these are powermacs, not imacs, i didn't think they get bad caps

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…

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. Click to expand... You have to add …

Absolutely the better of the two, especially if you can pick it up cheap with a parts/broken 1400c for spares. The difference in quality between the c and cs is astonishing.

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…

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…

Only better because of the awesome write up.

This sounds like a better deal.

Sounds like a solid plan. I've got everything packed up to head back to university, so I'll check it out later tonight when I get there.

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…

depends, you could solder a new one on, but if the original issue that fried it in the first place is still there, you will have just burned out another first place id look is to …

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…

Thanks a lot man. Would the fix just be to solder on a new one? That is if it is the part you think it is of course.

I cant find anything for those numbers (damn apple using noname china knockoffs) it appears to be a fet, but with what stats i dunno might try abit harder when i get home from wor…

Make sure the batteries are installed correctly (+ and - in the correct orientation). Does the PS click at all when you try to turn it on? Check for leaking capacitors and that t…

is there any print left on "the black box" (probably a voltage regulator) Click to expand... unfortunately the print has been completely burnt off. However it does look exactly…

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 pretty sure you have to upload them somewhere else and link to them. Try this free service: http://imageshack.us/

It's maybe an exaggeration to take the statement "there are no 64-bit PowerPC apps" and add all of those extra qualifiers to it. There may be a few, I don't know whether or not Ape…

I think benchmarks are shit too, and they favor Intel Macs over PPC Macs somehow. Everything is optimized for x86, many times more effort has been put into optimizing x86 compilers…

Check the motherboard for leaking caps.

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 …
