[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1143891, member: 46727"] Salvaging the data from the hard drive is the easy part. Just buy an external carrier or adapter and you can then attach your G5 hard drive to the new computer to extract data as needed. An adapter like [URL="http://eshop.macsales.com/search/universal+drive+adapter"]this one[/URL] sold by OWC works best. The symptoms you described regarding the color snow on the screen could be related to various hardware problems: video card, logic board, video cabling, and so forth. Start with the video card as that's the easiest to replace. Look for swollen capacitors, frayed or broken cables. [/QUOTE]
