Well.. the G5 tower is pretty much default or stock with the exception of the hard-drive. The originally sell for some reason (i suspect security) didn't ship it with the tower. So right now I've installed a spare drive but new in to the lower bay. Installed Leopard directly of the retail disk cause again the seller didn't include any software! Not to worry... I have tons of unused MacOS System software... Just missing system 6 retail and system 7.01 retail :beige:

The Apple diagnostic disks/programs are pretty machine specific. Most of my experience is with G4 Powerbooks, and the basic rule I've seen is that the disk for a machine one or two revisions newer then yours (in the same family) *might* work to test your unit, but an older disk will never work on a newer one.
