A few months ago, I found a dual processor Power Mac G5 and took it home. Unfortunately, the liquid cooling unit leaked and destroyed the motherboard and processors. It's also missing a couple of fans and a hard drive. I want to fix it, but I don't want to spend a whole bunch of money on it either.

I was thinking about buying a less expensive single core processor and motherboard:

Any suggestions?
