Here are some pics of Cash's Franken-iMac (frank-in-iMac) that he doesn't want us to see. Now I know why he never posted any pics of his creation. Hope this brings a big smile to the faces of DVSE users.

Get an iSub to work with your iMac and then I'll be impressed, Cash

Oh yeah, but will that 126% speed boost from Powerlogix give you improved speakers, AirPort and iSub support, dual-USB busses, DVD, FireWire, the cool looking Graphite case, and let your computer run as cool and quite as a DVSE? Oh no...

A: The speakers in iMacs suck. I dont care if you have an iSub of death, or whatever. The fact remains they're about 2 inches big, (lil smaller I think) and they suck.
B. Airport? Bah. No thank you. I'd rather have a wire. Why? Because my iMac isnt moving. Its sitting on a desk.
C. iSub? cool looking, but cant compare to some REAL speakers. Maybe someone will get it to work someday too. Hehe. Anyone wanna lend me one? I could do it... Im positive. Speakers, like earth girls, are easy...
D. DVD? If you had a vid out it'd be worth it, but watching movies on 15" screen isnt that great.
E. Firewire? >shrugs< I dont do A/V stuff, so you have me there... but... then again, I dont use it.
F. Graphite case? Trust me. In two weeks you'll wish your computer looked as cool as mine. >
G. Cool and quiet? Dunno. I have a copper chip now.. soo....

Stogieman, all of your arguments hold up well, except for the sound system of the new iMacs. I doubt 2 tiny little speakers and a 99$ dollar smallish subwoofer (though it may look cool) can match the 10W speakers and 80W sub I have for less than half the cost of just the iSub(on my 333 iMac). But Firewire (oh yeah) man i wish i had that, damn this slow external USB hard drive to hell!!

I never said it could match up to 10W speakers and 80W sub. I merely stated that it was an improvement over 1st gen. iMac speakers. And don't let the size of the iSub fool you. Cranking up the bass really vibrates the floor boards and makes UT sound 10x better. Sometimes I kinda feel sorry for my neighbor down stairs.
