What's the best way to add USB ports to a G5? It seems like the most space-saving way would be through one of the PCI slots, but the reviews here make me very suspicious of the workability.

All is well that ends in pizza.
How about this one? [link]

What vintage G5 is it? If it's a new one then you have to use PCIe cards, which are not backwards compatible and which make getting cards kind of a pain.

I bought it last May, so it's almost exactly a year old.

Why do you want more USB ports? Wouldn't a USB hub be easier?

Not really, because I'd have to find room for it on my desk. But I'm open to suggestions.

You could stick it to the top of your G5. Be easier to plug things in and out there.
I have this Belkin hub. It's quite small and has worked fine.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
Any advice?
Last night I turned off my computer but left the monitor on (as I have been doing recently). When I turned the computer on this morning, the monitor started making a harsh rattling sound and nothing appeared on the screen.
I tried to turn the computer off with Ctrl-Alt-Del, which changed the monitor sound to a whine. I then turned the computer off manually, and the monitor sound continued. Pressing the monitor power button had no effect -- only turning off the powerbar made the monitor be quiet. I also checked the connection between the monitor and the computer and made sure the monitor power cord was plugged all the way in.
I tried turning the computer on again, and got the same results (no rattling -- whine only). I have not had any problems with the monitor before.
So is my monitor dead, or does this sound like a problem with my computer (video card or other)?

If the monitor is making a harsh rattling sound, then I tend to believe the monitor is the problem. Do you have a neighbor you can borrow a monitor from, to test?
