The Power Macintosh G5 was was released in 2003 into a sea of technological challenges and change. What looked like the next great chapter for PowerPC ended up bringing it to an end. I talk about how it all went down and interesting details about the machine along the way. From the 1.6GHz lowend machine to the topend "G5 Quad". The allmetal accessible case, the watercooled CPU, 64bit, OS X, new monitors and a karaoke machine companion product.
