Yeah that's pretty stupid. Granted his parents made a pretty big blunder buying a Mac for someone who doesn't want a Mac, but he should have come clean with them. I'm no Mac fan myself, but geez gutting a dual G5 and putting together his ghetto rig. Beyond that, he's happy that his parents don't know anything (did they miss the neon glowing??).
Besides, he needs to duct his PSU's exhaust directly out of the back of the case. He's going to be baking the rest of his ghettoputer like that.

How can someone do something like that??

wow, they just took a REALLY expensive computer, and cut the value in half or less. BRAVO! I'm not a mac user, but it doesn't even look nice like macs do anymore.

ya, I would kept it. Jesus, thos things are pimp but not for the $$. I personally woulda come clean w/ my parents and seen if they woulda taken it back and then would of build an insane PC w/ all that $$. Aren't those things like 3.5g's?
WHAT THE FUCK!??!?!?! I SWEAR I WILL HUNT THIS FUCKING GUY DOWN AND MAKE HIS LIFE A LIVING HELL!!! YOU DON'T DO NOT DISGRACE A G5 LIKE THAT!!!!! THAT GUY WILL BEG OR MERCY WHEN I'M DONE WITH HIM!!! GALLSTAFF! SAME FOR YOU FOR MAKING THAT COMMENT!!
Oh man I'm pissed now... First I lose my job, now THIS! ARGH!
BJammzz, are you talking the G5? Thr fastest at the moment is Dual 2.0 GHZ. Rumors going that it may hit 3.0 GHZ sometime this year....
Oh man... that guy must have a serious death wish....
I feel like breaking something right now....
Why does it own? The case is all wrong for a PC, and his resulting computer is a POS with really horrible mounting, setup, appearance, etc.
Cloud: You're going a bit overboard there buddy. I thought it was a shame too, more importantly dishonest and a waste, but it IS just a computer.

I meant price wise, haha. 3.5g's.....as in 3.5 grand.
I find the G5 overpriced for not that great a machine anyway. It's like at 2 ghz... yay? I paid 90 dollars for an athlon xp and oh look, it's 2 ghz as well. The computer could be a fine machine and all, but it's just so damn proprietary it doesn't give you the freedom a pc does.
At least this moron has a heart. ;-) the G5 lives on chill out.
Windows is definitely not as "free" as you would like to think, nor would Macs be as "restricted" as you would like to think. Windows tries to lock you into using their software by defaulting to their software, versus something you install. This, however is matched on the Mac OS, so in this respect, Windows is not about "freedom". You might also be saying that PC's are better because you can install a variety of operating systems on it, and that you can use a variety of hardware. The same, though you may not have realized, is the same for Macintosh Hardware. I can go to NetBSD's, Kernel.org, Mandrake's, Gentoo's, etc. website and grab a disc image of their open operating system, which has just as much choice as on commodity x86 hardware, and install it over the default OS X.
Apple's hardware can also support a variety of plug-in cards, close to my knowledge, if there is a matching driver for *nix, as OS X and *nix is quite similiar (though different in it's programming interface), so, along with Apple's extensive example codebase for Darwin, one could port over a driver rather easily.
Also, I don't see Apple trying to get you to use an operating system that's soon to have "trusted computing" at it's core, nor will Apple hardware have to use a proprietary bios that Microsoft is creating, that will ultimately add more bugs to Microsoft's already buggy operating system.
I haven't seen anything like the mydoom, sobig, etc, hit the Macintosh platform, so you'd then have a point with the freedom of viruses to contract. You also have the freedom with Microsoft software to choose which spyware you'd like to have.
