I have tested the Plus by letting it sit for a few hours, and I found that the screen grew wider as it warmed up.

Time for a recap, I think.

Also, I was offhandedly looking at the partially disassembled Quadra 840av this evening, and I think I know why the internal speaker wasn't sounding- the surround is crumbling. I don't know if that would cause it to fail altogether, but it seems at least plausible that it could.

I have also made some progress with the G5. I put the stock 320 GB hard drive from my Mac Pro in it, and it worked fine. It runs quite Tiger well, but the fans keep ramping up when I do anything. It probably needs a) a good cleaning of the fans and heat sinks, B) new thermal paste, and c) recalibration of the temp sensors and other things which determine fan speed (how do I do this, I wonder?).

It's fine for now, though, and I'll probably do a and b when I swap to the new case (which should arrive this week). I need to do more research regarding c, though (which I will probably do first, or should I do it last?)

I don't know... these G5s are new to me (though conceptually they are very similar to most other computers out there, I believe).

Also, I got the Q950 floppy bezel and cable! Now all I need is a CD-ROM bezel...

I was going to get olePigeon's 950, but now I'm not so sure.

We'll see...
