Just go on ebay and see how > many you find described as: "parts only" or "won't power up" or > "powers up then shuts down" I've heard that before a lot from different sources. But why is that? I recieved a QS 2001 733 a year ago or so and upgraded it to be a Dual-800 with no problem at all. The system board is okay as is the power supply. At least until now. It was running regularly a few hours a day (with days off inbetween) for years, before that it was in an office where it was propably running all day during working hours. After such a long time I cannot imagine that there is a hidden weakness somewhere. IMHO if it hasn't broken down by now, it never will - at least not for the "typical QuickSilver problem". Just for the record: mine was made in Cork, Ireland. That's where the european Macs are assembled... Cheers, Andreas aka Mac User #330250
