Hi, to everyone
I bought this machine very cheaply in AS-IS condition.

The machine doesnt boot or otherwise respond which are the

Thanks for a helping hand.

Recently got a Power Mac G5 Quad Core 2.5, and the original Apple box
had received a hard knock in shipment. One end was punched in (6 inch
square area) , and even though the styrofoam inside was also broken in
somewhat, there appeared to be no damage to the pristine case.
Unfortunately
Tim,
I had a similar setup running on a Sawtooth, but it started crapping
out on me. I've got a couple Quicksilvers but I wonder if it's worth
stepping down to the lesser amount of RAM? Any thoughts? The Duet will
pop right into the Quicksilver and the RAM I've got is Crucial
PC133...

That's actually more common than you think. I have the official Apple
Internal "Intel Reserializer" tool. It is software that allows you to
change a serial number to match the one on the case if you had to swap the
Logic Board out.

If you can go look at it in person, as opposed to buying blind over the
net, I'd look very carefully at the liquid cooling system, checking for
any evidence that coolant has started to leak, or run down inside the
case. Best option might be to pull processors and the power supply to
look close

Remember, these water-cooled G5's tend to corrode and leak if you
cycle them on-and-off daily. You seriously need to leave this Mac
running 24/7/365, or sell it now before it leaks, and it will leak
if you cycle the temperature daily by turning it off & on again.
