My new G5 just came! SO new in fact it is still running the initial software update!!!!

So, I get the box, crack it open. Then I thorw it up on my desk and pop the side panel off. WWWWWWOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW! I am in the I.T. filed and this is the most impressive thing I've ever seen. So the first thing is add 1.5gb of ram(2gb total), an airport extreme card, and an extra 250gb hard drive. And just like I expected everything worked perfect on the first boot. I felt like I was 5 years old on christmas!!!!

Take the apple ram out and install the crucial ram in the inner slots first. Put the oem stuff in the outer spaces...per the apple support forums. Also, remove the clear plastic material and tape from the inside of the removable door. Congrats!

That's awsome. Congratulations on your purchase. (Y)

I run a G5 at school with 250GB HD, Dual 1.8 Ghz, and 4 Gigs of RAM. Pretty slick I say.

I wish I could afford a G5. Hell, I wish I could afford any Macintosh without feeling ripped off. :hmmm:

My thoughts exactly, i would love a mac, but look at those prices :no:

On-topic guys, this is about suntzu's G5 - not the prices of Macs.

Congrats on your purchase suntzu (Y), hope you enjoy it :)

Radish?

It is the single cpu version. I got too good a deal due to it going EOL. How long should it take to partition a 250gb drive using mac os extened file system? It has been going for like 25 minutes and it hasnt really moved in a while.

I don't think it takes that long... You can stop it and start over, though. It won't cause any problems.

Oh, and you people just don't know how to get your Mac's cheap. Refurb prices:

Power Mac G5 1.6 GHz 256MB/80GB/SuperDrive/GigE/56K $1,399.00

Power Mac G5 1.8 GHz 512MB/160GB/SuperDrive/GigE/56K $1,699.00

Power Mac G5 DUAL 2GHz 512MB/160GB/SuperDrive/GigE/56K  $2,399.00

:p

*Drools* I'd love to get my hands on a Dual G5 for ProTools. Yes that would be nice. Very nice.

Congratulations and thank you for making me feel poor :p

Ditto.
