Well, call them about charges before moving your 25kg behemoth :-) At least in Spain, you have the right to reject the reparation budget, so once you know what the problem is, you can try get the spares cheaper elsewhere.... > For the G5 they probably still have spares. I think pre 2004 PM G5s are already officially "obsolete", don`t know about your specific machine. In any case, looks like G5 spares are pretty expesive everywhere! I have used LEM swapt to get parts for my various computers at reasonable prices. Plus, USPS postal charges are far lower than those I have experienced in Europe. Unfortunately, we seem to be losing our Euro/USD advantage! ;-) Good luck, those G5s are still pretty useful machines! Gorka from Spain -- GRATIS für alle GMX-Mitglieder: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!
