This G5 for sale on eBay is the first I've seen in the wild with LCS failure..however, the seller advises, "burst capacitors"

I'm definitely not squeamish, so just had to had a look.
I find it difficult to believe that was caused just by burst capacitors, but what do I know?
Go on, make a bid, invest in a sand-blaster etc, etc and you could be in business.
THIS - photos 5,6,7 & 8 which was my first ever attempt, shows what can be achieved on a corroded chassis just using elbow-grease.

I didn't give my permission but don't mind you publishing a picture of my m-i-l.
This is rather horrifying. I've never been a fan of liquid cooling. If you can't cool hardware well enough with passive cooling then the hardware isn't efficient enough. I know a lot of people love the G5, but I have always seen it as an inefficient electricity glutton. If it wasn't such a hot running heavy consuming machine it wouldn't have needed liquid cooling to get 4 measly cores.
Only the Dual Core, Dual 2.7 and Quad G5 I believe.
