Oh come on now Spungo! Everybody knows you would use it as a nightlight for the sheep pen.
And even though this might be a hoax, the guy should still get the beatdown for even suggesting the idea.

A foot stool won't wind people up as much... you should have said a 286.

I agree with Xanthine. I am also a PC user, but I would also, if my parents got me a g5 at least alternate between PC and Mac for their respective purposes. This guy pisses me off so much it cannot be comprehended by the human mind. If I met him one day, I would throw him to the ground, and beat him to death with his precious Dell shitbox. Holy crap. Phew. Ok. I think my blood pressure is down now. Let's just hope this guy either dies soon, or miraculously gains 100 IQ points.

Isn't the fact he'll be using a low end PC and Windows punishment enough?

No, you should have him try to use some of the old WINE betas to run Windows software. That's punishment enough.

Quoth MacSlash (as the OC link from there is down): quote: The PC'd G5 Was A Hoax posted by Cannonball on Friday January 30, @05:28AM from the thank-god. dept. Anonymous Coward writes "The nightmare is over. See overclockers [ed. note. (dragon) - link is down, mirrors anyone?]." All I can say is...Thank God. Why anyone would destroy the industrial design of a Mac to slap in a cheap PC board is totally beyond me. One heckuva joke, though.

hmm, I know it's late but I've been away. This guy basically built himself a K-computer (like a K-car). He'll probably go around telling people he has a Mac with full windows compatabilty. And whats worse is the fact that he didn't even build a decent X86 box!
quote: I am stuck using the onboard video because there is no AGP slot. I had no money for a SATA controller and quite honestly, I swear by SCSI (the G5 comes with SATA drives).
he would have been better off with at useing the drives from his Mac and buying a PCI SATA controller. SCSI is getting expensive, and when you figured that he already had the drive! Why haven't stupid people killed themselves off yet?isn't that whats supposed to happen?

You did read the follow-up didn't you?
He did it as a joke, and has put his G5 back together to use.
quote: Written by Andy the Mac Killer:
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. I cannot believe how fast or how far it has spread on the internet. There are an amazing number of people who are emotionally attached to inanimate objects such as computers. Mac fans seem to be much worse that I ever expected. The G5 is amazing, I would never dream of really doing that
Unclench. I love my Mac, too. There are much bigger idiots out there.
