Hello,
Our new G5 (custom-configured by Apple Store last week) came with a a Fibre Channel Card that we did not order. However, I called Apple, and they do not want the card back, so it is just sitting around.
It's the standard LSI7202P, which I'm assuming is similar to the LSI7202XP

Fibre Channel Card
A Fibre Channel PCI card is required to connect Xserve RAID to Power Mac G5. Apple's Dual Channel 2GB PCI Fibre Channel card ships with two 2.9-meter Copper Fibre Channel SFP to SFP (Small Form Factor Pluggable) interconnect cables. The Fibre Channel PCI card is installed in an open PCI or PCI-X slot (depending on configuration purchased) of the Power Mac G5 and the cables are used to connect to the SFP port on Xserve RAID with SFP connectors.
The SFP connectors on the card allow use of the included copper cabling to connect directly to Xserve RAID or a 2GB Fibre Channel switch over short distances. Optional optical cabling and SFP transceivers provide the capability of connecting the card to a Fibre Channel switch over long distances up to 500m.
I'd like $300 for the item, but keep in mind that the card is a $500 upgrade option for the G5.
UPDATE
I'm lowering my asking price to $250 - it's just sitting in an anti-static bag in a box collecting dust
