Rescued a Sawtooth G4/500DP and a Quicksilver 867mhz G4 from my employer when they were bought out by a bigger company. I now work for the other company and am still working on rescuing a G4 Mini and maybe a G5 or two.

Unfortunately the Quicksilver has a bad power supply. It won't turn on at all. This used to be my workstation before the PS failed. There's still some good software on the hard drive.

Unfortunately the Quicksilver has a bad power supply.

You can convert an ATX power supply with relative ease. My adventures (on a DA, but with links to the information you need) begin here. If there are any dead links, copy and paste them into the Wayback Machine.

Thanks, Bunsen. Hopefully I'll have some time as the weather gets colder to start on some of my many Mac-related projects.
