A working G5 for 99p? That is a steal!

Maybe a record low price in the MorphOS community :)


Yes it was an absolute bargain and it was local so was able to pick it up :)

Here is the power mac I got, I won it on eBay for 99p

Nice!  Was the owner pissed at not getting more money for it, or were they happy just to have it out of the way?  ;)

Well after playing about with it, it now locks up and I am forced to power it off with the power button so I'm guessing that it is overheating going to strip it down tomorrow and try and sort it out :(

Locks up when? Not by any chance after about 30 mins of MorphOS usage? It shouldn't but I'm just thinking that if it could be demo mode slowdown related...

I haven't got around to installing MorphOS yet, I currently have tiger installed it is more of an intermittent fault some times it just freezes and the fans run at full speed?
