That has got to take the record for the most useful first post by a new member in the history of MacRumors. Thank you and well done.

Agreed, my first post was about using the iBook while in clamshell mode. How i have learnt alot since that day.
I have no idea what my first post was. Probably something pretty lame though.
Martusemax, how long did it take you to remove?

Well...
... actually, i don't have a iMac G5 YET.
My sister is coming tomorrow from UK with a brand new one to me. Then, she ask me how to carry it without the stand.
I looked for a solution and Google sent me to MacRumors. As i saw lots of posts here trying to solve this answer (with no success) i went to Apple's page and find it in Downloads section.
One thing i know is that you will need that kind of "star" allen tool to remove the screws.

Hummm...
I hate to say, but i think you're right. If it was so simple, we would not have so much posts about it. Sorry about it (if i'm REALLY wrong).
Anyway, i hope my G5 arrives here unbroken.

AWESOME! So your getting a G5 iMac, eh?
Sweetness! 17" or 20"... give us some specs please!
Translate, please
Errr, i'm lost here: i'm brazilian and my english isn't "that good", so someone can explain to me what is "bashing", because i didn't find it at BabelFish or another decent translate website.

its so lame when people try to get out of something they KNOW they did. Here let me point it out to you since the post is still there. Note that right off the bat you use a condensending and deameaning tone. Now be an honest person and tell us again if you think you were being mean.

you could of just pointed out that it was a mistake.

Hope your G5 arrives fine. Welcome to Macrumors.
I agree that Mikeyredk's thing did come off as little rude, but internet interpretations are different to what they are in real life and contantly accusing him of bashing a new member is a little childish, isn't it?
I say "arr" or "uhh" or "umm" when I am correcting something but not 100% sure of my correction, which isn't intended as bashing.

Absolutely
No way to get out, i'll keep coming here!
And just you all to know, my iMac arrived well and it's working fine. My sister brought it without it's back (!) in a big hand bag. She placed the back with the stands in her clothes luggage, and now everything is okay.
At this moment i'm transfering the files from my "old" iMac to the new one via firewire.
See?
Thanks for all comments, and sorry about the mistake. But promess: i'll find out how to remove the stand and post it soon.

I believe to take of the stand you have to take of the back of the machine first. Once the back is off I think there is a screw or mechanism of some type that you should be able to remove. From there you could put on the VESA mount on the back cover and then replace the cover. I could have swore I've seen a post around here that talked about it. I'll look for it and let you know if I can find anything. If I can't find anything maybe I'll just try to do it on mine. Good Luck.Martusemax said:
