@TerminalAutism @Lumeinshin @ryo Apple hardware in the USA is usually dirt cheap PPC wise, or was. Lower end G5s don't cost that much ($100-150) but working Quad G5s and liquid cooled models cost more because the LCS literally destroyed the machine if it's not rebuilt. They're the cheapest PPC64 machine around but also big endian only and only the dual core/quad models have PCIe. The Raptor Blackbirds used to be cheaper but a single quad core CPU and board bundle is $2800.

Unfortunately with the shit economy and high gas prices used car prices went up, unless it's someone dumping their SUV on the used market but the cheapest Power9 full systems are more than that price still. I'm not joking, you can find a work van or Tahoe for less than a Corolla right now in my area.
