Every once in a while it is time to clean that beautiful Apple PowerMac G5. For me this means two things, cleaning the Computer's inside as well as Mac OS X cashes etc.
So here a short list describing the housecleaning I just performed on my Mac:

    Cleaning a G5's inside
  • Removed plastic shield.
  • Pull front CPU fan assembly, this one has no wires.
  • Remove the screw from the video card and pull it out.
  • Partially remove rear CPU fan assembly
  • Partially slide out front speaker/fan assembly.
  • Clean the interior including the CPU heat-sink and everything reachable by blowing one to two cans of compressed air through the whole thing.
  • Use Windex on a paper towels on the plastic shield.
  • Reassembled.
    Cleaning Mac OS X
  • Clean Disk Cashes (Library/Cashes and User/Library Cashes)
  • Remove preferences from deleted programs (Library/Preferences)
  • Repair Disk Permissions (First Aid in Disk Utilities)
  • Zap the PRAM (Restart the Mac and hold Command-Option-P-R keys down until hearing the 3rd chime)
