My Power Mac G5's power supply failed. One of the brown pillow-shaped resistors started burning up as I was using it. The one next to it burned a little bit as well.
It looks like an easy fix though. I've got it all disassembled, tomorrow I just need to buy two new resistors and solder them on and it should be good to go.
I got the G5 on August 8th, 2004. Funny how problems seem to occur right after purchase anniversaries. :/
Still I'd like to get a couple of more years out of this as my main Mac. So far it's been great and it's still fast and does all I need to do.
