Now that time has gone by we should have an idea what the most and least reliable G4 towers are. Seems to me that ADC equipped towers have issues with power supplies, other then that I don't know. What do you guys think?
I'll probably keep my QuickSilver Dual 1GHz when all my other G4s have been converted to Ubuntu. (I think that's the only way I'll be able to get rid of them on Craigs List). I'm not too keen on their limitation to 1.5GB Ram, though. I have a Sonnet card supporting two extra internal HDDs for a total of four drives which was an early improvement. No problems with overheating, and the power supply seems to be OK with the arrangement. It's not the most quiet in terms of fan noise but it's been operating 24/7 since I bought it used in 2006. I may add a second DVR drive just to fill out the empty space. OS 10.5.8. Replaced the video card with an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro which needed a new fan. Everything is OK as of today. I've never had a G5, having jumped directly to the Mac Pro.
