ok, we all saw the PM leak...the board was wrong (showing a smaller board with long connector), the ram slots were wrong (only 4 and vertically placed), the heatsink was one piece (the heatsink is two pieces, one for each processor)...
so did apple give this picture to somebody to find the leak (maybe changing one thing on many photos...some get 8 ram, some 4, some verticle, some horizontal...some get large heatsink, some get small, some get short board, some get full board, etc etc... so do you think somebody was just screwed or do you think somebody with photoshop was fucking with .com?? and do you think thinksecret is next with the monitors...or are they really coming without adc and one foot?? thanks g crazy is not a rare human condition everything is food if you chew hard enough |

i've always wondered why they didn't try harder to expose leaks. but then again, i suppose that this info is being handed out to thousands of people once it reaches the point that it's in a tech doc. file.
as for the monitors, i hope that's correct. ADC has been the biggest stupid thing Apple has done in a long time. i really don't want them to go back down the "our way or the highway" mode they'd been in for so long. |

Yeah, that was a total bullcrap, wasn't it? And, like you say, it makes me question that borderline-goofy display at ThinkSecret.com
I wouldn't mind all the technical info being right (although ADC sure makes for a nice, clean desk/set-up), but it kinda looks...I don't know, un-Apple? Would a curve or two kill them? |

I don't mind the austere look of the TS images for the new monitors. But with the updated G5 models still having ADC and DVI, I'm not too sure about ADC being totally removed. On the other hand, maybe the inclusion of ADC on the updated G5s is purely for legacy purposes and the new displays are, indeed, sans ADC.
I think about the "leaks" as well, and wonder whether it was intentional by Apple to provide different images, as you suggested g, in an effort to locate the source. Would be interesting if they followed it up somehow and it made news, such as "xxx" website or supplier denied any access to advance/upcoming product info from Apple, but I doubt we'll see that. :shrugs: |

Okay, for some reason every time I mention this nobody has an answer. Isn't it possible that the leaked logic board pics were pics of the logic board being used with the 975 chip @ 3 Ghz? You know they have to redesign at least part of the logic board for PCI Express, to accomodate the new ATi and nVidia cards. So new logic board, new chipset, doesn't seem that unlikely to me that those pics are of the upcoming 975 based G5s.

Oh, I misunderstood the whole thing. I was under the impression the board was smaller and more was hidden, but there were still the same amount of RAM slots, just not visible.
It's what I get for drawing shit I don't understand. |

I would like to see a good picture of the insides of the dual 2.5. I'm pretty sure I have not found em yet, I dont see anything that looks like it could possibly be a liquid cooling system in the links from Apple unless they did a damn good job of hiding it.
