[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 981111, member: 56379"] Thanks for the info, I didn't know that. Yeah...taking the back off is really really easy...just three phillips screws!:) It's funny & amazing how many times Apple "reinvents the wheel!". Once they seem to find the perfect design for user accessibility...with the next model they will redesign the case...maybe improving it in some ways, but at the same time removing positive features. It does seem sort of strange that Apple would have gone from the iMac G5 with the easy to open case, to the iMac G5 iSight with the harder to open case. I do seem to remember reading that the iMac G5 iSight model was supposed to be "thinner & lighter" than previous models...so I guess that could be the reason for the case redesign. My only complaint with the iMac G5 I purchased, is the fan is a bit noisy. It doesn't seem to take much graphics or video demand to kick the fan(s) into high gear. But then I know that fan noise & G5 CPU heat was an issue with the G5 CPU's. It's a great computer...and really great for $100!:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
