[G4] Old mini or other machine for cheap/free?

[Amir 'CG' Caspi]

Hi Harry,

 	No, it's single cables all around, and I tried swapping cables and 
removing them entirely, in case of a short - no luck.  Also, there's no 
reason a cable would go bad "all of a sudden" ... the machine was working 
fine one minute, then didn't work the next minute after an attempted 
reboot.

Thanks.
