US Flag Apple Cube computer (2001)
In 2000, the ever fashionable Apple Computer Incorporated produced a computer called “Cube”, where it is a high-fashion statement computer encompassing modern-geometrical-art-form, where the whole computer is hosted in a transparent high-tech acrylic glass, seemingly suspended in air. Among its bleeding-edge techs is its fanlessness. That is, this machine does not hum. (the big grill at the top vents hot air.)
Some Apple fan, William Rivas, a computer buff, in 2001-10 (after 9-11), took a step further and disassembled and reassembled it into a Stars'n'Stripes spangled Cube.

I simply downloaded the flag from macdesktops.com "New Glory", printed it out, cut and tape. (just taped it to the inner liner with transparent tape.) [I asked for more details and he wrote] I removed the inner shell of the Cube which is held in place by phillips and torx #8 screws. [Note - A T9 driver fits the screws on my G4 Cube case far better-Mike] please look at the attached photos that show the removed inner shell with the Flag print tapped on. Other photo shows the outer shell next to the completed inner shell. The res [of the New Glory image] was 1280x1024 but made to fit on a 8.5x11" paper William Rivas " Although I didn't apply the image to the top, I did do the sides on a spare (extra) G4 Cube housing I had. Here's a photo of the results-Mike:
