Yes people, you heard me, some guy got a dual G5, ripped everything out and isntaleld a 2200 athlon xp in it...
Still dont believe me? Check it out!!!
When I showed my friend, who happens to love Apple, he looked sick. He did not say anything to me. He just put his hands on his head and was in shock. I wish I had a picture of that.
I wonder why... 
<_<
:naughty: I'm coming for your dualie Seph... I'm gonna turn it into a lovely 386
Oh and he did this afterwards...
I put all the parts from the G5 into a box and gave it to my friend. He was rather happy. I think he is going to try to install them into his G3 - I hope he's successful.
coool :woot: someday i will do it!
kewl;) i only need a G5 case, but i can't buy only the case with out the CPU!!!
or does somebody know where i can buy only the G5 case???
You might try Ebay.....you can occationally find G3 and G4 cases for sale. Maybe there will be a G5 case.
poor poor g5.
I wish someone would give me a box of G5 parts, id make them fit in an ATX case....
no it exciset no G5 case;( at ebay
I feel the sadness in Steve Jobs heart after this was posted.

No no nooooooooo, this is baaaad! 
This guy just ripped 2 dual processor 64 bit each to place a mini ATX with a first generation AthlonXP, with nothing more than 1.5 ghz!!!1
Then he gave the processors and fans away...
He basically paid 3000usd for a case... :6 oh, and then he put green lights inside, that is just heresy! :goku's job:
/Me cries...
EDIT: the link is working for me , maybe too many users?
i read that virginia tech is getting rid of all the g5's in their supercomputer and replacing them with g5 xserve's
the article can be found ovah yea.
take note of this line:
"Asked what would become of the 1,100 PowerMac G5 computers being retired, Varadarajan said: "We're working on getting them very good homes."
hopefully none get sent to dumbasses that will tear em apart <_<
hahah, yeah i heard about that as well, i am praying that the last part of your post does become true and they actually gett good homes!!! like members of the a-s community hehehhe... well not all of them, there are some Stevies that dont deserve them... 
He basically paid 3000usd for a case...
He said it was a Christmas present and that he wanted a Dell instead - heaven help us all...
Wish i had a G5 case, i'd stick my laptop in there, , and if it wasn't empty then i'd have 2 computers. How i wish that company would give me a G5,

well i hate that kid. Anyone that would be so inclined to get such a thing as a chrimas present, just to tear it up and plop 200$ of computer parts in there is pathetic. Just cause he wanted windows XP..... Its not like he wanted to play games, the MB he put in there didnt even have an AGP. Plus a PCI scsi card..... usless things, the PCI bus cant even handle the bandwidth. Why to such dumb people get such nice stuff....
Okay now that is just sick. Who would dare do such horrible, torturous, terrible, ungodly things to a G5!?
To quote Vorbis;
'Beat him to within an inch of his life and then burn him the rest of the way.'
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.
Where is the quote from? It would be nice to know that this was a crappy mod rather than a cruel gutting of a good machine. 
heheh it would relief me! hehehe.. still, he could have put SOME effort on the mod for god's sake!
