Sculpturize my Mac

[prog]

So I have this old Mac Classic II that I trashpicked during the summer. It's been sitting on or around the monolith in the living room since then, and since the living room has gotten less cluttered its presence is now more obvious. It's quite handsome, but I would like to have it do something more than merely sit there.

I would like to clean up its guts so that it stops making a horrid whining noise when activated - I am hoping it's a gunky fan and not a about-to-fail hard drive - and then make some sort of permanent low-key digital art installation out of it. That is, have it run a program of some sort that is amusing to look at, and is perhaps even interactive, something for guests to fiddle with.

I would rather not make it into an aquarium. That's too 1997 for me. I suppose I could do it anyway and be doubly retro, but nah.

Any ideas? Assume that I am unwilling to write any code. I suppose in theory I could install MacPerl on it, but, shudder. Am I hoping too much to hope that someone somewhere has not only already created such a program, but has made it publicly available?
