More Power Mac G5 photos published
You'd think G5 photos would be boring by now, but these are non-marketing photos which shows some interesting things about the machine. In particular how much bigger it is then the G4 and how the Airport and Bluetooth antennas stick out the back. Other then the obvious comparison to a cheese grater or electric razor I love the look of these boxes. They're completely form following function with a minimalistic look that reminds me of really nice, high end audio gear. It's the kind of quality engineering that so many people just can't appreciate. They want all these blinken lights and crap, or god-awful case designs like this. I think the G5 is going to be a true classic of computer design like the Cube. Let's just hope it doesn't suffer the Cube's fate in the market.
