We here at Pingdom clearly belong to the “geek category” of people here on Earth. We love computers and technology, and almost anything related to that. Even when the computers have been broken down and recycled, they can provide gratification, as shown by the pictures you see below.
This is a collection of art (and cool things that may or may not be art, but who are we to judge?) made with computer parts. It’s quite an eclectic mix from all around the world. We hope you’ll enjoy these 20 pictures of “computer part art.”
Some people use guard dogs, others use…
Apparently this behemoth is made almost entirely from spare computer parts.

A flower pot?
It’s either that (a flower pot) or a table with… eggs…? Eggs and chips? To be honest, we really, really don’t know.
