So, I have been in the market for a G5 lately. I was looking for a cheap one and no one seemed to have one. So I put up a want add for any Dual G5 for under $1000. A few days later I had no replies, when all of the sudden i hear the new mail sound. I look thinking its going to be spam and it is someone who has a Dual 2GHz G5 that has been stripped down because it wouldn't boot. I read on further in the email and it says "It's yours free if you pick it up. otherwise it's going to the recycling center."!!!!! SWEEEEEEET!!! So i went and picked it up and it is in perfect physical condition. Just a little dusty. I will definitly post back when I get back to my house to try the machine out. Here's some pictures of how i got it...

Sorry, low quality pics. It has a Radeon 9600 XT 128MB in it too.
I'd be tempted to tell you that you suck, but I won't
Nice find there. I'll offer up one of my intel boxen to the God of Computer Troubleshooting for you.
Good luck!

Lol. I don't mean to be in anyones face here. I've got a G5 motherboard and processors to try in there and see what is going on, although it could be something as simple as RAM they had in there or the video card. Hopefully something simple. I'm so happy.
Wow you're really lucky. Too bad it's got such an outdated video card though.
Eh, it's not to bad, a 9600XT. I'm planning on flashing over an nVidia 7800. I ordered a motherboard off ebay for it on thursday, it should be here sometime this week. I hope the motherboard was the right version, I know I bought a dual 2GHz motherboard, but I'm not sure if it matter if its from the original 2GHz G5 or the June 2004. Anyone know? They have the same bus speed and both have PCI-X and I can't find any other differences other than firmware version so I can't see why it wouldn't work. Anyone who knows, please chime in.
