Agreed. The Quads' LCSs are more reliable than the ones from previous LC models. I'm definitely sure that the top-of-the-line models use/rely on liquid cooling: Mid-2004 Dual-2.5 GHz (970fx) PowerMac7,3 Early 2005 Dual-2.7 GHz (970fx) PowerMac7,3 Late 2005 Dual-2.5 GHz Dual-Core i.e. "Quad" (2x970MP) PowerMac11,2 > I would not get the LCS 2.7 or 2.3. I may be wrong, but is there a liquid cooled 2.3 GHz? I had to check at everymac.com: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g5/index-powermac-g5.html Anyway, I have to confess that I've never actually seen a liquid cooled Power Mac. I must also confess that I regularly get confused about this too.
