For a few months I was eyeing a working G5 Quad including a 23" Cinema HD Display with DVI Adapter that was offered for pickup at a price of 50 Euros!
I always shied away from the Quads due to their water cooling issues, but at that price I could hardly say no. Only it was about 9 hrs drive from my place, so I had to wait if it would be still available when I came to the area for another reason. Well, long story short, it was and I got it. Lucky me!
I still have to figure out which variant of the cooling system it has - can this be determined from the outside via model no. or something else?
Is there a good guide that shows what has to be done to "future-proof" the cooling system? I found lots of information here in the forums and elsewhere. It is so much that I cannot really figure out how to continue. I'd be thankful for a good pointer!
Happy me is happy - Both are beauties, although the Display will be a better fit form my G4 MDD.
