my plans for my next mac....

So, I have decided that I will need to move from my trusty Cube to a tower so that I can test more hardware (video cards mostly). I decided to have some fun with it at least and bought a cheap Gigabit Ethernet tower on eBay which came with the same display I already have with my cube.

I have always loved the look of the Quicksilvers (and they match my desk so nicely), so I decided to buy a QS case and put the GigE innards into that case.... Once everything arrives, I'll take some pics. Basically, it will be a very wussy QS-looking g4 mac. hehe Unless some day I decide to buy a proc upgrade for it. *shrug* We'll see.
