Bought this off of a friend who said it stopped working a few months back. I bought it from him as a little project as I knew the power supply was shot. Ripped the thing apart and installed a new power supply. Now however I cant get it to the boot menu, it just “clicks”. Im guessing it needs a new motherboard which can be found for about $50-$75 on eBay. Its been sitting around though for a few months and needs to go now. This model for a few hundred on eBay (working), so with it coming with a brand new hard drive and new power supply Im asking $75/BO. If you can get it working with a new motherboard it will be a steal. It was thoroughly dusted and cleaned out when I put in the new power supply. Case only has a few minor scratches on it. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v441/jgiambi1b25/IMAG0088.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v441/jgiambi1b25/IMAG0088.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v441/jgiambi1b25/IMAG0089.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v441/jgiambi1b25/IMAG0089.jpg) Basic Specs: 2.0GHZ Dual Processor (two physical processors) 2.5GB of RAM (upgraded from 512MB) ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 250Gb Hitachi Hard Drive (new) Wifi card inside Can run OS X Leopard Complete Specs Here: [http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac\_g5/specs/powermac\_g5\_2.0\_dp.html](http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g5/specs/powermac_g5_2.0_dp.html) 716 - 946 -Four One Seven One ---

It’s too bad that nobody makes software for the old power pc boxes anymore. This thing could probably still do some work if software was available. ---

If you’re hearing clicks…sounds like a bad HDD…which shouldn’t be too much. These G5s worked real well for recording studios. I remember using one in HS with ProTools I think. We were the first class to use it. ---

Just tested it out… hear a slight click and the front light is lit up but no dice on any fans or anything. ---
