I'm not currently a Mac user but this just makes me want to cry.

How could you take a great unit like that and ruin it?
I wonder if he ever thought that all of the money he spent on the PC stuff could have gone towards software for the Mac.

He killed a dual processor G5, what is wrong with him. I use PCs, but only because you can build them for cheap. If I had money I'd get a one as soon as possible, PCs are great for gaming, but how I would love that for video editing. Premeire crawls on my Athlon XP 2000 w/ only 640 mb ram. If anyone gets an unwanted G5 just send me an email, and I'll take care of it for you, shipping included.

Sick, sick man :frowning:

I think it's hillarious! I feel sorry for the poor Macofiles
that are upset by the slaying of thier wunder machine G5 :)

I think the kid should stick a 8088 in it with a 540Kb Hard
Disk and a 5.25 Floppie!


:D

I just read the article and there's an update at the top of the page. Essentially, it was a joke. He got the case from a friend and made his "creation" from that, not from a hacked Mac that his parents got him.

Scott, no I didn't post it here on HTF. One of the members of wolfgaming posted it and we all had a great laugh. I wonder why it would be deleted?

quote from the hoaxer:


i personally don't buy the retraction. i think he thought he was going to be cool for doing this and when he got roasted instead he put up a fake retraction. studying the initial pictures closely shows a complete intact g5 that is sitting in the same position as the modded g5 case.

i hope he learned something.

Try Acid, it's the same thing, only actually useful for real musicians (where as garageband is totally targeted at people who know nothing about music).
