    I currently have 4 G5 computers in my possession:
    1 - 2.0 GHz - PCI bus
    2 - 2.0 Ghz - PCI-X bus, of those...one doesn't work.
    1 - 2.5 GHz - PCI bus - Dreaded liquid cooled machine.

    Has anyone removed the LCS from either the 2.5 or 2.7 Ghz machines and replaced it with the Passive (Fan) cooling system from a 2.0 machine.

    If so, is it a pretty easy swap? I want to run the OS on this machine, but I really don't want to have to go through the headache of the LCS system.

    I think it could be done with a 2.5 machine with no real detriment to keeping to processors cooled. Not too sure about the 2.7 machines.

    Thanks in advance!
