Click on the link below to see what happens when an Atari 1030 (300 baud) modem is combined with an Apple Airport Express with a bad power supply. The end result is a strange looking wireless router/streaming client/print server [🙂] ]'>

Background: The Airport Express was just 3 years old when it died suddenly - which is a lot less time than my Atari equipment worked. After I googled this problem, I determined this wasn't an uncommon problem and could be fixed cheaply - compared to buying a refurbished Airport Express for $79.
I choose the Atari 1030 modem case because it was plastic (didn't want to block the built-in WiFi antenna), it was the right size and according to ebay it was worth less than $5. If you look closely at the inside layout picture, the Airport Express is carefully wedged into the case on all four sides and there was no need to mechanically fasten the Airport Express.
This may be the only Atari Apple Airport Express in existence

Nice. You should submit to hack a day or apple fritter.
