    It smacks of spoilt-kid-tries-to-mod-using-only-a-sharp-knife



    Should have changed it into dual-opterons with some funky cooling setup anyway

    I'm not a Mac user, but if someone DID give me a dual proc G5, I certainly wouldn't rip the guts out of it, I'd learn to like it - talk about "an error has occurred between chair and keyboard"!
