This sucks. Any help appreciated.
I came home yesterday, and my computer seems to have taken a shit on me. Not really surprising though. What's surprising is that it lasted this long. I bought a portable HD already, and backed up all my files about a month ago.

The computer is a 2003 Powermac G4 with mirror doors, and a superdrive. When I push the power button, the light comes on only while I have my finger on it.

Does anyone have any suggestions about what might be wrong?

How about any suggestions about a new CPU. How about building my own? Can I build one cheaply? I have the know how, but don't know much about available products.

Any info, about any avenue will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

BTW. I'm geting a new CPU either way, but would like to fix this one to keep as an extra if possible. I think I'm gonna start with the power supply. No?

One thing I can confidently refer to you is do not think about getting anything from Ibuypower.com.

I'm aware of them already. My GFs little brother bought one of their piece of shit CPUs. I would really like to buy the pieces, and build my own if that's possible, and cheap.

Still wanna fix this G4 too.

Nothing. It's all original. Crazy too. The thing didn't have shit for ram , but ran as smoothly as some of the PCs at work with as much as 3 gigs.

I would start with the power supply as you thought. If not that it very well could be the motherboard. Being as it is an old PC, if you look on Ebay you could probably find the exact same model motherboard for cheap. If you put another type of motherboard in you will probably need to wipe the HD and start over fresh.

Really? Very interested. I would like another Mac(new), but for the first time in along time, I'm in tight spot. I broke my ankle, AND had hernia surgery, missed a bunch of work, paid a lot of Doc bills, and am pretty tight on cash. So a new mac is out, but I would reall like to check out this apple store.
Sounds very promising in getting this one fixed. Thanks bro. Let me know where it's at, and maybe a referral.

I'm really intrigued by the building your own deal, but can it really compete with this.

Check out the Acer. Is Acer worth a crap. I know I'm not big on them, but $350?

In my experience, Acer is the biggest pile crap ever in the crappy history of crap. Do not buy that Acer. They tend to break down very easily.
