Hope you have happy sailing!

I never had any intent of trashing the G4 unless I could have
afforded a new Mac Pro. :)
I got the power supply rebuilt for $89 and a lot less time than you
outlined. Fired right up, the mobo and all drives are fine.
Now I need to revisit my backup plan - as that IS my backup machine
and I can't afford to have my data sitting in a dead machine should
it go again. My externals are smaller but I am going to start
backing up my documents to them so I at least have access if need be.
Thanks so much for all the advice!

Greetings Diane
Before you trash your trusty Mac have a look at this option.
1. Purchase a Antec 430 Watt Power Supply, about $50.00
2. Purchase from Donald Hall, http://atxg4.com/ about $13.00
From what is posted it seams like about a 2-4 hour job to remove the
old PS and install the new one.
This is my plan for my 12 year old Mac G4 AGP Graphic.
I purchased new in 1999, or I should say my Wife purchase for me.
Cheers
