Case Tweaking
A reader writes "I don't know what they were smoking, but these guys decided that the G4 case makes for a great LAN party box. Of course, without the G4 and all that yucky Mac hardware -- just the aesthetics. They go about hacking and modding the case, turning a low power (aka, weak) x86 box and toss it into the G4 casing, and don't end up destroying the case to make everything fit. Lotsa pictures and explanations of every step in the process"
yeah you, hemos, for publishing it, and you too, anonymous coward, for submitting a story just so you could say something ignorant on the front page...
Of course, without the G4 and all that yucky Mac hardware -- just the aesthetics.
please...
Of course, without the G4 and all that yucky Mac hardware...
All I can say to this post is, well, FUCK YOU!
This is THE MOST obvious flamebait I've ever seen! Yucky G4 hardware. Gimme a break! When any Pentium running LInux can beat Photoshop in a benchmark, I might give some consideration to such a ridiculous statement.
Oh yeah! All you have on Linux is the GIMP, so any comparison is moot!
The mac, and the G4 in particular, has it's place, so please cease with the obvious CPU/OS snobbery and just report the facts. Who gives a shit if some geek holds a LAN party with a neat looking case?!?!?! It's still a geek gathering and not necessarily something useful or important!

After having to deal with AppleDirect multiple times, I can relate to idea that gutting the system and switching it over entirely is a good use for one. Unfortunately, finding an apple machine that doesn't come with a way too hefty price tag and no gaurantee on when it will be shipped from the factory, will make anyone want to gut it. IMHO

I dream every night about having a G4 case with Apple logos all over it running Windows 2000. Man I will be king of cool at the next LAN party!
