I was told many times that the liquid cooled Apples were a mistake. But I take issue with that, the technologic and industrial design was an Apple stroke of genius necessary to cool the monster processors, The problem was the manufacturer of the LCS's, "Delphi" (a GM company) was chosen and if you take a look at GM's quality track record over the last 30 years then it's telling why Panasonic saved the day. But Apple had a lot of machines out there before the problem became an issue hence the bad mark. I can fix the Delphi's and make those super G5 PM PPC machines run with the big dogs, However the folks that own most of them are professionals and don't have the where with all nor the time to do this. If you can snag a Panasonic LCS ( make sure to get the intake bezel or fashion one) It's a good choice, this machine is the last, fastest and finest PPC Apple produced. IMHO a work of industrial art. And a carrot is Apple has dropped the Mac Pro so the big box is a thing to admire. I call mine "Stanley" after the "Stanley Steamer" My friends are in awe to see a Mac with two water pumps and a radiator. My Mac Pro althohgh air cooled (Neil) is a fine companion to this work horse. :-) I guess I'm a little biased being a CNC programer and manufacturer.
