An Apple Mailbox -- A REAL Mailbox

by , 3:25 PM EDT, September 28th, 2007

An alert photographer caught a picture of an Apple PowerMac G4 turned into an actual mailbox and posted it at Geekologie on Thursday.

A former PowerMac G4 user found a great way to get additional life from the old G4. It was turned into a real mailbox complete with a street number and front access door.

Without any power supplied, however, it's not going to announce "You've got mail!" any time soon, but it looks cool. Perhaps the side panel access opening ring is for packages.

Here's a link to the Apple mail box.

We first mentioned it back in May but it's been on Flickr since February. Here's the original:

Cool. I just found it myself and thought it would be nice wrapup for a Friday afternoon.
