[QUOTE="Yang1815, post: 627390, member: 51393"] O yeah, this is actually pretty amazing stuff. I had the Preferences open, and under Network, the "Ethernet" would keep showing up and disappearing. Very rarely it stays there, and even if it does, it says it's connected with a self-assigned IP Address with limited connectivity. Now here's the fun part. I can disconnect the ethernet cable and it still says the same thing! Anyways, a quick search on eBay yields 3 current auctions for PowerMac G5 logic boards and they're about $300 + shipping. It isn't bad and would be worth it in my opinion (as far as parts go). However, I am not confident that I can swap the logic board myself, especially if I recall correctly, I need to calibrate the temperature for both CPUs or something. So yeah, RIP PowerMac G5 dual 2.0 (June 2004). :) [/QUOTE]
