Hey guys n gals;
My basement flooded last week and rose about a quarter inch into my Power Mac G5, only wetting my Power Supply. So i opened it up and saw the model of the power supply Apple P/N: 614-0384 1000w MAX. However, when I search for it online, it is advertised as a power supply for Quad processors, which range from $200-300 bucks! Ouch!
My Mac is a Dual 2.0ghz. Do I really need this expensive power supply? I saw others of about 400w to 600w for cheaper. Would these be compatible with my Mac? But one thing I did notice was that my current, and dead, power supply has these chrome "conductors" that connect into the motherboard which I only see in the 1000w power supply.
So... What do you guys think?
