Appauled

Yes, I too Applaud this creative endeavor. It may not be meticulously well crafted, but it is fun and offers a different aesthetic vision. I like the DIY attitude and the rough aspect of the final product. More graffiti hip than Photographic strict.

 

[Shamus]

Yeah.....

When are we going to see the G5 mods

If its going to look like that....lets hope never..

It is good to see some creativity coming through though...

 

[pknz]

That final pic looks like crap. Not even a good looking mod.

I've just been looking at some of the other stuff on that site.
I kept thinking one thing: WHY?

I mean, most of them look crap!
Take this for instance:

And this!

Why would you want this sat on your desk?
The B&W G3 is one of the nicest looking things ever.

Why didn't we think of that!

Those LEDs must make the computer go at LEAST 3x as fast!

Yeah, but there's always this to redeem them:

Well, I am appauled [sic] with your spelling, especially as it ended up in the title of this thread. You should try the Dashboard Dictionary thingy, or turn the spelling checker on in Safari before your post.

What is [sic]?

What is [sic]?

From Wikipedia:
"This may be used either to show that an uncommon or archaic usage is reported faithfully (for instance, quoting the U.S. Constitution, "The House of Representatives shall chuse [sic] their Speaker...") or to highlight an error, often for the purpose of ridicule or irony (for instance, "Dan Quayle famously changed a student's spelling to 'potatoe' [sic]")."

OK, I understand it's usage, but what does it mean? Where does it come from? Does it stand for something?

"Sic is a Latin word meaning "thus" or "so."

In folk etymology, "sic" is sometimes thought to be an abbreviation of "same in copy", "spelled incorrectly" or "said in context", to cite but a few erroneous backronyms."

looks fine to me...as long as it doesn't follow me home

I am not appauled/appaled (or however you spell it; 'cause I don't know how either) by it, but I don't like it. I like the simple & small look of the mini as it is.

BUT it would be cool to do this...

Although not as appalling, you should check this out. A guy installs a 3d party airport card in his ibook, but because of clearance problems he has to remove the "brace" which is actually the heatsink and never replaces it. Although it was only 233mhz, so im sure it doesn't produce that much heat. nevertheless I found it a little funny.

Cons: - the missing parts affect the structure.
Pros: - the missing parts have no real affect on the structure.

I would rather do that then pay $100 for the apple wifi card

Good point, but im sure the ibook now suffers stability problems because of this though.

 

[sunfast]

Ick! Don't like that at all.

The Falcon is quite imaginative though. I like the iSight poking out.

Though I do like the look of the mini as is I have to say.
