Hi Folks
I'm looking for cheap/used/surplus 500GB IDE/PATA HDDs, does anyone  
have any to spare or suggestions (other than eBay)?
Thanks

Xserve G4 (Tray Load) video card (and other) questions

2009-09-04 Thread Ian Prickett

Hi
I'm building/rebuilding a tray load Xserve G4 to use as a headless  
home server and I had a few questions:
1) I'm planning on installing 10.4 or 10.5 via Firewire Target mode  
from my other xServe G4 (slot load), is this the best way or should I  
install the o/s onto a spare ADM and the transfer from one xServe to  
the other?
2) Compatibility question, does any one know if the video cards for  
these were specific, can I use a card from a Powermac G4 QS (at least  
to get it up and running) after that I want to use screen sharing to  
manage it?
3) Does anyone know of a good source for xServe G4 parts other than  
eBay?
4) Any other gotcha's I should be looking out for?
Thanks
