Well well well... what have I done
Shipping will cost a fortune (Sendico also has protective packaging if that helps..) but I have wanted one of these dead or alive since I was 7 years old... I am planning to put a better board in, though.
5210 arrived at Sendico's warehouse. Chose all the protection options and even stated that it's a very fragile system, and also opted for Surface mail due to current space constraints. 6360 and iMac G5 may both arrive tomorrow. Hopefully by 3 months time I'll still be around... lol
I should be receiving the iMac G5 and the 6360 today. Hopefully this G5 won't lock up on me like the last two G5 based systems I had did! I have been conditioned to know that when later PowerMacs have lots of wear that I know something will go wrong in the next day or 2... Luckily, my eMacs are not a part of this... yet.
Why, yes, I do like eMacs! How could you tell?
(I'm sorry, I had to do this at some point.)

Received the 6360 and the iMac G5 yesterday and went through a painful process of repasting the latter. I thought of delidding the northbridge Kodiak chip, but then I got CELL delid PTSD.
Either way, it works like a charm and I also have the restore discs from a teacher who gave me some old PPC OS X software. Any other 20" iSight G5 owners out there? I love mine so far, much better than previous iMac G5s but a bit more painful to service...

SHE LIVES! I have decided 1.06GHz is a safe maximum for these cards.
Thanks to @mints for the replacement card and @EvieSigma for sending me the original parts (still using the heatsink) months back. We're back in business!

The 5210CD arrives today.
Over the past 2 months I didn't get much other than some junk laptops and a bike stolen from me. :/
I am also waiting on a couple of hi-spec Toshiba Tecra A9 units to mess with too.

Do share pictures of the 6360 and its logic board. I once had a 6320 of my own, and it really was a slow beast (but not as slow as my PowerBook 5300c was).
I’ve never seen a 6360 for sale in the UK, either in the old issues of MacUser or on eBay. I assume they didn’t sell them here.

So the Macintosh Performa 5210 I was hoping to have intact... didn't arrive intact. Honestly I was very much overconfident with this machine, but that isn't something a lot of precision work with Gorilla plastic super glue and a good set of puzzle solving skills can't fix.
Graduating high school later today, and went home with this after the last walk through the hallways! A 2003 dual 2GHz G5 with a Radeon 9600 Pro... always wanted a working G5 since a while back when both of my other G5s died.
So last night after my joyride with my grandmother I picked up a Compaq Presario SR5123WM from her house.
And now after restoring the factory image for fun, I can see why people ostracize vista. RTM was god awful.

Vista was...."fun"... 7 was much better, of course.
I don't think very many people do. There probably are some masochists out there who do use it, but they'd be few and far between.
Guilty…
I run Vista on a few old laptops from the 2007-2009 time period. It honestly runs really great fully patched. 7 is better but I’m “that guy” who loves both.
