Partly because of the same reason there's no G5 Powerbook yet; the G5 
generates way too much heat to package that small. This is not a 
trivial problem. Google for an interior view of the G5 tower. The seven 
fans, massive heat heat sink and liquid cooling system isn't there to 
make it *look* cool...

Sorry Bruce, but I think the G5 looks awesomely *cool*! ;)
