    If you actually had some intellectual capacity, you would perhaps see I didn't mean it in a psychological sense. Women have penis envy, according to Freud, which causes them great grief.

    The penis here is a fast, quiet, cheap computer, and the fact that another poster got one that dwarf's Apple's overpriced cheese grater has caused you great grief. Hence:
  • Why you responded to a PC building thread anyway though you're a Mac user
  • Why you insulted the design of the case
  • Why you insulted my SO

    Somebody is jealous, but is probably not bright enough to even realize it.

    I don't see JohnT posting half naked pics of his SO on here. You did, so expect some comment.
    I did a long time ago in another thread, this is about the fourth time you've made a crack about the appearance of my SO. Which tells me that you have issues, and that you need to move on and stop insulting people's SOs.

    The G5 design is completely functional - the grill is there because it is needed, as are the handles. Your computer has some strange molding on the front that makes it look like a bad designer cabinet from the 60s.
    The grill is not needed, nor are the handles. I'll note that the Athlon 64s are hotter than the PowerPC 970s, and I don't have any grill at the front of my case making it look like some kind of toaster oven from a 1950s film on the "home of the future".

    The "moulding" is an outter bevel to house the air filter (of which the G5 has none). It sucks in fresh air from the sides of that moulding, then filters it, then supplies it to the rest of the case. It is indeed quite functional, moreso than the cheaper route of poking holes in the front of your case and pretending it's stylish.

    And for you, this would be the most important feature to base your purchase decision on, right?

      What's the best way of tiding up those wires, anyways? Mine are still bunched up like in your pic. (But I did take some consideration into where I bunched them up to allow air flow, of course)

        It may be possible to remove much of the wires that you're not using (I've got a ton of extra ATA power cables). If that's not possible, it's best to use plastic tie things (or even twist-ties should work). Clump together nearby wires and duck them away in the sides of the case. I'm putting mine in by the empty drivebay to put it out of the way, in clumps tied with plastic ties.

          I blue. It's my favorite color by far.

            There isn't any other sense. If you want to bastardize psychoanalytic terms, that's your problem - just don't expect educated people to understand what you say or to think you are clever.

            To suggest I'm jealous of you is a bit of a joke - in fact, while we're in Freud mode, it seems to me that you suffer from narcissism.

            For one I thank god I'm not gay. For another, I thank god I don't have to use Windows, and once more that I don't live in Calgary.

              I don't expect educated people to understand, I expect intelligent people to understand. Some people are highly educated, while dumb as sh*t. They can even teach, say, Philosophy courses.

              I do, it's true.

              You're not fooling anyone, Agathon. Cut your losses.

              You trolled a thread about a new PC and insulted my SO, it's patently obvious that you've got an axe to grind and somehow feel threatened or, more likely, jealous...

                **** you, you loser. You're quite content to do this to other posters (and rather more nastily and not long ago I might add), but whine like a stuck pig when it happens to you.

                    I don't insult people's SOs unless they do it to me. JohnT insulted mine, so I insulted his (with a wink, even).
                    You've directly insulted mine no less than four times.

                    You are the loser. Not to mention how you're trolling and looking like an ass inside a PC thread.

                      Now the thread has been inundated with Mac users with an IQ of 10 who think it's fun and fine to repeatedly insult my SO because I bought a new computer.

                          And Agathon... you seem to be one of the main instigators here... so if you want to continue posting in the next few days, I would recommend you DON'T personally insult another member again.

                              If I were religious, I'd pray for you.

                              /me has no idea why it took Agathon four times of insulting my SO before he even got in trouble, and even then it was only an indirect warning.
