think I prefer the back of the new enclosure to the front.

having the light pass through the grating looks tacky to me, which is why i would put the side of the case on instead of leaving it open like that. then the G5 would look a lot better there. the G4... i never have liked that design. it's kind of cutesy. sleek, yes, but toyish. i have never liked that about it, and it's a style that is absent from their other designs (except the original iMac). i think the new one is a turn in the right direction.Originally posted by scem0

oh well indeed. how often do you even look at the chips? seriously, they are covered with a conductive putty and a probably masive heat sink. or are you talking about the covers for the heat sinks? but again, who cares. i usually just look at my case and monitor when i am using a computer anyways. say about 99.9% of the time.Originally posted by MrMacman
I don't like that they have the 'G5' name plasterd on the chips... oh well.

thats not a fair comparison. the g4 obstructs the view of the g5 and all you can see of it is the front...but since the side panel is removed you can see right through the front which is not how its intended for it to be judged when talking aesthetics. poor picture for comparing.
p.s. what was wrong with using your keyboards USB port? and if you wanted to hook up firewire what was wrong with the back ports? it sucks that apple listened to the people who NEEDED that feature. oh well. it is convenient but it looks crappy on the front.
who cares though. that thing has some power.
