iMac G5 Porn Roundup

Posted by pudge on from the take-it-all-off dept.

boredMDer writes "Apparently someone who has already recieved their iMac G5 has decided to take it apart. Stupid if only for the fact that he's just voided his warranty." pjcreath writes "Apple has posted official pages listing the components that are 'easy' to install (including the LCD!) and describing how to troubleshoot hardware problems using diagnostic LEDs inside the case. For the very curious, you can download the high-resolution TIFF (10MB) of the iMac's innards from Apple."

    You must not be an Apple zealot. Those get a hard-on whenever they see a Mac, and jack off to the apple.com website or photos of a Mac being "undressed"... Just another bunch of deviants.

    Plus, the midplane isn't very heavy or awkward at all, I'm not a burly geek girl, and I could handle it all by me onesy.

    I wonder how many moderators rated this post "Interesting" just because the poster mentioned she was a girl...

    What, you think that just because you paid for that G5, you have the right to get in under the hood? A hundred million hits on your server ought to do it, you heretic. Just to be nasty, we'll post the story on /.'s front page, so the barrage will begin at 2:00 in the morning ... nothing like a phone call from your webhosting ISP in the wee hours to start the day off right. No rest for the wicked, I say.

    The Performas were even worse. The insides of the cases are loaded with razor-sharp metal bits.

    Then again, the PowerMac 6100 and 7100 were pretty dangerous inside too, IIRC, and they weren't even in a consumer line. I think maybe they just never considered that filing down the sharp edges of metal could save a lot of not-so-careful techs a lot of blood.

    Insert a 3.5"er? I wish! I'm a white guy; it's more like a USB micro-drive.
