Thats nuts man--a dual G5, and he scrapped it because he didnt like Macs? Screw that, for a machine like that, learn to like them.

what a waste.... seems like he'd also get a ferarri and change the engine to a chevy since he likes the sound it makes better.

hehehe I g2g show this to my apple friend... if I was an apple fan I'd be sick, but my only thought is that maybe he should've installed SuSe.
I hope his parents never find out though... I mean, jeez, the kid just completely overhauled an entire machine. The G5 case is just a facade right now... Still... cool case. ![]()

Blasphemy! I like my Dell, but a G5, oooooohhggggrrghh !!! I was going to call him a name, but since he gave the parts to his friend I'll just call it his loss for being a dumbass...Ooops, I couldn't help it.
I'd still take my old Apple (733mhz. G4) over my new Dell (1.5 ghz. Pentium M) any day, hands down. Why? The OS. I can use both, and to me the Apple is WAY easier to use. File names and locations actually tell you what the file IS..No shit! *rambling* OSX starts up quicker too, even on a slower processor. I could go on, but I crossed into a rant..(The images were too graphic for my sensitive eyes. I have been scarred for life.) |

It's nice to see PC users upset at what he did. Usually just Mac users would get upset.
Man, what a waste. He probably also got a BMW for his 16 birthday and trashed it 3 months later after a night of drinking. We've got people on this board who can barely afford a $300 PC and he destroyed a $3000 box. IT'S CALLED "RETURN TO APPLE STORE FOR CREDIT" AND THEN BUY YOUR DELL Moron.

Makes me sick. Both at the sheer waste of money here, as well as as a Mac user. What a waste, what a complete and utter waste..."whaaaah I wanted a Dell for xmas so I'll waste my parents' money they spent on it," as well as likely their money again to gut it and put PC parts in it. It just has spoiled brat written all over it. Angers me to no end.

Re: TFP G5 Forum I didn't read all the replies, but, I would really like to add a G5 to my little home network. All my stuff is geared toward dos/msoft. I run one Pentium (my Thinkpad), two AMD's (3000 and 3200), but with an open mind, that does not want to get involved in open source, I think the display model G5 at the 'puter store was kick ass! It had a hefty price tag, was quiet, fast, and clean looking. I just can't see changing all my stuff for that. I have quiet, clean, fast computers now. I would like to try a different OS, on a different machine for awhile. *I have played with red hat, knoppix, dos, nt, and windows (which could be dos or new technology), so please, just read my message and understand that I want you to send me a G5 for a tryout, and I will give an unbiased test. It might take a year or two, but I am up to the task. If that is acceptable, please include a baby sitter, and a steady paycheck whilst I play with the MAC. I am sure my wife will take up the slack.

Sure looked real... but here's a quote from the guy who did it.
"Are the pictures real? Yes. Is it my own G5 case that has been cut and hacked? Yes. Did I give away two G5 2GHz processors (IBM PC 970)? No! So what happened? I got a free G5 shell from a buddy of mine and pulled a prank on a Mac loving friend. He got so upset. I wrote up a little story, my imagination and warped sense of humor kicked in. I sent it to OC.com just to see the reaction. I honestly didn't think it was going to be posted." |

that's hilarious.
seriously though, it would be cool to have a boot screen to select other operating systems. has anyone tried to put linux on a g5 to run along side panther?

gibingus - when they introduced OSX, right before I left the mac business, I installed linux over mac osx, it worked fine, I imagine dual booting would be no more difficult than on any other machine.
Macs are fine, overpriced, but good lookin and powerful. As hardware, that is. Software-wise, turn to linux for macs. |

I don't know why everybody insists on Linux of MacOS, there's a lot less Linux Apps out there.
