Re: Water Cooler Power Mac G5
James Morgan macsh...@mac.com Sep 04 09:03AM -0400 ^ 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? You perhaps can yank the HDs out of you G4 and stick them in external HD enclosures and run them on FW or USB if you have no other use for them and they are big enough to bother doing that with? -- dorayme -- 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.

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.

Re: Water Cooler Power Mac G5
'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.

You can see any info needed for any Apple/Mac product. goto http://www.mactracker.ca/ 2) To find out what Mac you have, write down the SerialNumber (has always 11 char.'s), which you can find in your System Profiler. 3) Then goto http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html and put in your SN. 4) Now you know exactly what G5 you have and with Mactracker you'll find out if it's watercooled or not. (And more, haha!) Oc, there are other ways to find out and determine but IMHO this is one of the easiest and simpliest ways to find an answer on your queries.
