The Actual Flowerpot

Perhaps it's just as well that I couldn't find one of those ethnic real earthenware flowerpots as I wouldn't have any idea how to drill it. They were all the wrong size, so the CPU would either hang over the edges or fall down inside.

This plastic flowerpot wasn't easy to find, either. It was the last one of its kind in my local Lowe's. What makes this flowerpot work is the wide lip on the top and the correct size - it's 11 inches outside diameter.

Because it's pretty much perfect just the way it is, the only mod is to drill a larger hole in the bottom for airflow.
