Re: Are the G5 power supplies as bad as the G4 was?
I ordered my G5 tower on 22 August 2005, and aside from shutting it off at night, it has been running non-stop pretty much every day since received. Absolutely no power supply problems here. I am also curious about the ATX PS in G4 conversion. I have a copy of Mac OS X server 1.2 that I want to play with. Several of the G4 Macs are on the Server 1.2 compatibility list.

Re: G5 iMacs were made at the height of the Capacitor Plague,
If that is so, Apple Should extend the warranty to 36 months. I have bought Apple Products for years since the quality and long life are so good. But, when Steve Jobs stopped licensing the PowerComputing® clones … it Chapped my posterior extremity So much, I bought and used only their PowerCenter Pros and PowerTower Pros for a number of years. Had a PowerComputing Power 100 (100 MHz 601 processor) that I bought used for my grandson have a powerSupple Failure. Cost me a $100.00 for a new one. Then read they were a problem on PowerComputing models ... So, being my extended family's IS man, I bought five used PowerCenter Pro power supplies … and with several machines out there in my family … never had a Power Supply go out on one of them over the next five to seven years. Gave my Stash Away when switched to Apple Quicksilvers. I had wondered why their were so many iMacs for sale for parts … made me think of the Sorry Ass, Mac Quadra's, which filled the Used Mac Lists for a few years.

Is this the guy with the G4 series wiring diagrams on his site? If you feel comfortable with a soldering iron you may want to try making your own connections. I did an MDD and a Digital Audio. Both worked well, although, as the site I used warned, there may be difficulties waking from sleep mode. A little creativity goes a long way in positioning the ATX supply in the MDD case. One thing I wish I'd done was make up connectors as separate units so if the ps died I could just plug in a new one.
