I always advise people to avoid the Quicksilver. They seem to be the
ones that suffer dead power supply problem. Particularly the 733mhz
like I have which is now a door stop. 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...
