Pictures of disassembled iMac G5-iSight
Here are the pictures. It is interesting to see how Apple tried to isolate the G5 processor and the cooling system from the rest of the motherboard. It looks like a decent effort to address the heat problems that plagued these machines from the very beginning. Waiting for the first user reports.

There's apparenly a little panel that pops off for RAM, but the rest is supposedly non user-servicable...it's probably still possible to upgrade some other components (ie: HDDs etc...)

It appears that in this iMac model, memory is the only user-accessible part of the machine.

Hmm. Page 56 i the manual is named "Installing MacOS 9". It doesn´t say Classic?

They say in the description ?Install Mac OS 9 System Support?. That's Classic. And that's what they should say in the title, not just ?Installing Mac OS 9?. Just a minor wording goof up, irrelevant for newcomers to the Macintosh, and the old ones too since they know what's up.
One thing that is interesting is the speakers look quite a bit larger. I wonder if they sound better than the ones in the previous iMac G5.

Where?
Sure, I can see the power is top left, but is it a PSU or just power distribution?

Yeah, thanks, it took me some time to realize that he talks about the kodawarisan page, not the Apple one.
There's copper pipes coming off it!!!
