Open it up, remove the CRT (but store it) and place a small laptop or netbook inside. (or a digital photo frame). That'll mean that it'll still work when you finally feel like using it, but it'll also look cool just sitting there. Or you could display the pictures in monochrome. I had some screensaver on my MacClassic that did that, but my classic is in storage so I can't check right now. You could see if After Dark has one.
