The processor itself isn't big, it's just a tiddly little square of silicon. The box contains the fins of the heatsink that keeps the processor cool & the fans blow/suck air across these fins.
Got a tip for us?

is that the rokit 5´s ? I got two Rokit 8s, clean sound but I figured I don´t really need speakers that play that loud. Anyway, KRK knows their stuff
Do you make music?
Nice machine! I just sold my Late 2005, dualcore 2ghz G5 this weekend. I miss having the ability to see the guts of ym G5. My mac pro doesn't do this
You must be running some legacy PPC apps?

My iPods are multiplying like rabbits. I should have tossed the wife's nano in there and we'd have one from every line.
Very nice; Apple products always seem to go well with wooden desks. What's that cool blue light contraption - is it a binary clock or something? Also do you find there's much difference between using the glossy display of the iMac side by side with the (I assume) non-glossy Dell monitor?
Cheers.
Calm down before you pass out.
I do wish that you could do that with Mac Pros (directly from Apple, not third-party) but I wouldn't be able to see it anyhow because my MP is on the right side of my monitor.

Yeah the blue thing is a binary clock.
Considering that one is glossy and one is matte, the color reproduction between the two screens is remarkably close and for the most part it doesn't bother me. Although the viewing angle on the iMac's screen isn't all that great because it's a PVA panel, and it's certainly not my favorite LCD, if you're looking at it head on the color is quite good -- almost as good as the Dell, which has the same IPS panel as the Apple 20" cinema displays. Given a choice, I would rather have had a matte display on my iMac. When it gets replaced, it will be a Mac Pro with a 30" monitor.

Yea those are Rokit 5's. My dad is a singer and we have these to listen to mixes. But i'm going to give them to him and get me some speakers that have a magnetic shield.
Those Swan M10's seem good for listening but don't know how powerful they are.
Awesome, really like it. May I ask why the G5 is on the desk rather than on the floor?
Really like this set up as well. I used to have a vx revolution and liked it a lot. I kinda regret selling it.

wait, you could have ordered the g5's straight from apple with a clear case??
The clear panel was (is) inside the removable aluminium side—you'd remove the aluminium door, and then remove the clear panel to access the components. It's supposed to help the airflow inside the G5. What deze has done is to remove the aluminium door and leave the acrylic panel in-place.
Edit: beaten to the punch by tobefirst. Oh, the irony…
What can I say?
You were more thorough, though, so I guess you aren't totally helpless. (; Ha.
Good lookin' setup you've got. those are the Bose Companion II's, right? How do you like them?
+1
Thinkin bout a pair for the new iMac in the office.
Gorgeous setup, love the Ryu.
Thanks, The sound quality is pretty nice especially for this price i love them.
May I ask where you found your clamp desk lamp? Looks like a fluorescent light, am I correct? I have an IKEA clamp light similar to that one, but yours is larger and mine emits a yellowish light instead of a fluorescent white light. It also makes a semi-annoying buzzing sound while powered on, but it's IKEA and it was cheap so what can I expect?
Not my picture but I used to own one of those pads. The name escapes me but I know I got it at Office Depot
CompUSA used to have them as well, but they've gone the way of the dodo.
I LOVE my BC2's. I can't believe the bass and sound that comes from that one driver in there. I give it a 9.5/10, just because I wanted BC3's
. But actually, I'm happy I got these, I thought they were dumb, I went into the store and tried them out, i could swear i turned it up so loud the whole mall went silent, the bass, percussion, everything, BUY IT. honestly, i think the BC3's are for people who want a separate bass module, what Bose calls the Acoustimass module. A step up from the BC2 in my opinion, tryed them all, would be the BC5, the new music monitors are AMAZING too.Yep, nice and simple
Great setup man!
Not so sure about simple, looks kinda sloppy to me, but otherwise SAWEET setup, that looks like a 23" for some reason
.yes you are correct it is a fluoresent light and it gives of a nice white light it can be too bright for some though. Its made by sylvania not sure what the model was. it alsome comes with a table stand if you dont want to clamp it.
