WTB Mac G5 dual - PCIX - Or a Magma Chassis

I have a bit of a drama as my Powermac dual 2.5 G5 is playing up (with crazy deadlines looming)

Has anyone got a good ol Powermac G5 they don"t use anymore?

Specifically a dual 2.5ghz PCIX - or similar (but not PCIE)
(If I could get this specific model then I can use the one I have for spares)

I run my HD rig off one of these - and its sorta urgent.
There are a couple on ebay coming up - but thought I would ask here first.

Any lonely ol' macs out there?

EDIT:
Also - anyone got a Magma chassis they want to get rid of that will allow me to use my PCIX cards in it via a newer computer? or possibly my laptop?
Only need enough Magma slots for 2 cards

Sheesh.. I've got two of these exact models, one doesn't work (spare parts).

Where are you? I'd be happy to lend you the good one to tide you over, but I'm not keen to part with it entirely - I still use it occasionally as my back-up rig.

Thanks Manning - well, if you still use it, there's no point in putting your back-up system through postal systems.
I'm in Tassie.
I reckon there will be other lonely G5's out there, and it makes sense for me to buy one really.
Use mine for spares.
