Hi, It seems I called the front panel Facia, when it should be a Bezel... I found the broken fragments in the delivery box, and have loosely fitted them in place, just need glue and filler to make the rest of the Bezel. There are some other smal fragments of plastic not shown, just trying to...

Hi, I assumed that because I run OS9 on a Mac Mini G4 A1103, 1.25Ghz, that the G5 would run it natively. I think the G5 is running Tiger, which maybe good to boot into OS9 as stated above.

I have a G5 2Ghz, that I got on eBay local pickup only for £0.99 I have never had a G5, is OS9 worth installing or struggle on with Tiger/Leopard. I was going to install MorphOS, but maybe stay with Apple.
