New Art?

I recently got a new motherboard for one of my computers, and faced a simple dilemma - what to do with the old motherboard? It was a nice Micronics 386 motherboard, and while it worked, it wasn't worth anything.

Finally, I decided to store it on the wall, like a painting. It wasn't going to do me any good in some box, or in the trash. After having it up on the wall for a while I am really glad I put it there. When the light hits it right it looks really like a work of art. Even when it is dark in my room it is interesting to examine. The old motherboards are much more complex than the newer ones, so there are lots of parts to look at, and every now and then I stop for a minute or two and study some part that I haven't looked at before.

When my 386 motherboard was new it cost much more than any other piece of art on my wall. So now in a way it is the most expensive artwork I own. Yes, I think the motherboard has truly become a work of art. I want to buy another new motherboard now, mostly so I can put another one of my old (currently in use) motherboards on the wall.
