Whoa. Blast from the past and didn't even have to use the wayback machine to be reminded that every Power Mac G5 comes with Tiger, the latest release of Mac OS X.

Eight 20-inch or 23-inch Apple Cinema Displays can be connected to the Power Mac G5 using four NVIDIA GeForce 6600 graphics cards.

That's a big number of displays even 9 years later! I only ever push 2 displays at the max.

Either way, cool find on the site! Neat to see a bit of the past.

I have a Radeon 9200 PCI card that I could use to plop an additional 2 monitors in for my main Mac.Then I'd have 4.

The Radeon 9600XT runs two monitors now, a 23-inch ADC-style Cinema HD display and a HP 17-inch monitor via VGA with DVI adapter.

Thats awesome, I wish they had a black MBP today. I've considered getting a high spec'd blackbook and adding and SSD + ram to, but the moneys are low.

I used to have a 2.0 core 2 black :apple: but lack of GPU eventually got to me

I have a Penryn motherboard floating around that worked, the screen was needed so it sits. It doesn't have a fan, ram, or heatsink, but I'd be willing to give it up
EDIT: Dang you live in teh UK.

A Penryn Macbook logicboard won't fit in a non-Penryn Macbook. The internet supports are different. The whole bottom case would have to be switched as well.
