Am I the only one who doesn't like the G5's handles?

Who needs handles? especially on the bottom?

I never carry around my computers. Not more than once a year.



If there's a need for handles why arn't they recessed on the top or something.



this one looks much better, i guess

    I 2nd that. Handles look like they are only there for one reason; so it is not a blatant PC case with cheese grater look.



    IMO, YMMV

    The new G5 is the most beautifull thing in this world. I wouldn't change a thing.

    the handles is what makes it look different that other desktops! otherwise, just looks like a PC.

    I think that the biggest thing that looks bad on the new case are the style of the new vents. I would have liked a hexa-honeycomb front (with cut out hexagons), and then mesh underneath, so you see the mesh through the honeycomb. The new G5 front looks like the little holes that are cut out on the 17" Powerbook speakers.

    So it's agreed they are included just to look different than a PC?



    Other than the 2 or 3 times I haul my tower around in it's lifetime, they are a waste of space. The edges look kind of sharp too.

    Who needs handles? devs who move around and change their setup, install new ram ect...also me because i use pro machines (i won't settle for less) and i am moving around our computers when my bros get home and come from college (i'm glad their computers have handles...as they are powermacs)



    not sure why there are some ont he bottom but oh well





    if u dont have a need for handles then what does i matter to you? i'm not trying to bust on you dude seriously, i am just curious as to why u are bothered...think they'll annoy you, do you think they make it ugly?



    i agree with you though, i'm sure ive had his reasoning, but the handles don't exactly look like the best designs ever

    those handles (on the G4) saved all our machines when the floor flooded....they might also help with airflow when they are on carpeted floors....

    I think they should have been recessed and then fold out for use.



    I still like the looks overall and if it is like the rest of Apples hardware, it is always more impressive in person. Pictures never do them justice.

    Actually from head on they make it look more like a cheese grater

    I have absolutely no complaints about the G5 or its case. Come on guys....we finally are back on top and everyone gets all bent out of shape. I have seen the case up close and personal and pictures don't even do it justice.



    Let's just enjoy where we are at now.
