Re: Power mac G5 2.5ghz
Howdy, I would not want it. But, it is a pretty nice machine in some ways. You say it has no leak issue, but these machines seem to develop that over time. If you want to use it for several more years, you should monitor that cooler. I know I am on the lookout for an inexpensive G5 tower that works well. But, I want an air-cooled one for longer term reliability. That does restrict me to 1.8 GHz speed, as I understand.

If you want to have more fun, you could try getting one of your X86's to run OS X... --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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.
