I only set up the G5 today and just quickly checked if the network and GPU were working. I've had it for a while, but I haven't had time to test anything because I was missing the GPU and network card until today
Oh, and you also need the power adapter for the graphics card, which fits onto the logic board:

Then have fun with the G5 :)
My Mac Pro has been sitting in the attic for years
I just cleaned it up and I want to use it with MorphOS so I can play old Amiga games when I have time
I tried it with a G4 Power Mac before, but it was really slow! There were some 2DS games that ran sluggishly on it. :D
I hope I won't have such problems with the g5. Later, if there is 3D support for HD cards on MorphOS, I will buy a video card that also has an HDMI connection.
HD video cards require an additional power supply, which I don't know yet, how where will I get it from on the G-5 motherboard?
If I remember correctly, the G5 Power Mac motherboard does not have a connector for the additional power supply for the video card.
Maybe I'll run the wires from the power supply to the 6-pin connector.
