I have a PM G5 and my box was ruined while it was stored in my garage. Anyone know where/if I can get a replacement box?

Call applecare. While I sort of doubt they'll sell you one, I know that the retail box does have a service part number, so it's probably technically possible.

You stored your G5 in the garage?

Oh, wait... the other sort of box?
What the nerd community most often fail to realize is that all features aren't equal. A well implemented and well integrated feature in a convenient interface is worth way more than the same feature implemented crappy, or accessed through a annoying interface.

The Applecare and Apple Store ideas are good ones.

It is important to be able to get one with the styrophoam for shipping and moving. So "making one" ain't a good idea.

I would sell you mine for the price of shipping it, but I need to keep it .
