for some time.:t

Nevermind all the normal practical uses...

I think there are plans out there for converting iMacs into fish bowls. I know there are plans for the old Mac Plus's. :D

It will never hold water. There are lot of vent holes in the case.

For $300, maybe I should make some plugs. :D
