A nice find.

Yes, I have a liquid cooled too, and I'm trying to repair it :–( I believe it's a Quad-Core.

Here are the eBay photos of it!

This would be my second PowerBook Duo 230, which I obtained from eBay for a mere $15, sold as-is for parts, as the previous owner could not get it to power on. My guess is they did…

Thanks, and dad says thanks!  He's much better today than he was earlier this week, but the hospital would not release him today. He will be released on Monday. It was something he…

Hi Nicole. Hope your da makes a full recovery girl. Tell him theres a big 'shout out' to him from Ireland and to get himself back here asap - we need his brains!!!! weh hey!

Actually, this is Elfen's youngest daughter Nicole while he is in the hospital with a severe allergy reaction he's recovering from. Dad has taught his girls a great deal about comp…

Cheers Elfen. This machine is 1 of a haul of about 20 macs I got from a guy in cork who spent years 'fiddeling' with macs. When I got there they were all in a mobile home, that wa…

Typical SE, though the scratches and other things on the board looks like somebody tried to tamper or repair it and did not know what they were doing. Fourth pic down, looks like …

Heres a few pictures of an SE I got in a lot last year. The front case is totally smooth. Back case looks like ordinary se case. Don't know whats original or swapped. I opened it…

I was wondering if anyone tried recapping the bad power supply in a PowerMac G5. If that is the problem with them. Is bad caps the cause of so many PowerMac G5 logic board Issues.

Even if it runs it won't last for long. The first generation G5's have a terrible reputation for dropping dead due to RoHS problems and thermal flexing, not to mention the LCU equ…

I think they went with Aluminum cases for heat reasons as well. Apple has a history of using plastic cases (easier to style) whiles PCs were metal boxes.

I'm guessing they need all that extra space for airflow, I wonder how that cool that machine could stay if it used the case as an extension of the heatsink..

I was surprised they ran 10.3. Should check to see if I need a patch installed since mine is the first model. Kind of funny how large the G5 tower is yet only holds 1 optical and …

Yep . . . but that friggin' cheese grater. Maybe some graphite grillwork?

Trash: the earliest G5s came from the factory with a special G5-specific build of Mac OS X 10.2, and all subsequent models had some version of 10.3 or 10.4. A late-model G5 from b…

For me, I always felt the G5 never lived up to its Hype,   or my expectations. Back in 03, man it really seem'd like the G5 CPU was the next best thing since sliced bread. And, i…

Holy crap! http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g5/specs/powermac_g5_quad_2.5.html

Interesting, the early G5 runs 10.4? What was the lastest, fastest G5 that ran Classic under 10.4.6 me wonders?

Yes, each logic board is keyed to the CPU speed. Pain in the rear, as you can imagine. Like 8 different PSU combinations too.

Browsing ebay late at night before bed can make for some odd acquisitions. Today I got in the original model G5 1.6Ghz in pretty decent condition. Sold for $30 shipped (one of tho…

Thanks, G. Solved it by creating a bootable flash drive and that worked well. Your solution would probably have worked too. (I need to also test my firewire cable, it may be defect…

Can you simply reverse things, IE, put the G3 into target disk mode, boot the G4 off the install disk, and select the G3's hard disk as the install target? Last time I checked that…

I have hit a snag in trying to get one of my iBook 500s loaded with 10.4. I am trying to do target disk mode from a G4 iBook to the recipient G3 500 iBook. I can put the host 1.33 …
