In our day in age where living space is a luxury (yes, big city dwellers, we're talking about you), it's healthy to have some creative spirit to hunt for areas in the home that can double in functionality. So, can you guess where this 27-inch iMac lives?
Linus Ekenstam from Falkenberg, Sweden shows us how a little bit of imagination can turn a broken radiator near a window into a full-on public standing PC station. Using a doctor's stool and the existing built-in shelf above the radiator, the iMac immediately finds a comfortable stable home facing away from direct sunlight (to avoid glare) and is warmed up by a few decorous items such as a candle and basket for office items.
And adding a comfortable mouse pad doesn't hurt either! Kinda makes us wish we had a windowsill to place our iMac on so we could stop dragging our laptop everywhere around the house.
Got a slick setup you wish to share with the Unplggd community? Tag it "unplggd" on Flickr or add it to our uber awesome Flickr group!

Putting your expensive electronics directly over a heating source is one way to reduce it's useful life. I think a candle and basket are less warming than that radiator.
If the radiator doesn't work, then take it out. If it does then your computer will not work efficiently.
While it looks cool, I can't imagine using that computer for any period of time from late November-February when the heat is cranking.
You'll have to clean your, umm, nether-regions after every check of the email.
Plus the potential burn.
It does say broken radiator
Yeah if you read the post it says BROKEN radiator. And I'd leave it too, it adds visual interest to a nook that would really just be a vacant hole without it. Love the stool, though it might not be the most comfortable seat for more than a few minutes.
