HI, I'm new to Macs after years with PC's. Just bought a PowerMac G5 - without hard drive or RAM. When installing a new hard drive tonight, it looks like maybe other things are missing but I'm not sure. I can't find a picture that looks like the inside of this model. It's a 1.8 single processor, the one with four Dimms. Is there supposed to be a front intake fan assembly in this model?? Also, don't see a slot to install AirPort for wireless. Any help very much appreciated!!!! Thank you.

First what do you feel is missing? Second, front intake fan? Is there one in front of the processor?
