I was looking on craigslist today and saw a PM G5 2.3GHZ 2004 model and the guy wanted 225.00 B/C he said it was shutting down programs by itself, programs not the OS or the hardware..

I go over there and the unit was in good condition I offered him 200.00 he said he would throw in a AP extreme card then it would be 225.00, I said ok..

I get it home and clean it up, change the battery for the pram... then I noticed something rattling inside... I shake the G5 upside down and 2 of the pci slot screws fell out (the slots had no slot covers or screws...

He had different brand memory besides the 512mb that was original, so I took the non original memory and kept the 512mb in...

So I check everything out and made sure no other screws were inside the unit...

I am using it now.. and it seems fine and ran a dvd for 2 hrs and it seems fine...

What do you think for the price?
