While the G5 can still be useful, there's already an OS and software it won't run. The Mac Mini is faster than his G5. The MacPro of course would be a lot better but it's 4 times t…

I would not switch to a Mac mini: - slower, more expensive hard drive and more expensive optical drive (if you ever want to replace it) - only one HD and one optical drive - non…

Still going strong, why get a mini? a newer vid card for the G5, more memory and a faster HDD... come to about 250.00 and more speed... That is what I did and my G5 screams... 16…

Well, I've finally got the right-sized piccies for the different DeclROMs in question: Duo MiniDock: socketed 32 pin PLCC DeclROM DuoDock: SMT 32 pin _________ DeclRom Duo…

Dual 1.8 GHz Power Mac G5 purchased new - April 2004 IIRC. Upgraded to 1.5 GiB and OS 10.5, still going strong. I hope to upgrade to a Mini next spring/summer, but that may not ha…

the reason why Apple didn't keep going with the G5... There are 6 parts to it... in the end it's Jobs that said "Apple And Microsoft need each other"

I think the main problem with PowerPC is that the G4 was stuck at around 1.6 GHz, and the G5 was just too hot and power hungry to ever put into a laptop.

I hopefully can keep my G5 for a long time, I Love the design.... simplistic and tough... I recieved my Mac Mini from Ebay Mini 2009 model and it seems that my G5 is just as fast,…

Hey jt, how much effort does it take to make all of those smilies and bolds and underlines and italics that are so customary to your posts? : Click to expand... =8-P A LOT les…

Where are you located and how much do you want for it?

Genuici= Genius's, I made up a word. :scrambled:

You mightve taken my comment incorrectly. I wasn't laughing at you. I was laughing at the fact Mike was making fun (Well not really) of Apple Geniuci

:lol: :scrambled: Your an Apple Genius?

Simply beautiful. Thank you!

Anybody want this thing? Click to expand... Yet another reason a photo of your system is important.

Anybody want this thing? The case was modded to include a fan, so if you want it, you may need the case as well. The floppy mech is toast. I need the analog board for my regular…

I tried taking out the battery, reseating the CPU card and everything else again, waiting, pressing the red button, and still nothing. Pressing the power button starts the fans run…

Yeah I am just kidding. |)

I will definitleyly try that. May be I should scour a 1.42ghz Drive cover so that they do that to this one! Click to expand... I wouldn't recommend doing that purposefully. It…

Before you dare touch a soldering iron again, go down to the local thrift / goodwill / junk shop and pick up the oldest VCR they have and practice until you have a confident method…

Noisy either way, and irritatingly so. When I get around to cleaning the PS, I will also oil the fan or else replace it, and as the drive is dead anyway, I'll install something qu…

Don't solder anything yet. Try asking Apple first. Call 1-800-SOS-APPL or whatever their phone number is. Talk to the first guy, who will probably deny the repair, then ask to spea…
