Computer Transplant Surgery

Computer Transplant Surgery -- I'm familiar with overclockers and modders from watching The ScreenSavers on TechTV. Some are pretty cool, with high geek-quotient both aesthetically and technically (and well beyond the unfortunately proven limits of my own technical skills), but this one is just sick...

I got a shiny new Apple G5 for Christmas. I loved the case, but I’m no Mac user. So I....
- Get a brand new dual processor G5, then
- Rip out everything,
- Cut out the back of the case so I can use a PC motherboard, and
- Install an Athlon motherboard.

[...] When I showed my friend, who happens to love Apple, he looked sick. He did not say anything to me. He just put his hands on his head and was in shock. I wish I had a picture of that.

[...] It’s a good thing my parents don’t know anything about computers, because I’m sure they would be really angry if they knew what I did. I have to say that I'm happy - I can keep on using XP.

The link includes pictures of the deed in progress. As a voluntary Mac user for almost 20 years now and occasional forced Windows user, all I can say is that this must be the kind of thing that happens when you go off your meds.
