Its gotta be loud as hell. Especially if its a dual processor. All the fans that are needed for such a confined space.

Vood, it's not actually a G5 in there. It's got the guts of a regular G4 Cube, just the case mod to make it look like the new cheese grater cases.

HA! Jeb beat me to that.

Yeah, you can see the old G4 Cube innards in one of the shots.  So it's a G4 Cube with a USB Hub in a case mod made to look like a G5.  

It probably still gets hot since it doesn't have the convection cooling now (unless he added a fan)
