How I PC'd an Apple G5
Several computer-tech related web sites publish articles (or HOW-TOs) detailing how a new motherboard was installed into an old or unusual case, or how a case has been tricked out with a frozen nitrogen cooling system for the CPU so that it can be overclocked to 99.5 GHz. However, This article on how a gent converted his a $3,000 Apple Dual G5 to an Athon 2400 system (less than $1,000) is in a somewhat different vein. You see, it was a hoax. It appears as if some people just can't take a jok... The reaction to the hoax from induhviduals of the Mac community was so quick and brutal that it quite caught the author off guard. Wired also has an article on the whole affair, which I find enormously hillarious.
