The DA G4s cost me about $100. That was a real steal. I bought it with an "as-is" 2002 Quicksilver that had undiagnosed problems. I needed a power supply and motherboard, and I figured at least one of the three components would be good. And even at $100, that was a deal. PSU goes for about $75 - $100 on eBay, mobos are $50 - $75, and dual G4s cost upwards of $150.

I came out on the positive side with a power supply and dual G4 CPU module.

There are no issues using the dual CPUs on the DA board except the requirement for the extra 12 V (which I stole from a hard drive power connector).

Peace,
Drew
