But I take issue with that, the technologic and industrial design was an Apple stroke of genius necessary to cool the monster processors, The problem was the manufacturer of the LCS's, "Delphi" (a GM company) was chosen and if you take a look at GM's quality track record over the last 30 years then it's telling why Panasonic saved the day. But Apple had a lot of machines out there before the problem became an issue hence the bad mark. I can fix the Delphi's and make those super G5 PM PPC machines run with the big dogs, However the folks that own most of them are professionals and don't have the where with all nor the time to do this. If you can snag a Panasonic LCS ( make sure to get the intake bezel or fashion one) It's a good choice, this machine is the last, fastest and finest PPC Apple produced. IMHO a work of industrial art. And a carrot is Apple has dropped the Mac Pro so the big box is a thing to admire. I call mine "Stanley" after the "Stanley Steamer" My friends are in awe to see a Mac with two water pumps and a radiator. My Mac Pro althohgh air cooled (Neil) is a fine companion to this work horse. :-) I guess I'm a little biased being a CNC programer and manufacturer.

Re: Can I CCC a 10.4 from a G4 DA to a G5?
Have you opened up your Dual 2.7GHz G5 and removed the CPU's to check for corrosion, or leaks? I have both a dual 2.7GHz and dual 2.5gHz G5 PowerMac and both of them had the beginnings of leaks and considerable corrosion from the "O" rings, so I took them apart, cleaned off the corrosion and put them back together. I did not have replacement "O" rings like I should have, so I used some high heat silicone automotive gasket maker to augment the "O" rings and hopefully prevent any future leaks at that location. I know that it was very low tech and a bit of a hack to do it that way, but I did not want to leave the liquid coolant system open while I waited for new "O" rings to show up in the mail and I needed to put the systems back together to re-test the dual 2.5GHz system for someone that wanted to buy it. For some reason, only one of the two 2.5GHz G5 CPU's is being shown as working in the "About this Mac" menu item. When I swap the G5's from one side to the other, it is always the same side that is not working, so both of the G5 CPU's work and it must be a fault with the Motherboard, or G5 socket that is not working correctly. 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 that sits under the G5 CPU's (bad design for a liquid cooled system).

Boot the Mac, insert the ASD 2.5.7 disc, then restart, holding down the Option key to select whether to boot from the ASD Open Firmware or from the OS boot volume. You need to boot from and run both in order to do a complete test of your Mac. Before booting from the ASD disc, peruse the Read Me file to learn how to run the calibration software, which is one of the options when you get booted to an ASD volume. Easy peasy.

Just boot the ASD with the "C" key and the calibrate option is on the top of the menu bar. It will take some time and make a lot of fan noise. It will also tell you if it needs to be calibrated.

I just wanted to make sure before I started playing with my "new" toy. Only thing, if you have some app optimized for G4 processors (like TenFourFox), you better swap it with the G5 version. But at least I won't have to remember "do I have a 7400 or 7410?" IMO, the fastest and simplest way to do this cloning, is thru Firewire Target disk mode: just connect the two Macs with a Firewire cable, boot the receiving (target) Mac holding down the "T" key, and do your cloning. No need to move HDs around. :-) Tough call. I like mucking around and straight to SATA will be faster than Firewire 400. I could show off how cool the 10 year old Target Disk Mode feature is, but the coolness will be lost on the people that will be around to see it. I was mostly concerned about pci-x and the fan controls. I don't know if I am getting a hardware test disk with it.

I had the same situation (OSX 10.4.11 from G4 DA to G5 2.7) some time ago, asked about it and everybody said "Go ahead, clone it! No problem at all".

My plan is to install the HD for the G5 into my DA (with a SATA card) and just clone my DA HD onto it. Yes, I know a fresh install is best, but I don't have the time or organization to do that here. Any flaws? Thanks, Just CCC right to the G5 PM and it will run just like the DA only faster. My G5 PM 2.7 has Tiger and Leopard on separate partitions. I also need classic.
