guH!?

wtf?!

....now that's gotta be the most expensive xbox I've seen. It's like spending ~$3k for the case..!

 

[MDE]

Yeah, why don't these geniuses just get the cheaper 1.6GHz G5s or whatever's the "cheapest" of the lineup.

2. A working xbox system, controller, a/v & power cables. We're not going to be using the g5's powersupply. You can try your luck on ebay or.... you could try your luck with a stupid friend/neighbor/coworker/little brother. I got lucky when one of my buddies asked me to take a look at his xbox because it wasn't working. I went over and checked it out. Wasn't powering up. I looked around the back and the dummy had pulled the power cable out. I made motions like I was pushing on something and told him that it was fried. He asked if he should call Microsoft to get it repaired but I advised him that could get him in trouble since he has a pirated copy of XP on his computer. He let me have it for free and gave me all of his games.

Bahahahaah!

Because they probably didn't pay anything for this G5. More then likely they are using it as a "test drive" system from a local retail/electronic store. You know, if your interested and have decent credit they'll let you take the computer home to use it for a while to see if you like it enough to buy it.


Pretty stupid stuff.

(what makes it at the least bit interesting is that the next Xbox will probably be PowerPC based. Weither or not it will use Power970 chips I have no idea)

PS.
this one is the funny one

That was the most bass-akward retarded thing I've seen lately. What a waste of a good G5.

look at it again, does he show the g5 parts laid out? the only thing shown outside the case are the fans, which i'm sure are easy to remove.

One of the photos shows the XBox insides in the G5 case.
At least he didn't drill or cut the case. I hope he put the G5 back in after he took the photos.

I have been feeling a little guilty about causing so many people out there to have nightmares, depression and sickness from my little joke. The reaction of people word wide has blown me away. I never intended for such a thing to happen.

My in box went from 1% to 100% in 2 days (1300 messages). So many people were pointing out what a stupid thing to do, so many people were telling me of feeling sick, some even said they cried. I felt bad for those people. It was amusing to read things like "I should be hung by my testicles and lit on fire" or the constant reference to "Taking a Porsche and replacing the engine with a KIAs". Most people cried out in horror and carefully pointed out the error of doing such a silly thing.

I am sure you are wondering why this all took place.

Are the pictures real? Yes.
Is it my own G5 case that has been cut and hacked? Yes.
Did I give away two G5 2GHz processors (IBM PC 970)? No!
So what happened?

I got a free G5 shell from a buddy of mine and pulled a prank on a Mac loving friend. He got so upset. I wrote up a little story, my imagination and warped sense of humor kicked in. I sent it to OC.com just to see the reaction. I honestly didn't think it was going to be posted. I cannot believe how fast or how far it has spread on the internet. There are an amazing number of people who are emotionally attached to inanimate objects such as computers. Mac fans seem to be much worse that I ever expected. The G5 is amazing, I would never dream of really doing that

aye, and just like the last hoax, he could have just acquired a case.

And just because I listen to Blondie doesn't mean I'm gay. Assholes.

:evil:

Pretty funny. As I was reading through it I noticed the Beretta 9mm in the list of tools and did a double take-wondering what that might be used for.

Really though, it's his Mac, who cares what he does to it? He could use it as a boat anchor for all I care.

It was kind of a waste of time though.

 

[Perplx]

Its really not that impressive. If they cut the bars at the top of the G5 they probbably could of got the whole xbox (with case) to fit in.
Its like modding a gamboy into a washing machine.
