I got a call 2 days later and was told that this macs liquid cooling system exploded and destroyed everything except the hard drives and ram and it would be not worth repairing.


I did really feel so bad because i put that thing through the ringer. It would render HD footage for 2 weeks strait. I edited over 150 scenes 20,000 photos on that thing.



So i had a very busy week. I shot 8 scenes and didnt check my messages all week(my friends know to text me). Came back to the Mac store to pic up my broken Mac and a brand new 8 core mac. Then the lead Genious comes up and says here is your Mac G5 all fixed with brand new parts.


??? I was way out of warenty and he further told me it was done for free and i was not going to be charged the $85 service charge to see what was wrong.


This was yesterday and im still in shock. Can anyone explain this one??
