Intel iMac disassembled

[Dazzla Veteran]

Yeah, not sure why people are saying it's fake because of the optical drive placement. The iSight iMacs (PPC and Intel) both have to have the front taken off so any gut shots will be with the drive on the right hand side, all rev A iMacs had the back removed so the gut shots would've shown the drive on the left.

He took the front off, so you are looking at it as if you were using the iMac. Based upon that and the location of the optical drive, it's not fake.

For the rest...it's messy because he took the front off instead of the back. You'll notice on the originating website that he has taken apart G5 iMacs as well from the front. http://mactree.sannet.ne.jp/%7ekodawarisan.../imacg501i.html They look similar. Now if you take the back off, as Apple intended... (hi res of Gr iMac) http://mrjcd.com/junk/iMac_inside/

You got pics of that locally so i can mirror it?

I started mirroring for kodawarisan yesterday....

Look at the throughput since last night (last spike is FlyAKite 3.0 going up).

What kind of idiot would butcher a machine like that? He bent back the foil?

He probably has alot of money and doesn't give a ****. People are curious to a fault sometimes. All a Mac is is a bunch of PC parts assembled in a stylish fashion. OSX and its outter design are the only thing that makes it different. Even though I myself want one I stuggle to find a reason why its worth so much more than a normal PC other than Apple being a hardware company and thats just the price they ask to be in the club.

I don't. If you are mirroring that part as well, post the link and I'll edit my post.

a lot of companies get evaluation machines they end up not using, that's my guess

It doesn't really matter that it's a mess inside, iMacs aren't something you really update.

This is probably a better comparison. As you can see, the Rev. C iMac w/ iSight is internally very similar to the Intel iMac -- that's when Apple re-designed the interior to shave an inch off in thickness.

They also changed the accessibility from the rear of the unit to the front.
