Does it have the serial number? Could run it through the decoder. http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel Other than that I don't think you can tell. You'd know if it was…

Got in a G5 PCIE Tower of some kind (the specs sticker is gone and there is a refurbed by Apple sticker in its place). Can't power it up because those models use a heavy duty power…

Guess I should specify G5 PSU's lol.

Guess I have bad luck with supplies atx supplies I work on always seem to have at least one mosfet burned up.

I started another thread in the hack section, Since its more of a project than a "Feeler"  now. 

Pretty sure most PSU issues are bad caps, I think some have tried to recap them.

Guys, I have a discrepancy here.  Designing cards and drivers for macintosh, and the original portable developer notes list the slot like this:  but...  Guide to the macintosh…

I am no expert, but from what I understand, heat is the issue with the logic boards, or was with mine. The chipset is a BGA chip with solder balls/pads on the bottom of it instead …

Technight... we are all chomping at the bit!!! Can't wait!!!

my CPLD development board came in today. Cool little thing. Now just waiting on the JTAG.  better start working on the PCB layout, but I need to come up with a footprint/pin for t…

I'd be in for two also, it sounds like it's coming along well.

I am sure you do Techknight.. I am sure you do!!! Sign me up to purchase your product!!! I know others that will buy too.. And of course I bet a ton of people on here.. Uni prob…

the only way to expand it past 5MB is to use the PDS slot.  Well, I got other ideas.... 

Hey TechKnight… So I've got a Kingston 4MB card for a 5126 and three.. yes that is three weird RAM upgrades that bring my 5120's and 5126's up to 7MB.. I haven't figured out how to…

Good point on the DTK benchmarks. I looked and can't find anything official. This thread is entertaining though: http://community.thefoundry.co.uk/discussion/topic.aspx?f=34&am…

I have a velcro strap rack designed for shipping TSOPs.  it has 26 I think AM29LV320 FLASH TSOPs in it.  Those TSOPs I cant use, maybe I can ship the carton to you and you can fi…

An upgraded MDD is probably a better value then an early G5 especially the last OS 9 booting version (if classic means anything to you). The G4 series was one of the most upgradabl…

All the G5s run 10.4, but if you're looking for a Mac OS 9 system to run Mac OS 9 software, I wouldn't bother, compared to just putting a single really fast CPU into a Digital Audi…

People like the Quad G5s provided the LCS hasn't taken out the power supply and/or motherboard.  Once the LCS is rejuvenated it will be fine.  I think they will be a good collectab…

So air cooled models are the only ones worth getting then?
