My G4 is getting 'way up there in fan count - there's the big case fan, the slightly smaller power supply fan, the processor fan and the fan on the video card. Now, I've got a SuperDrive with its own little fan. That's a total of 5 fans - it's starting to feel like I got a G5 early! Not especially noisy, though - quieter than my old beige G3 with its total of one (1) fan, in fact.

Speaking of G5s, I got to see and fondle one at Simply Computing in Surrey yesterday. It looks much better in person than it does in pictures, but I don't think it's as good looking as a G4 tower. Very purposeful and businesslike, though. And BIG! It wouldn't fit in the CPU hole of my desk - it would have to go on top. I sure wish I could afford to put one there (sigh!).

Cheers :-> Bill

I find the G5 a bit utililarian when the side panel is on but with just the transparent cover in place it breaks up the structure and fit finish is so nice that I don't miss the elegance of the Cube on my desk.
