Re: Water Cooler Power Mac G5
Thanks for all the replies concerning the liquid cooled g5's. They were very helpful. I have a g5 and, turns out, it is air cooled. However, I am thinking of buying an air cooled 2ghz g5 to replace my 1.25 ghz MDD g4. Does anyone know if I can simply take the hard drives out of the g4 and move them to the g5? = On Sep 3, 2010, at 11:44 AM, John C wrote: On Sep 2, 9:24 am, James Morgan macsh...@mac.com wrote: Which models of the G5 were water cooled, and, how do we determine if we have one?

Each machine is named specifically different as not to conflict with any other and all are hardwired to the network via network switch. Here's the fun part when the mini is booted up, the Computer Name in the sharing prefs folder (system prefs) changes from Mac Mini to Mac Mini (2) ??? I've changed this computer name various times only to have it do the (2) thing over and over again? normally this wouldn't be a big issue but I hate having to type my user password in every time it does it. any clues as to why I keep getting the (2)? Something somewhere has the name stuck in a cache. Turn off file sharing. Reboot. Set the name and turn on file sharing. If it does it again, check your system log - there will be information there about the name change. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

'Fraid not: The G4's internal interface is ATA/100, the G5 is SATA. Ted Right, but new drives are so cheap you lose little. I have multiple G4s in the house, and just got a Mac Pro for my main system. One G4 that's getting unplugged has 4 drives that total 750GB. A 2TB drive I bought for the new Pro was $100. So the MDD drive's total value is just $37.50. Just network them and move all your stuff to your new G5. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
