    Windtunnel was used for the last PowerMacs, and with these supposedly being 2-3 times as quiet, it's probably not the most fitting name.



    Wasn't Cheesegrater already used for the old ones too?



    I can't believe we have a freakin G5. I think I'm just going to call it G5 for now.

    i thought the apple codename was neo.

    if this was a reference to the matrix movie, they're really expecting a lot of it.

    How bout

    KING-OF-POWER-MAC

    said "king of power (pause) mac"

    since it is the " most powerfull PC ever"

    it should be noted as the KING-OF-POWER and incidentaly it is a mac

    also with the abbreviation KOpowermac It gets KO like it ko's the competition.

    Windtunnel sounds far too much like Wintel.



    My vote: Charbroil

    (it's a big grill too)

    2 x 97W = 194W, so I dub it the "blow-dryer"

    Or perhaps the "toaster".
