Interest in PCI Powermacs? — #1

Is there much interest in PCI Powermacs these days? Seems like 68K Compacts and Quadras are still popular, and G4 towers and newer are also, what about the 6x00, 7500-9600?

How much can I get for my G5? — #23

That's about in line with average prices, considering I bought a dual 2.7 G5 for $550 on eBay sans video card and HDD. Whoever was saying 1500 was way out. You can get an early M…

Why the unusual frequency? — #21

Boxed PM 7100+ Duo Dock for the cost of shipping! — #2

Nice haul - the 7100 is such a solid piece of kit, getting to RAM slots a pain though! The Duo Dock could be suffering from the common bad power supply problem, or it could be the…

Ebay seller macmetex is still stocking the 540c 33MHz CPU modules for like a buck for two. They're a drop-in replacement, and he's a reliable guy.
