Care to elaborate? I'm not very familiar with the G5 line, but I'm perplexed by how a computer could be "all wireless." Are you saying that there are no wires inside the case?

The PC on the left shows that if you try hard enough you might cram everything into the average PC case. The Power Mac G5 was designed from the inside out so that the case and internal components were meant to go together.

That is cool, but, it is still a MAC. ;)

MAC and PC........they both have their pros and cons. Neither is a bad system, just different. But its good to have SOME sort of competition, keeps price down at least somewhat.

even though $300 for an OS doesnt seem like a real price war :rolleyes:

I like MACs for certain tasks as I like PCs for certain tasks...

Yea.. but mac is sooooo much fud and eye candy just like windows. Thats why I like Linux with KDE. easy to use and you can use a simple theme. :) Not to mention you get a speed boost with everything :)

Linux is too limited in software availability compared to Windows. That's the main reason I don't like Linux. It's free and all, but to be honest with you, I wouldn't use it even if they paid me to use it. It just wouldn't work for me...

i think the new G5 case is pretty nice

it got me thinking of making my own case that is "left handed"

my access door would be on the right side not the left and the mainboard would sit in the case upsidedown...:eek:

linux looks nice, but i like playing games.

I throught the EXACT same thing when I was 13/14 years old. I don't want to argue but how can you say that about something even though you haven't tried it?

Oh, trust me, Thronka. I've tried Linux. You know I wouldn't make comments on something I haven't even tried.

And there is no point in arguing. What's to argue about? It's all about preference. We all have different needs so... :)
