040107: Sunbeam toaster and iMac 233MHz Mod
Mod by Lance Nutter
Are you really tired every morning and have trouble getting your lazy-self outta of bed? Well then, I have a Mac mod that the Doc., err, Master Mac Mod Chef Lance Nutter has cooked up for you! Introducing - i-Toast!
Lets see what's on the menu ;)

Lance took one broken Sunbeam Toaster...

Mixed in some tasty iMac 233MHz internals and breakfast will never be the same again!

i-Toast (a wonderful meal in itself), the specs:
- Broken Sunbeam toaster that really fries the bacon now.
- iMac 233 internals w/blown monitor, outta the oven and into the frying pan I say.
- Front port access, wow, gotta love that! Get your dirty minds outta the gutter, sheesh!
- A gargantuan 4 GB hard drive that slathers yer biscuits with gravy.
- Massive 160 MB of RAM so hot it melts butter.
- Optical dive pops media out the top just like toast :D and it's always "just right" brown too.
- i-Toast is ground fresh with Jaguar 10.2.8, mmm I smell the coffee already.
- Power supply is a slightly modded ATX model to keep the toast timer working smoothly, i.e. power down and start up.
- i-Toast OJ is served fresh on the internet and even chums it up with a PC, i.e. networked.
- Lance even modded the Mac OS X removing universal languages and killing the shadow effects for some extra performance jelly and jam bonus points, very nice ;)
- i-Toast boots up every morning on it's own with the rooster crowing to start everyones day off bright and early.
RISCX'S NOTES
Lance's wife, Sheri, thinks her hubby is a lil crazy with this iMac/Toaster mod but confesses she loves her cool new i-Toast, it always starts the day off just right :)
Yes Sheri you are correct, all modders are indeed a lil crazy, gotta love 'em though ;)
I think the i-Toast is a perfect Mac mod of taking two obsolete/broken objects and morphing them into something functional, unique and and even a little controversial. Would love to see Lance's friends and family visiting over his house and commenting, "So... Lance, man, you must really like toast a lot to have a toaster in your office." "Lance, every-time I try to make some toast a CD pops out of the toaster, you really hate the Back-Street-Boys don't you?"
A truly amazing Mac mod, I'll take two to go Lance, excellent job!
