Mini G5-style tower (NOT the G5 Cube mod)
Okay, a while ago some Japanese guy posted pictures of a Cube he had put into a miniature G5-looking case. Looked awesome, perfect replica, all that. The Japanese are always great at doing mods like that.
Anyway, I just saw this today:

For those of you who don't want to click the link, it's an old iMac DV put into a custom-made miniature G5 replica case, done in iMac colors. Too bad it's a slow little machine, but it sure is a beauty!
Just amazingly well done. I'd say just as good as the G5 Cube, or better. Look how tiny it is!

If I knew more about electronics and whatnot, I'd like to buy an old iMac DV off eBay and do something like this with the "guts" of it. Make something like that "uMac" talked about over in Future Hardware.
I really hope they build a G5 like that. Wow, that thing would sell so fast, they wouldn't be able to make enough.
Although I'm not really in the market for another desktop machine (looking to notebooks next), I would be extremely tempted by that thing.
Throw a G5 in @ 1.6
64-128MB of VRAM
160GB HD
SuperDrive
All for around eMac pricing...

I would have to seriously re consider my PB purchase.
style with the electronic components in there life. Alot more
people are buying stylish desks with simplistic designs, this
goes hand-in-hand with there computers. These people don't
want to stow away there desktops under there nice designer
desk. Go Apple this is something that people want, a nice small
form factor for a mini tower. Something midway between the
imac and the G5. Something nice to look like the cube was.
Simplicity is growing, as well as esthetics, the look and feel of
a consumer tower with the power of low-end G5. Something
to bridge the gap between the ones who want a G5 and the one
who cant afford or feel guilty buying know it more than they need.
You know you are...and you know what you want....
