Hello,
I'm thinking about buying a PowerMac G5 to replace my iMac G5 (no, I don't want something higher, I don't want to wait longer to have money to buy a Mac Pro, or take a IntelMini, no, it would be a PowerMac G5 or nothing, anyway, I will take it on a french site like craiglist, G5 are like 100€, and Mac Pro start at 250€ (for a Mac Pro 1,1 2006) I can't afford it now, and I need a computer quickly, I can't wait more, and G5 is powerful enough for my need)
And, I want to take the high end model, so the PowerMac G5 Quad, but I know last model of PMG5 had bad watercooling, so I want to know if I can take a PowerMac G5 and replace the water cooling by a classic Air Cooling ? (I don't care if the fan would speed faster and make more noise, I always play music when i'm on my computer)
Or does the motherboard of the Quad doesn't have the connector for the fan or something, or it is possible to replace it ?
It would be my main machine, I need it to be reliable. It will run mostly 10 hours per day
Anyway, so can I replace the watercooling by aircooling on a PowerMac G5 2005 ?
If not, why ? (Don't just reply "No", i want to know why)
Thanks ^o^
