    Help buying a powermac g5 (quad especially), I think I'm searching for the wrong thing?

    Power Mac G5 longevity and usability questions

    After having previously purchased 2 of these aluminum monsters, I plan to keep them alive for as long as the hardware will allow me to (and hopefully push them to their limits). That leads to my questions: What should the standard procedure be to keeping these things operating optimally? I...

    Saving my 2,5ghz liquid cooled PowerMac G5

    Hi community, so I have my old PowerMac G5 Late 2005 with 2,5 ghz dual cpu single Delphi pump laying around, but it’s broken. It immediately overheats, which makes me suspect the pump.

    Resolved G5 Quad: Vanishing Ram?

    Earlier this week I booted up my G5 Quad to find only 12 of my 16GB Memory was showing up. I've had 16GB working without issue for 1-2 years now. DIMMs 4 & 5 were showing up empty despite that not being true. Haven't had to go fiddling inside for a long time so I'm surprised anything changed...
