15:23 - Mine would've sucked anyway

I've been meaning to post this link for a long time now, along with a bunch of supplementary photos of my own G5... but it's pretty clear by now that the latter just isn't going to happen. This last couple of months has really taken a lot out of me, and I'll be just as glad to have that vacation this week.
That said, check out these photos. They're really everything I could have hoped to capture, except for a few of the trivial and technical little details (which, who knows, maybe I'll fill in with some links later):
- The Serial ATA connectors for a second hard drive-- the power connector, which has the same form factor as the typical ATA drive plug, is about three times as bulky as the Serial ATA data connector itself, and they're both tucked under the plastic housing and retracted out of the way until you get a second disk
- the little round gray numbers for the PCI-X slots, inside on the motherboard
- The removable fan module for the CPUs
- The way the security latch on the back of the case snaps flush when you're not using it, but folds out and locks into place through a little hole in the latch so you can padlock the cover on
- The power cord, which is at the bottom of the case, dagnabbit, like where it's supposed to be razzam-frazzam-nobody-else-ever-thought-
about-this-consarn-it-so-it-doesn't-dangle-over-all-your-
other-cords-dad-gummit, and how the plug is designed to fit flush with the back of the case
- The way the CD drive drops vertically out of the way to let the tray come out-- beauty-ful
...Okay, so I'll have to get photos after all. Le sigh.
