Well. Recently, I entered club and saw a big machine on the table. It was an apple G5. After the inital wow and hoo, I opened the casing to take a look what is inside.

When I took out the cover, I realize the cover was really solid and quite heavy duty.And the cover has some rubber strip like those you find in air-tight container. I will explain what I believe this is for in the later part of this post.

Taking a looking inside, this is what it is.If you look clearly, there is an acrylic cover with an curve depression in the center of the acrylic. So why there is a curve? If you notice carefully, there is 2 fan in the front. The curve acrylic cover is to ensure that all wind from the fan go to the heat and not escape by the small hole (if without the curve part, there will be hole).

There is also 1 big heat sink as this machine contain 2 power pc processor.

I know the following picture is pretty blur, but the picture actually show the 8 ram slot in this machine. I repeat 8 ram slot.

My final words: I am very impressed with Apple. This machine is launched at 2003 yet till today, it is still impressive. Apple G5 has a marvelous hardware designed. It is engineered after many thought and in-dept thinking. It look at the every single small details and try to make it perfect. That explain why this casing design still existing in today's Mac Pro.

PS: Photo may be blur as it was taken with my handphone camera as I did not bring my digital camera.
