Browsing ebay late at night before bed can make for some odd acquisitions.
Today I got in the original model G5 1.6Ghz in pretty decent condition. Sold for $30 shipped (one of those $.99 cent auctions plus shipping).
I think the cases are cool looking (and this one looked pretty clean) so I bid .99 expecting to not win. Oddly enough it works fine after I loaded OSX 10.4 on it, just needed a HD.
Are all the G5 towers pretty much custom builds (FSB, programming for specific CPUs, motherboards all different, etc)? I can see why Apple said the hell with it and went x86 so fast after switching to the G5.
I wonder what is faster my Dual 1.33 MDD or the G5 1.6.
