Now *this* is how to refettle a Cube.

The iMac casings are quite cute too.

I think I'd describe them as gloriously hideous.

I think I'm missing something. A Cube?

As for the rest of it... Nice try, but jeez, it's horrible. I like
antique furniture, buy it a lot because it's better and cheaper than new
stuff ('20s and '30s my favourite but late 19th is really good too) but
these are so wrong that they are wronger than a wrong thing.

Perfectly okay as a joke, of course, if you have the money for that kind
of joke.

The box on the right of the top and bottom pics, with "The Apple
Company Gearless Calculating Device" written on, is a G4 Cube.

S'right. Taking apart proper antique furnishings to make comedy
casings for iMacs would be rather crazy, so I'm not averse to faux in
this situation.

Wow.

Beyond awful; it's genuinely awesome.
