As the story goes, Bart Reardon ( @bartreardon ) was given a broken MacBook Air.

Bart had seen the motherboard for the MacBook Air way back when Steve Jobs first held it up at the announcement keynote and thought it should fit in one of those old white plastic Apple keyboards. Now he had his chance to find out!

You can follow Bart’s progress on his blog.

Tell me; is this Mac awesomeness? Would you dig a Mac/Keyboard combo? Leave a comment and we’ll chat.
