I have a couple PCIE DP 2.0 Ghz G5s and the original AGP/PCI model single 1.6ghz but was looking for a dual processor PCIX. Well I found a dirty one on ebay sold as-is that looked like it had 8 memory slots and the OEM 256MB Nvidia 6800 ultra video card and took a chance.
The machine has some scratches and was missing the metal side door but otherwise works like a charm. It came with a working 250GB hard drive not show in the pics and an 80 GB intel 2.5" SSD bouncing around inside (seems to work fine using a USB external case). My spare PCIE G5 donated its side door (that unit has crushed handles, keeping it just for spare parts anyway). Loaded OSX 10.5 on it with 4x1GB DIMMS, have another 4 if needed to max it out (came with stock 2x512MB RAM).
Not too bad for $44ish shipped.
