Thanks for the try. Those links are about the G5 iMac not the Power PC G5. I've talked to Jim Warholic on this problem and he didn't have an answer

I always forget about all these Mac's being different I always think that there would be some sort of standard :-) So I learned that the G5 and the Power Mac G5 are using different power supplies, correct? Looks like they must be made out of platinum to explain the high cost (I love my cheapy ATX power supplies :-) Now you mentioned Power Mac and Power PC in your comment. Are those interchangeable terms, I mean is this still the same thing or a totally different animal altogether?
