Hi, My fourth MDD is having power supply problems and I'm tired of buying just another one and transfer 4 HDs, all my PCI cards, RAM and my 1.25 Ghz DP card again and waiting for another failing power supply. I decided to go for a G5 instead and can get the top model for a good price. So what changes do I have to make? I can throw away my M-Audio Revolution card as the G5 has optical audio in and out. I can keep on using my Samsung digital TV as my monitor, it's already perfectly calibrated and I'll get a Mac Pro monitor extra. I already use two Sata HDs with Tiger in my MDD with adapters so I can simply transplant them. But I want to keep my legacy SCSI devices like a nice old Microtec scanner and an old MOD drive so I'll need a PCI-e SCSI-card. Do you have any suggestions which cards will work with Tiger in the G5 2.5 Ghz DP quadcore? The G5 should be the latest edition so I don't expect any woes with the liquid cooling system. Any other suggestions anybody? I hope for a smooth transition. Thank you.

When you say 'top model', I hope you're not referring to the liquid cooled quad 2.5 PCI-E or dual 2.7 PCI-X model, they certainly aren't reliable (unless you're a fan of working on closed loop liquid cooling systems) - having said that, mine is still going 5 years or so after I rebuilt it with all-new pipework and anti-corrosion car coolant but it's not used much and I definitely wouldn't trust one without a known history.
