Open Secret | A secret known only to close pals is that I used to work for American computer manufacturer Dell Inc., but has been a devout Apple computer user since the mid-1980s. Hence, have used my Dell's annual bonus across multiple years to purchase the lastest & greatest Apple/MacOSX mini-tower computers. To my knowledge, there were only 5 Apple/MacOSX users at Dell's corporate HQ in Round Rock-Texas, hence we were a close-nitch bunch.
G4 Interior View : This Apple G4 Silver computer is also called a "G4 Mirror Drives Doors" to differentiate from other G4 Aqua and Silver variants. Elegance and simplicity of Apple's clamshell design provides easy access to all internal components. ( more info )
