I just bought 7 spoilt apple pro mouse from ebay. 5 of them are the original first generation black color ones while the other 2 are white in color.

When these mice were released in 2000, the design was just so beautiful. An elegant elliptical shape made of clear acrylic with a translucent black inner piece that emitted a little glow of red through the apple logo.
So what am I going to do with them? Well, a quick search on google revealed a mod turning the mouse into a belt buckle. Another person made a soap dish. There were a few sites about repairing it.
Possible ideas for now include:
A. Remove the guts and replace with a generic wireless mouse internals.
B. Turn it into a torch light similar to those ‘pop’ lights.
C. Make a frame to hold all 7 mice to create a bedside lamp powered through a usb hub.
D. Any other ideas?
Update:
One white mice has been nursed back to health exhibiting a healthy red glow.
Another possibility for the remaining six was to modify the transparent shell to fit a mighty mouse. Anyone have a dead mighty mouse available for dissection?
