Always check resale value on mac stuff. Those G5's still bring around 100.00 each if they work.
I still use 2 Mac G5's. Great machines.
i'm keeping one...couldn't help myself dissecting the other 2...the motherboard is really hard to get out...it was a powerful machine and looked good...the function and the look is what makes apple still appleQuote:
