Somebody had to do it. It looks pretty new, too, judging by the protective vinyl on the front.

<wishful_thinking>
Maybe they took the G4 out and rack mounted it or something. And since "iksari" or whatever, loves Macs so much, he got to take the case home. Rather than look at a nasty $19 PC case, he put the guts in the G4's shell..

Here's a babelfish translation:

(It seems that UBB doesn't like the wacky url produced by babelfish, and babelfish doesn't like to have a page linked to from the outside)

the fastest computer in a g4 tower... is a g4!

clock speed does not equal speed. it sickens me that most ppl think that it does.

Sine you surprise me, i would think you have seen enough benchs out there that show the Athlon is faster than the G4 (clock to clock its not, but the fact that it operates at a faster rate makes up for it), unless speed is only a few select Photoshop filters.

Like it or not Clock speed does have some affect on speed or else computers would never gain Mhz or Ghz. say all affect no, a loud voice in it though , yes.
