MacPlus Travesty

The ultimate Mac insult.

I mean, seriously. Not only is it an Athlon machine, but the Apple logo isn’t even right. Tai can draw one by hand, and if a Mac was around, they could have just typed option-shift k in just about any font to get a perfect vector of the logo.

Damn.

    I think it’s pretty cool, actually. I mean, is it really a bad thing that PC users like Macs?

    Kyle, its like taking a new mac and putting a glowing windows logo on it and circulating the pictures of it it around the net. Do you get it now?

    Actually, no, I don’t. From my standpoint, all this person did was complete a sweet modification that not only gives tribute to one of the greatest (and most historically significant) home computers ever made, but also has a powerful processor (believe it or not), and seems to be budget-friendly (unlike any Apple PC ever produced).

    ACTUALLY, both the orginal version of that computer and this complete nerd with to much time on his hands remake of the machine were shitty compared to my new G5.

    Even I’ll admit, that’s TERRIBLE. That mod looks like absolute shit. The G5 case was made for a G5 board, obviously, not that shitty athlon board.

    re: that G5/Athlon monstrosity:

    The hoax part was the story behind its construction. Faithful viewerClayton Romer notes that the original URL for the butchered G5 now includes a note from “Andy,” the vile perpetrator of the beast’s unholy assembly, in which he reveals that, no, his parents didn’t give him a dual-processor Power Mac G5 for Christmas which he subsequently mutilated in order to install a hodgepodge of icky Wintel parts just so he could play MP3s in Windows XP. Instead, he actually just came into possession of a “free G5 shell” and stunk it up with junkyard crap, primarily to “pull a prank on a Mac-loving friend.” In other words, no G5s were harmed in the making of this nightmare.
