There are several reasons I would want to do this. The Xserve is $3000 to $4000. It is also 28 inches deep, which is too large for many smaller racks (like mine.) The iMac is $1300 to $1500 (for a 17 inch) so I have money leftover, or I can buy two for the price of one Xserve.
Marathon sells rack kits for the old CRT iMacs, which put the whole thing (minus CRT of course) in a 1U rack. It is cheap and easy to make a small basic server. I like the fact that you don't need a really deep rack, and that if I want multiple computers, they don't all have monitors built-in, wasting space.
I would like the same thing, but with a G5. The G3's in those old iMacs are not going to win any races these days.
I know this would be a niche market, but they seem to be staying in business selling similar products already.
This looks like a great form factor motherboard to place in a nice 1U rack. It would make a great entry-level server. If you get rid of the LCD, there would be plenty of room to fit it all in. The only thing that would need work is the ports which would end up facing the top, but that could be solved with right-angle connectors that run to a new backplate.
If anyone at Marathon is listening, I'd buy a rack kit in 2 seconds. Include a power supply to install in the iMac case and power the LCD, plus add a DVI port, and you end up with a great rackmounted Mac and a nice display to use on some other Mac.
I wonder if I can order all the parts except the case and LCD, and get the computer cheaper that way. Probably not.
Hyperdrive? What does that have to do with anything? The Hyperdrive was a third party hard drive made by GCC for old Macs (1985 era) and probably taxed the old power supplies, which were not designed to power a hard drive (and usually died by themselves anyway.) The Hyperdrive was over $2000 in 1985, for a whopping 10 megabytes.
Also, there is no such thing as a "MAC 2E." There was an Apple IIe, but that was not a Mac. You mention a square bag, so I assume you had a compact Mac - maybe a Mac 512kE model?
Oh, and "Mac" is not an acronym. Please stop writing it in all caps. Thank you.
Just buy a few ClearCom headsets. If wireless costs too much for you, get the old-style models and some lengths of XLR cable. Why waste time with all this computer stuff? It just complicates things. Use the simplest solution.
Actually, the gate from Antarctica was the one that was destroyed early in season 6. The original gate was purchased from the Russians and returned to Colorado.
However, we'll be seeing a lot more in Antarctica at the end of season 7...
IIRC, the U of Chicago was founded about 1850 and the U of Calif in 1868 (Bezerkeley campus founded in 1873), which gives the U of Chicago precedence with the "UC" name.
How come Fox News is the only outfit that has this story?
I'd like to see someone else (credible) tell this story, if it is even true. I searched through over 500 comments and no one else has even questioned the validity of the story. And the only links on Google News lead back to the same story.
Sorry, but I don't trust things that are only reported by one person, quoting a "source," especially if the person works for Fox News.
Actually, the first PowerMacs came with System 7.1.2, which was just 7.1 that was (barely) made to run on a PPC.
7.1.1 is also known as "System 7 Pro" (and did not run on PowerMacs.) There is no System 7.2.
The first "real" System that was PPC-saavy was System 7.5, but it was not free of a lot of 68k code, so it ran pretty slow on a PowerMac. System 8.x finally sped things up, with 8.5 not even running on a 68k Mac anymore.
4. Realize that Apple employess like to take July 4th off, and will fix this minor bug when they finish drinking beer and lighting fireworks.

But you can buy a whole G3 on ebay for less than the ripoff prices at Shreve. (Hey they said they were going out of business, and now they're back? More BS from this retard company...)
How many DUI's and speeding tickets do you have to get in order to qualify for a $150 a month insurance rate? Your car can't be very expensive if it costs $350 a month.
You're leaving something out. You don't have to do that stuff. You can run the 1ghz powerbook at 1ghz on battery, and (unlike the P4 with its 2 minutes on full power) it will still get decent battery life.

Make sense now?

Duh?
Hey guess what. It is talking about $25 in commission, not 25 songs. Hello????
Vague? Why would $25 mean 25 songs? Stay off the iTunes music store, and try the iClue store.
Really, how hard would it be to string some coax to each room and plug in a TV?
The Apple Lisa had softpower back in 1983.
Where did you get that idea? Stargate is filmed in Canada, but it is produced and distributed by MGM.
They did beef up the hardware. It's called a "G5" and it runs the latest version of NeXT OS (renamed to OS X) just fine...
Then we should stop paying them 25-50% of the money we earn, at least until they get a leader who can speak actual English.

The University of Cincinnati was founded in 1819, and in fact owns the uc.edu domain name. :-P

RTFA. Apple does not make the iTrip. Griffin makes it.
However, Apple's Final Cut Express, which does almost as much as FCP, only costs $299, and is still a better video app than Premiere.
