Yesterday I got a 1.8GHZ imac G5 for free from a friend/person I helped upgrade their Mac. A while back I installed an airport card for them and I noticed that the computer's caps were bursting. About a month later it constantly started to kernel panic. He took it to apple, and got it "fixed" for $700 8-o , but it still constantly kernel panicked. So he brought it back in, and they gave him a 21inch intel iMac for $300 :-O , AND let him keep the G5. It still was kernel panicking, so he gave it to me. b: Now I have a delema. (this is my post on ppcmla)
The specs of both:
iMac G5 ALS, 1gb ram, 120gb HDD, combo drive, 2GHZ, bluetooth/airport, hacked atx psu
iMac G5,1.25gb ram, 80gb HDD, super drive, 1.8GHZ, airport
I just have not decided whether I should strip this new imac for parts and use it to fix my other one.A few months ago I got an iMac G5 w/ box and everything for $20 at a yardsale. It had a Dead PSU. I spent a few hours last night and until about 1:00 this afternoon trying to get it to work with a hacked atx. Finally i had sucess!!! it is now working fine w/ a fresh instal of leopard, and i will be updating the software for a little while. i have a feeling that i will see a major diffrence between this 2ghz iMac and my 1.25ghz emac and dual 1.25ghz MDD.
