    I have a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver I bought today for the sole purpose to flash my SATA card with Mac firmware. It is done and I don't need it anymore. I paid $50 and i am asking $50 plus actual shipping costs and paypal fees. If you are on the east coast of the USA, shipping might be livable. If you are west coast, shipping will be brutal. This has 512MB and 1Ghz processor. It has a Geforce processor which is a negative for MorphOS, but I MAY be able to flash an old Ati Rage gfx card and include it for free.

    The guy I got this from has 5 other Quicksilver PowerMac. Some people claim to have a hard time getting cheap PowerMac hardware. If people will use them for MorphOS, I can be a go between for no profit on the others.

    Let me know. I don't want to sit on this one I already have for long.

    Not a bad deal.
    I already have one sitting unused with a Sonnet 1.4 CPU card, but some else might find it useful.

    What speed are they?

    The one I have is a dual 1Ghz. The others I do not know. The guy selling is not exactly a computer person. They are all Quicksilver or Quicksilver 2002 which puts them anywhere between 733Mhz and 1Ghz.

    That is pretty heavy Red.
    What do you think shipping to Delaware would cost?

    I estimate $43 shipping. This includes paypal fees, postage and packing materials.

    Not bad.
    It would save me the trouble of installing Jaguar.

    It has OSX 10.4 (Tiger) which actually runs pretty good.

    Want it?
