In today’s digital age, issues with structure, access, cooling, and electrical emissions from your appliances are real.

Consisting of only five major architectural parts, the Power Mac G5 solves all of the above challenges in a highly refined manner. The Cinema Display’s advanced hinge technology and peripheral support give you flexibility to place your display anywhere and adjust it effortlessly.

The Power Mac G5 is one of the fastest personal computers on the market. To complement this 64-bit processor breakthrough, Apple’s desktop tower has been designed from the inside out so that the case and internals fit together for maximum thermal efficiency. Consisting of only 5 major architectural parts, this assembly solves the challenges of structure, access, cooling and electrical emissions in a highly refined manner. To achieve this, all design, system and performance objectives were distilled to ensure an optimized system in every respect.

A locking mechanism on the side door prevents unauthorized access, keeping the inside of your computer safe from tampering. Front-mounted I/O and headphone connectors provide quick access to frequently used ports.

The Power Mac G5 provides users with up to two 64-bit G5 processors reaching top speeds of 2.5GHz, room for up to 8GB of main memory, pro performance graphics cards and ultrahigh-bandwidth system architecture that deliver more results than systems costing twice as much. This allows them to be more productive in less time. The heat produced by such a powerful machine is quietly dispersed through liquid cooling technology and computer-controlled fans that can be activated separately and only when needed.

The light weight also allows the Cinema Display to be wall-mounted, permitting the user to place a monitor wherever it best meets her/his needs. Its LCD technology saves the user money, as it requires less power to run, and its design is better for the environment, as it uses less material to construct and ship.
