Rig of the Week: The ATX G4
This week's rig features one of the best-looking G4s you'll ever see. Enterprising reader :: Jonathan transplanted the guts from his destroyed G4 into an ATX case he had lying around. Sure, the power buttons didn't line up and the had to do some sawing to make the ports accessible, but the important thing is that he saved a Mac. Good job.ATX G4 posted by :: Jonathan.

Maybe he was making a joke?

Even if we're talking strictly tower configurations of the PowerMac G4, there's the original Quicksilvers to consider.
That thing is hideous!

I recommend skipping the week versus running this level of crap
My actual PC looks 10 times better than that. There's a million ATX cases that could've been used that would've at least made the transplanted G4 aesthetically pleasing. That looks like a bad logitech experiment from 1997.

Period.
That's the ugliest rig ever - even for a "PC", that's still ugly.
Props for the innovation, but blech - it's like one of those 3rd world plastic surgeries gone horribly wrong.
