Hi,

Is there any stand out there to raise the Power Mac G5 up about 4-6 inches?

Thanks.

Well I'd like the beautiful G5 to stand on something somewhat nice looking.

I made this sweet stand for my G5, it's made of wood, which I cut, sanded and spray painted with a glossy grey, and then put a special plastic coating on it to make it last a long time.

But the G5 Skate seems a little classier.

That sounds good...do you just have 2 blocks for each foot or one big plank for both?

His G5 wasn't cheap either! but atleast that skate seems to be handy for wheeling about.
I also quite like the roof they have advertised. Makes your G5 kind of unique in a way?
