For the record, my girlfriend and I annihilated Mr. B/W with 2 sledgehammers about 4 years back one beautiful sunny summer afternoon after using 5 different working HDs from other G3/G4 macs and 2 days of troubleshooting. Something more creative, fun, proactive and not actually impossible to get working is to retrofit a G4 logic board and power supply in it's place and call it the magical cure. That would be a pretty good looking G4.
