Alt G5 Box
found this on a uk website, showing an alternative G5 box (without handles!)
maybe I am a few discussions behind, but did this slip through the net? or is it just a mock-up?

That is a really bare-bones cabinet - no grille at all; two optical slots.
You may have spotted something here!

it's an old mockup
However, I don't see that anytime soon considering all the hoopla about the cheesegrater cooling system!

Wait for the new revisions. There has been rumors flying around that since the new processors are smaller and create less heat, there will be less of an emphasis on cooling, so they will be able to get that second optical drive in there as well as another two hard drives.

Hopefully. Its kind of a joke to have a tower of that size, with only one optical drive and room for only two harddrives..

This IS TRUE, luckily there are ext. FireWire to ATA cases on eBay for about 30-40 $. It would be cool, for those of us with only one processor, if there could be made an extra bracket to hold extra internal drives. As we don't have that second heat sink.

Oh, don't worry about extra drives...

WICHITA, KS -- Jan. 6, 2004 -- WiebeTech announces G5Jam, which gives users the ability to increase internal storage in a G5 computer to a total of four drives.
G5Jam is easily RAIDed using the OS X soft raid utility. The resulting performance exceeds 200MB/sec and is suitable for support of HD 1080i 10 bit uncompressed Final Cut Pro editing.
WiebeTech is making G5Jam available in initial capacities of 1 Terabyte (using four 250GB drives) or 640 Gigabytes (using four 160GB drives.)
Included accessories are a new cooling baffle plate, constructed from mirror aluminum, four drives, a Serial ATA host card (one PCI slot required) and appropriate cables.
The mini-Power-Tower-Cube would get my vote.
£699-£999 inc VAT.
Upgradable graphics. 1.6-2gig single G5s. Leave the 'big' towers with single and duals and more expandability.
Easy. Better than the Lard and Lamp Mac AIOs...
'Ew'. I hate that word. Having heard it spEW itself out of endless Buffy espisodes where characters feign revulsion...I'm kinda hoping this Amercianism gets deleted like combat trousers or shell suits...
'Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...'
