the p4 mod. man, i never thought i'd see the day. well, you get props for doing it, as it would have to be difficult with the inside chasis. as for the equipment inside, i shudder a bit. for a juxtaposition, drop a g5 into a p4 dell case. that would even it out for me,

i'll take some of that as well. i could always use another board. if it was a dual, we could split the processors and play 'rock, paper, scissors' for the board magnus

it would be pretty bad to see a G5 case powerup and boot windoze. Just my opinion


What about if it was booting into a nice clean *nix OS though? :P

Even if it is serious, it is a lousy mod idea.
Why not be original and make a unique design instead of stealing someone else's (Apple)

Typical of a Windoze user.........copy it !
