Picked up 1.42ghz MDD, 2gb RAM, 2-185gb HDs, DVD burner, GeForce4 Ti, airport and dead power supply. Before I got it home, I thought I’d just move the processor and heat sink over to a slower g4. Before doing anything I tried connecting my spare power supply just to see if it worked. Next thing you know I’ve got the power supply installed. Have to decide what to do. Only have room for so many MDDs.

If you have a dual 1.42 GHz CPU card (like from an FW800 or something), I might be interested, seeing as I'm plodding along with one as my main desktop.
Surprisingly, it works almost as well as the Mac Pro, only slower. The only thing that bugs me is that it doesn't run Windows (except via Virtual PC, which is far from ideal, but it might suffice in a pinch if I have to).

None that i want to get rid of. This was supposed to replace the processor on a dual 1.25 with only 1mb cache. I may be keeping both for a while. Or I might kill an Xserve and move over the dual 1.33
I've got a dual 1.33 in one MDD. It doesn't have a copper heat sink but one of the later thin finned ones. It's never overheated to my knowledge bu then I've never pushed it super hard. The hardest I've pushed a MDD was a dual 1.25. Just to compare it with a Macbook Pro I rendered a high definition video on it. Took 2 days.
