After many schedule conflicts, I finally took a day off to pick-up my G5 Quad and set it up.

I unwrapped it took it out of the box (sorry no pictures ).
I plugged it in.
I powered it up.
I registered the machine and activated my AppleCare plan.
I updated the OS through Software Update.
I rebooted.
Then nothing.
No power.
After owning for 1 hour it was dead.

I took it to my service center and they told me the Power Supply was dead and needed to be replaced. Pretty p1ss3d, I called Apple to voice my dissatisfaction. I stayed polite and explained my case. The woman was nice and told l would get a new machine from Apple on Monday.

There goes my weekend, but at least I'll get a new machine,

I feel your pain. At least you'll get it on Monday, which is bloody quick. And the Quad is the crowning achievement of an almost bygone era.
