Hey friends, I have a Performa 6112CD and the PSU makes a bit of a squeal when I power the computer on. This, naturally, has me a bit nervous. I intend to recap the PSU but for a longer term solution, is it possible to use an ATX power supply? Is there any conversion kit or anything?

While I was doing that, I applied new thermal paste to the first of the G5 processors and this seems to have been a mistake. I can get the 4 screws around the processor back in but the 6 long screws on the outsi...
