I was surfing around Apple's web site, trying to find a leaked image of the rumored 2.6Ghz G5s (or any clue of them), when I came across this:

Thats a old home done paint job from a year or more ago, i remember the dude was hanging around spymac and showing that if memory serves. Dont get excited over a can of paint and some hard work. Its not the new Imac.

I can't quite tell--does it look to you like it was made that way, or modded?
I thought it was interesting that it was hosted on Apple's site.https://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6543
eMac mods...iMac pics are also in the thread

homey
The photo does look a bit too 'homemade' to be an official Apple release photo...wouldn't you say?

I'd go with some silver lightning-bolt stickers, myself.
That could be why it IS on Apple's own servers...themadchemist said:

Now THAT was funny.
Black iMac looks like it belongs to some moron who likes watching re-runs of Knight Rider.
I remember that, that was From MacWorld Tokyo, from about 2 years ago, there were some cool mods there, I liked the Beerserver G3, and the iMac that was made out of sugar
Yah, I've seent his one before - pretty amusing. I like how people thnk that because it's black, it must be the new iMac - yep, no redesign whatsoever, just a paint job - that must double the bus speed right there...
Personally, I don't know why someone would do that to an iMac, but whatever....

All it needs now is a Type-R decal and a ridiculous fan vent thing that makes it sound like a can of angry bees when the fan spins up so you can hear it from a mile away. Perhaps the CD-ROM tray can pop out and act like a spoiler, too, because as you know, with those mods that thing will need all the downforce it can get.

Heh heh - nice one. Don't get me started though on all those idiots out there who actually do all those stupid modifications to their crappy cars. God, I could rant on for hours about their idiocy - tip resonators, spoilers for FRONT WHEEL DRIVE cars, wings, crappy paint jobs, Type-R badges on non-Type-R cars, stupid lettering/decals, ugly tail light replacements - what are those idiots thinking? Man, I just better stop....

Hell, why not just strip the iMac and replace it all with carbon fiber with lots of scoops.
