Topic awaiting preservation: Failed mac pro video card (Page 1 of 1)

Help! My vid card just died on my first gen mac pro and melrose mac says they are about $600 to replace. Anyone know of a cheaper solution??

Hm,
wikipedia list's the graphic adapters that were installed in those machines,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_Pro
and while it will be troublesome to produce such an 'old' card, it shouldn't be impossible
(second hand, at least)

for the price quoted you'd be able to pick up a couple of these old machines for spare parts.

Thanks prime. Found one for $450. Not to experienced with my macs breaking so this was a first in 6 yrs.
