That goes without saying :-) I'm hoping to track down an extension lead or connectors to save damage to a PSU in case I want to use it as ATX again - assuming I go for it though. > >unless there's more bits missing when I investigate closer! > > If the Logic board, CPU and all the fittings for the drives are there, > there is no reason why you can't build it up into a tidy system.

My main concern is the overall cost once it is up and running again. I've seen B&W G3s for just over the 100ukp for system unit only on eBay, and this barebones looks likely to be about 50ukp, which feels a bit high to me, but I'm no Mac expert. The intact beige ones look likely to be a similar price. I'll probably get there and find that is a good price and as a result they've gone!! ** end quote [Mark Benson] -- Paul Tansom | Aptanet Ltd. | http://www.aptanet.com/ -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
