Liquid cooled G5's sometimes leak and the liquid is corrosive to the case and the motherboard. It could be that the system you are looking at buying had that problem some time in the past and the owner took components out of one G5 and put them into the clean case of another G5.

Buyer Beware! Make sure you are getting what you are paying for and ask the seller why they do not match.

Any reason why a late 2005 G5 quad would show a different serial number on the side label vs the system profile info screen?
