it did die out a long time ago (I have ordered stuff from the original ages ago). He opened a newer site a few years back (2007-2008) selling laptop parts, and that crashed and bu…

The Color OneScanner 1200/30 is one of my more-used toys: This came from it, via a Quadra 650 that has since died (fixing it is on my little list of things hopefully to be done du…

I've had my Centris 650 for many years, and I don't recall there ever being a "power brick" for it. Simple power cord is all I've ever used.

This pic gives a good sense of the mess the machine was in. It's still hard to believe it came up so well with just a clean. Click to expand... Nice ColorOne scanner I real…

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…

the heatsinks could have lifted from the cpu's during shipping, you could check that.

I'd like to see my workbench. It's buried under a metric flockload of carp at the moment. Click to expand... Is that a volume of birds or fish?

check for dust in the heatsinks. Also, you may have to reapply CPU Grease, that may be the main issues if it's not dust when there is overheating

All my 9500 woes were caused by the G3 CPU card, I must have reseated it 15 times before the machine eventually booted.

Good thing is that the processors aren't too expensive. http://cgi.ebay.com/PAIR-OF-APPLE-POWERMAC-G5-2-0Ghz-PROCESSORS-630-6425_W0QQitemZ270463905178QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCPUs?hash=…

and are you going to move to Macpro..? do you see benefits of ditching your machine in favor of a macpro (besides speed)...? How often do you buy Mac's? Jim Click to expand...…

Oh.... Does anyone have a copy of SMCfanControl for pre-intel machines? I'd like to bump up the fan speed see is it due to heat... might be a dry joint.

Well, there's 4Gb of ram in there spread over six sticks - that's how it arrived. Four of them seem to be stock Samsung stuff (what Apple seems to use) and the other two are Kings…

It does sound like a bad CPU or bad RAM, unfortunately. If you have spare DDR anywhere, I would try that first. The heat-related symptoms does lead me to suspect that it's probably…

Hiya all, some of you might of notice I recently acquired a very, very cheap PPC G5 2Ghz (DP), sub $150 system). Now as far as I'm aware this model doesn't have liquid cooled CPU'…

Silly question, but did you try replacing the PRAM battery? Click to expand... Yep. I actually took out the PCI cards and it works fine...

It is a Mac edition card. I have a Sawtooth G4 with the same card that runs Leopard as my server. Hopefully this will be come my OS9 gaming machine (if I can find a cheap LCD).

i will have pictures in a few days, it probably won't be powered on though

That or it's an Australian thing. Cool conquest anyways - plan on taking any pictures?
