Athlon in a G4 case! Horrifying ain't it? Thought the Mac mods would get a shock outta this...

This is sacrilege! I don't care much for the appropriation of graphics from Apple's site either. This would be like someone handing you a Guiness bottle filled with Bud Light! Get a Rope!

It would be funny to take that to a local Mac shop and say "This G4 is broken, could you take a look at it?"

Evil.

It'd be even cooler to be getting 160fps on a Q3 timedemo in front of your PC friends.... then they'd be like "dude, a mac getting good game performance? It must be broken..."

I saw the specs and i could see you need 3 fans of various sizes to cool this beast so it is another proof that our genuine PM G4 are really cool!

Thanks for the link Artman. That's exactly what I've been looking for.

Now if I can only figure out where to get the cases down-under.

Just let me get my pitchfork first...

a piece of sh*t in any box smells just as bad. it is kinda of amusing though, i do admit. why someone would waste their money on this i have no idea.

i remember seeing on the net somewhere where a guy made a portable atari 2600. that was pretty cool

RAzaRazor · Feb 1, 2001, 12:38 PM

This is Scary...

Someone should have told the guy that the motherboard is mounted to the door of the case. The mutilation is quite grotesque. I need to go cry now...

What's really funny is the size of the fan in the back. Sucker's gotta be strapped down or it'll start to hover.

On the plus side. you can cook your frozen dinners by leving them on top for ten minutes. . .

ok. i know i said a few posts ago on this thread that i thought it was amusing, but right now it makes me mad.

it figures that the only thing about mac that would appeal to this moron is the exterior aesthetics instead of the functionality. dammit.

AlbertWu · Feb 2, 2001, 11:41 PM

What did he do to the back?! As someone said earlier, the motherb oard is attatched to the door, not shoved in behind the drives...

Eek.

lol
the guy was so stupid he didn't even realize the True beauty of the case design! what a superficial moron! he's probably had "aesthetic" plastic surgery fifty times, and to have his brain replaced with a flower!

I think i'll buy a generic full tower case, put a g4 in it, install OSX, then tell my friends I was selected for the 'OSX on Intel beta program'.

Portable Atari 2600? You don't say?

Just as bad as these people who like OSX cause its pretty

I don't mind what the guy did, get over it. Personally I woudln't do it simply cause I don't care what it looks like. He screwed himself... he's now got less expandability and everything than what he could have in a maxi tower... oh well, the majority of the worlds population are either idiots or people with no common sense...
