Last night, at 11:30 PM EST, my new Power Mac 9500 I bought from TiMac, was officially declared dead.  Here are this pictures and history as to what happened.
http://homepage.mac.com/captainz/9500damage I am suspecting the motherboard or CPU daughter card are faluty/damaged. The system powers, but no chime and no video.  . The hard drives and other components appear to be OK, so I think I can salvage some before I complain to UPS about this. Rest in peace, 9500... ------------------

I hate to say it but UPS have a bad reputation for killing people's computer stuff obver there. I have heard them christened 'United Parcel Smashers' for that very reason.Shame, such a nice machine ruined by a stupid parcel guy. It lookslike it fell at least 6' off a shelf. My condolences --
