At the rate i'm going i'm never gonna get it done. Have to get creative now. But i suppose i'll explain.

My plan is to create a computer using that fish tank, you take all the parts out of the computer (motherboard, power supply etc...) and put them in the fish tank. Then its filled with mineral oil, everything submerged. Mineral oil is clear and looks like water. Add some aquarium rocks, bubbler, some lights and you've got an aquarium computer instead of a boring grey box for a computer, 100% functional
