PowerMac G5 2x2.7ghz (Upgraded)
  • Just looking around
    Posts: 1 from 2015/12/8
    Cleaning out my stuff to get ready for a little one... Promised wifey I would only keep my IIgs and one last machine in the shed, either a Quadra or a IIc+. This G5 has been a bit of a hobby box, but I have used it as a ZFS backup server as well.

    This would make somebody a hot fast MorphOS box.(Though moderately faster video cards are out there).



    Here are the Specs:

    -Dual G5 2.7ghz (no sign of coolant leakage)

    -8GB ram

    -60GB OWC Mercury SSD

    -DVD-R

    -USB/firewire card

    -Radeon 7000 PCI (64mb vram)

    -Radeon X800 XT AGP (256mb vram)



    no bluetooth/wifi onboard, but will include a USB wifi interface that has MacOS drivers available and works with FreeBSD 10.1 out-of-the-box. Case isn't perfect but isn't an eyesore. No MOS licence



    So what do I want out of it?



    -Quadra 800 (Maybe 840av?)

    -Quadra 950

    -Apple IIc+



    Machines with some 'kit' are preferred (or maybe a Performa 475 motherboard for a family member thrown in). Might take the right cash offer, but really mainly interested in a swap. Holler to swap pictures. (Please no busted, yeller, stuff)

    I'm in SLC, UT, USA. Honestly, I stagger to think what it would cost to ship this 'across the pond.'

    It's the fastest one for MorphOS according to a MorphOS team member:
