Yet Another PC-Mac Case Mod
JayPee writes "Fortunately, this mod doesn't involve destroying a brand new G5 for its shell. (And yes, I know the G5 was a "hoax"). Instead, the modder used an old Macintosh SE case for his gaming computer. While I'm sad that he wasn't able to use the old black and white display in conjunction with the LCD, I'm still amazed that he was able to deal with the heat issues that I'm assuming would pop up by stuffing a higher end PC and video card in a Mac SE case." This mod is technically impressive, and looks great.
I just brought me home my apple //gs and my mac plus. I'm a gettin' some unhealthy ideas maybe...
The GeekNights podcast is going strong. Listen!
I really like the retro look. Except the blue light, which is ugly retro. So two years ago.
Appearance: wow, great job! But it looks like you want a static display piece! Nice job laying out all your hard work on the carpet. Next time, uh, lay it out on a work bench, ESD matt, etc. It'll last longer, you'll hopefully have fewer problems, etc.
I guess the owner wants to shock you with his very slow looking Yugo that can do a 10 second quarter mile.
369 fps on Quake3 may not be enough to brag to your buddies, but maybe it just looks that much better when it comes from a case that held a 30mhz mac.
Yawn.
I would've been more impressed if he'd managed to put a dual G5 in there (to keep the whole Mac thing going). :)

It never ceases to depress me...
If these guys have such low self-esteem that they have to PRETEND that their PCs are Macs then there's really very little hope left for them.
DON'T let it happen to you.
Buy a REAL Mac tomorrow.
That was classic intercourse!
Yeah, right. Snotty kid brags about turning a G5 into a PC, gets about 30,000 emails, many of them variations on the theme of: You are a total idiot, and a few days later, said kid comes out and says: Uh, it was just a hoax, guys, I didn't really do it.
Uh-huh. Sure.
You can tell a great deal about the character of a man by observing those who hate him.
It would appear he would like to play some games on it.
If my answers frighten you, stop asking scary questions.
Not only was this a very impressive casemod (and not super-tacky like many are), the computer inside puts all of mine to shame, especially my still-functioning Macintosh SE. ;)

If a mac SE is a piece of history, I got a museum in my basement.
I know at least three people who would kill to have a Mac Classic...
Now just give me your name and address, and I'll send them after you with axes!

quite right.
The Mac Plus is however a different story, and I have my Mac Plus (fully functional, and still capable of playing Dark Castle), stashed somewhere safe! Those babies are going to be worth something someday, and if I'm lucky it's going to be worth the same amount of $$ I payed for the bastard
oh yeah? you look photoshopped to me...
