is poor engineering
I inherited a G5 tower from a non-profit org. They had
retired it in favor
of newer hardware.
First thing I did with it was to archive their data.
I was in the process of setting it up for my use. Got it personalized
then went to power it on the next weekend and it wouldn't start?? No
screen and an increasing fan noise?..
Was their a common problem with these? And yes I flushed the pram and
tried a new battery.

Bad capacitors, bad power supplies, leaking coolant destroying motherboards
(on the water cooled models).
