You may laugh about putting a diaper around the cpu's, but the top of
the G5 PSU actually comes with exactly that fixed to it on the liquid
cooled models.
When I asked you to check for corrosion and possible leaks, I should
have told you that you must remove the heat sinks and liquid cooling
system to check for leaks around the "O" rings of the heat sinks. You
cannot see it unless you remove the G5 CPU boards from the computer.

Yes, I heard about this problem with liquid-cooled G5s, so when I
got it I
immediately opened and checked it out.
No leaks or any trace whatsoever (lucky me :-).
Anyway, back to the point of my message. I suggest you check any
liquid cooled G5 Mac computer for leaks and corrosion, before you
have
a catastrophic leak and failure that damages the motherboard and PSU
Now that you make me think about it...
it could happen anytime. :-/
(or, since it's 6 years old now, it's "tested" enough?)
Should I check it every now and then?
The G5 sits under my desk, and it's not immediately accessible.
Should I put a diaper around the CPUs, just in case? ;-D
