This is sure to upset the Mac-addicts. 2.25GHz of AMD Athlon XP power tucked very neatly inside a customized Apple G4 case. They call it the 'Rotten Apple'."

    it's not a "Quicksilver" case. The case was introduced with the Yosemite PowerMac G3 in '98 and is known as "El Capitan". The cheapest way to get one would be with a 350Mhz Yosemite G3. The latest Apple towers have a superficially similar but heavily revised case.

    Actually the mac innards were ruggedized in a different case to make it more survivable for some heavy duty traveling use (concert tour? who knows) and the fellow doing this ended up with a useless case on his hands which he donated for the project. No macs were actually harmed in the making of this flamenco dancer case. B-)
