Hi,
I wanted to find out some information on a Power Mac G5 2.5 DP. I'm slightly confused on this. Someone is selling theirs. I read on EveryMac that these have the Liquid Cooling (that seems to be problematic) but the current owner says the CPUs are both air cooled. Is there something I am missing? Also, they said an Apple Genius said the logic board is going and needs to be replaced (didn't specifically state what the problem is). They are selling this for $100 and all in all doesn't seem like a bad deal, however I'm not sure if I could find a new logicboard and if I can how much it would cost. Any ideas?
Thank You,

All sounds a little fishy to me. 2.5 is liquid cooled maybe it's a 2.3. Also a logic
board starting to go?? Well a logic board isn't hard to get or hard to replace. The
processor is easy to replace also. I saw 2.7 liquid cooled unit for $300.00 in super
shape. If the machine is a "cream puff" the price is greatI would ask for the
serial number to be sure what you're looking at.

Power Macintosh G5 (June 2004)

Overview
Less than a year after unveiling the original Power Mac G5, Apple
released a new line of G5 models, each with dual processors and an 8x
SuperDrive.
As before, the entry level model uses 64-bit PCI slots and only supports
up to 4 GB of RAM vs. PCI-X slots and an 8 GB RAM ceiling in the faster G5s.
The motherboard architecture uses HyperTransport technology. System
memory is so fast (400 MHz on a 900 MHz to 1.25 GHz bus) that Apple
doesn't bother with a level 3 cache.
A headphone jack, USB 2.0 port, and FireWire port are located on the
front of the G5 for easy access.
*The G5 uses an aluminum enclosure that's vented in the front and back.
The case includes four thermal zones and 9 fans to handle cooling, each
independently controlled for speed. The 2.5 GHz model incorporates a
liquid cooling system to keep the CPU from overheating.
