I like the G4 towers and will probably end up getting one someday, but what is wrong with their PS units? Seems like so many otherwise nice G4 towers end up getting parted because the now rare PS bites the dust. Somebody should have a run of cheap copies made in China and shipped here. This is common to all the ADC equipped G4's isn't it?
I am convinced that it is mainly that applies to the machines that had those god-ugly CRT Apple ADC Monitors hooked up. Usually because they are powered off of the PSU that is already weak. Mine has NEVER had an ADC Monitor hooked up to it. Thank you! The PSU is in excellent condition. I took it apart and no sign of any problems.

Also, yes, my System is DP Capable. That applies to all machines I believe since the Gigabit Ethernet G4s. The Sawtooth was a maybe, depending on the config. I have a GE G4 Dual 500Mhz in the SawTooth I have (that is sitting dormant)
