What is the point of having unidirectional wheels? so you can roll it dowm a hill?
Looks cool but is not THAT useful.
Say you keep your tower under your desk. You need to perform an upgrade, maybe plug something into the back of the unit. Well, with this neat contraption, you can just grab the top handle and pull forward. The entire computer will ease forward since it is on wheels.
The alternative is to lie down on the floor and awkwardly reach behind the computer. You could also try to pull it out, and in the process having the bottom of the unit slide across the floor. Also, if it is under your desk, there isn't a whole lot of room to grab the handles and lift up.

HAHAHA. That was funny, gave me a good laugh! Note: if anyone is planning on rolling their G5 down a hill for whatever reason, let me know, I'll be happy to take it off your hands.

I think it's a clever, worthwhile device.
ok...
Well say your in your office 40 floors up... you hear a rumble and notice that an eirthquake has started. The quake rips a hole near your cubicle and sets the building on a slant. All is good untill you see your G5 roll off on its new wheels into the hole.
Ok... a little far-off, but how about this...
Your G5 sits under your desk with its new wheels. You start to compile a new program, and play UT2003 at the same time... because you can. Then the fans kick into full blast to cool the beast that is the G5 sending the computer on a trip across your room and into your cat... killing it. Do you like killing cats?
Ok... still far-off... one more time...
On your way home you stop at the local soap-box durby. You see kids from all over ready to race down a hill. Then you notice your son... who has entered the race... riding your G5. He wins the race but crashes after the finish line... you ask him why he would do such a thing... and all he can say is: "you lied to me, you said apples never crash."

God I give up...
that was great... the fan thing... i wouldnt be that surprised about that happening... especially in target disk mode...
Hah! The iDrive is coming back! Oops... Wait. That was the iDisk I was thinking about from so long ago when I had it cuz it was free. Lol. Now for my third edit, I just noticed this was my 600th post! Woot!

Lies, Happy Jack left him in the dust. I was there.
My G5 slides amazingly well on those plastic thingies that are attached underneath the lower handles. I acually thought that Apple had placed some sort of mini wheels there, but no Actually, I think that Apple's solution might be better in some cases than the Japanese one since Apple's also makes it possible for the computer so slide sideways.
It looks awsome though, and the price is very nice.

Anyone care to explain what the top is for?
