Do they actually have any prices listed? I did not get to browse at all because the shit-scripts on that site killed firefox pretty quickly.

They probably need the motherboards recapped and that costs $100+ to send out and have it done (each plus shipping). Anybody who buys broken equipment that cannot troubleshoot or f…
these are powermacs, not imacs, i didn't think they get bad caps

They also get logic board issues, some are bad capacitors. I also seen some stock video card…

It's because it's an original 128k, complete with all original packaging

Actually it's not original, nor complete. It will have a 512K board in it, or at lea…
Yes, but this auction does list a Hyperdrive Mac. It is interesting though how 7 people have bid up the price to nearly $1300 in spite of the fact the seller says the Hyperdrive i…

My Dual 2.7 G5 is more than powerful enough for what I do - lots of CAD, some 3d rendering and light photo and SD video editing. So far, I see no reason to upgrade to an intel sys…
Any problems they have won't be linked to leaking cooling devices. All 2.0GHz models are strictly air cooled. For $100 it sounds like a winner. If they showed up here, I'd go fo…
I agree, go for it. It's tough to imagine any scenario in which you couldn't get more than $100 parting them out if they turned out to be unfixable. And as others have said, if one…

Does the PS click at all when you try to turn it on?
Check for leaking capacitors and that t…

Definitely looks like bad / dirty VRAM to me. Try removing the VRAM SIMM and cleaning the gold fingers with a clean pencil eraser. This problem may be affected by bumping the mac…

I'm sure the parts are worth more than $100 easy. There is a small market just for the G5 tower case for Mods and those can fetch about $100 each. Then there is the possibility …
