just to clarify - this is far and away the dumbest thing I think I've ever seen. This person should be removed from the gene pool. 
What a horrid waste.
and it was a dualie too... what a dumbass.

For real we should send him emails.

wow wish my parents were that rich, so they could buy me a G5, and then I would use it to destroy all things Athlon.
Sounds like with what he uses it for, the Mac had most of the software he would need anyway. And he could've spent the money that he spent on the hardware buying VirtualPC for those programs that he needs to run under Windows.
Or course if he's a game player...
Ya know something, I hope his parents do find out.

I just sent him a nasty email, I hope he checks his hotmail.......... Dang I am so mad, spoiled rich brat!
Dude I wanted a Dell!?!?!?

I'm calling BS on this one ...
There's no way this guy spent that kind of cash to rip it up and then say what he really wanted was a Dell. If this is real, he REALLY REALLY wanted that G5 case. Otherwise, for the cash, he could have gotten a nice Dell.

Not even. its an athlon 2200. that doesn't even show up on the quick list...okay, there, $56 bucks. this is the equivalent of the $319 el cheapo dell system, minus the fact that thats a price for new components.
the worst part is he cut out the case for an atx panel...the board he wants to put in there will no doubt be longer, so he's pretty much ruined the case.
If he had a ounce of intelligence, he would have sold the g5 and bought a new system.
much agreed. WHAT THE "BLEEP"!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i wish he would have let me know, because i would have gladly overnighted him a brand spanking new piece of "bleep" dell, to trade for the g5... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
I don't know how to respond.
Is this a joke? He uses it for internet and ripping CDs and DVDs? Which, OBVIOUSLY, can't be done on a Mac.
Is he just a spoiled kid, and thinks this is a way to secretly get back at his parents.
Is he in need of attention?
Man, those fans are going to be loud.
The phrase, "I wanted a Dell for Christmas" - I just.. I... I can't imagine anyone saying this. If you are a computer person, you certainly don't want a Dell. Build your own, and whatnot.
I call shenanigans.

My God!
The first picture he posted, of his intact G5 was just so beautiful, and as he progressed through his "transition" i got sicker and sicker!! all the ugly PC parts and wires all over the place! he completely destroyed such a beautiful machine just to use XP!!!!
I wonder if he even booted it up and played with it, to see if he could "tolerate" OSX for a 4Ghz machine! i mean he says, "i am no Mac user" i wonder if he has ever tried! OMG what an idiot!
If i were his friend i would be so mad at him!! but then again i would also have all the makings and insides of a G5! so i bet his friend was happy and mad!
People like this should just sit back and really re-evaluate what they are doing!! like it was a christmas gift, geez!

Two things:
1. You don't need extra "Apple software" to use the internet or burn DVDs with a Macintosh. In fact, using the internet is a lot more secure and pleasant when you don't have to deal with viruses, worms, patches, pop up ads, spyware, etc. (All of which you can avoid with a Macintosh)
2. He wanted a Dell instead? Anyone who knows anything about a computer would never admit to or want to own a Dell. Come on, even PC users with half a brain would pass up Dell and get a better computer, especially if they had the money to blow.
