Geek Shadow Box

I had accumulated a pile of computer parts and related ephemera, so I thought I would make a shadow box with some of it but waited a while to do it.  When I had a request for one, I personalized it somewhat.  Here is the result (outside the frame for photo clarity)
Ornery wrote a little program for me that says happy birthday in geek-ese. :)  Most of the parts are from a keyboard I dismantled, but my daughter gave me the door hanger and CD.  I printed the program out on an old piece of Logarithmic graph paper I scavenged from one of Ornery's files.  There is a clear plastic overlay on top of the paper that is the schematic for a keyboard. The short section of pin plug, wires and the circuit board are all parts of a keyboard I bought in Florida at a resale shop.

The buyer was very happy with the finished product, and that is the important thing (but I thought it was cute as well!)
