champu 1 #7 February 6, 2004 yeah I read about that, one of my "mac friends" sent it to me trying to start an arguement about how dumb and subborn PC users are and how great macs are and it's all built in and all the software you need is included and they're pretty and blah blah blah... It didn't work though, cause there's really no arguing the fact that what this guy pretended to do was stupid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChasingBlueSky 0 #9 February 7, 2004 As told by HardOcp Posted by Steve 5:12 PM (CST) Apple To PC Mod Snafu: Overclockers posted an Apple G5 to PC(http://www.overclockers.com/tips1133/) mod the other day that apparently showed someone gutting a brand new dual processor G5, giving away the internals, then replacing everything with a lame Micro-ATX Athlon based board that didn’t even sport an AGP slot. Tons of people responded only to find out the whole thing ended up as a prank on Overclockers and the story really didn’t happen like the author said it did. Ed has updated the article to let readers know what happened: Are the pictures real? Yes. Is it my own G5 case that has been cut and hacked? Yes. Did I give away two G5 2GHz processors (IBM PC 970)? No! So what happened? I got a free G5 shell from a buddy of mine and pulled a prank on a Mac loving friend. He got so upset. I wrote up a little story, my imagination and warped sense of humor kicked in. I sent it to OC.com just to see the reaction. I honestly didn't think it was going to be posted. Obviously, if you were going to do a mod like this, you would expect the new PC components to meet or exceed that of the existing Apple hardware. Or go to the other extreme and make a fishbowl out of the G5 or something like that. We happen to like Apple to PC conversions, but we like them when they are done correctly. Our very own Rotten Apple project (http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MzUx) took a G4 case and filled it with the “best of the best” PC components available at the time and color matched the whole project in [H]ardOCP red._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

leroydb 0 #10 February 7, 2004 HOAX click link http://www.macnn.com/news/23256 Techworld notes that G5 Case Mod is a hoax Tuesday, February 3, 2004 @ 2:25pm Techworld.Com reports the G5 Case Mod (noted here last week) is a hoax: "The G5 case shown on the website was given to the author empty (though somebody must have removed its innards one supposes) and he simply filled it with PC workings and then photographed his own working G5 with the side of the case off. Concocting a far-fetched anecdote around the wheeze and sending it off to a website was probably not the best move however. In a matter of two days he claims to have received 1,300 messages of contempt, disgust and incomprehension."Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio...
