There is a computer service about 50 miles from me that reconditions usable computers and donates or disposes of them in an state approved manner. I recycle mine.

The photo though; its a masterpiece. I have a pretty blue one that could be used as a planter. Thanks for the idea.

I think this is really something unimaginable and interesting to know.

Looks great at same time and something different that can enhanced the look of backyard or anywhere we placed it.
