No idea - I've never heard of anyone claiming this. Now I did see that they built a homebrew G4 machine inside a PC-like case and installed one of those 5 1/4 bay PC's inside it and with a picture-in-picture kind of monitor managed to have OS X and Windows XP running in the same case. That was on The Screensavers and was pretty cool. I wouldn't mind sticking one of those bay PC's under the SuperDrive in my MDD 1.25 and running it off a second monitor - but I've got a multilevel desk in my office with 6 PCs on it already - I don't need another.
