Why the 733T wants to have windows on their cases is beyond me
Believe it or not, You've already answered this. When us PC folks build a computer, we often try hard to route the 10,000 wires ATX seems to require out of sight and, more importantly, out of the air currents. After all this hard work, many of us feel compelled to show it off, resulting in windows, neon lights, and all sorts of other fancy gizmos. Plus, many high-preformance PC components (heatsinks, video cards, etc) look so awesome, it's hard to justify not showing them off.
and btw, you are absolutly right about the airflow in the G5. Why the engineers of PC formfactors can't figure that out is beyond me.
And to throw in a 32 bit OS on the AMD64 chip isn't really fair to it's power. It's not really using the full potential of the chip.
Perhaps not. Unfortunatly, for the 45 billion of us stuck with Windows, 32 bits is all we can work with. With that in mind, I say that it still is fair game (for now, at least) to compare AMD64 chips with Intel chips in a 32 OS.
Though it would be nice to see Intel procs get smoked even more... =)

I can just see the headlines: "East Coast plunged into darknes again after man boots up new 4GHz Prescott machine"

I tried, but then the Secret Service came to my house and slashdotted me
stupid computer crimes laws...
I hear ya! Just dropped $160 on a Xaser III. D'oh
...oh, wait you said quantum computing, not money... My mistake.
So, remind me how this is different from any other year?

Well, seeing as it will be a Microsoft product, you'll probably have to reboot 10 times as often. :D
