The G3 looks great! Did you just pry the Apples off from the outside or was there more to getting them off?

Another question...actually its a statement that hopefully can be proven wrong. The G4 is a Quicksilver. I guess there's no way to change to color of the optical drive door and ZIP bezel without painting the front of them. The grey plastic looks to be part of the same piece as the clear...

How do you get the Apples off? I haven't tried real hard to pry them off in case there's some "secret" to it.

I'm cleaning up the plastics on a G4 and thought about removing the paint from the inside of the side panels and either leaving them clear or painting them another color. Then I realized that won't work for the apple in the center. Is the apple covered by a separate piece of plastic that can...

I've got four FWB 68-pin SCSI cables that must have gone to my old StudioArray. One of them is the one-foot version. Yours for the cost of shipping if you want them - PM me.

I had an old 12"x12" Wacom ArtZII (Digitizer II) that got damaged before I really had a chance to play with it. It was the Mac version with the DIN serial port but after much searching I was able to find a female-DIN to male DB9 adapter for using it on an SGI (which I never got around to) and a...

It must have been one of the PowerShop cards I saw on ebay years ago. And this Radius ThunderColor board just ended on ebay. I had an mPower board once very briefly. I didn't know of any obtainable software that worked with it.

I know about the Nubus-based Photoshop DSP accelerators but are there any similar PCI cards? I think I remember seeing something like that years ago but I can't remember the name of it. I'm not talking about using modern GPUs for processig.

In approximately 10 years of collecting Macs I've never even seen a Workgroup Server 9150 in person. I saw two on craigslist last night and picked them up today! I haven't powered them on yet but they look good other than some dirt and yellowing on some of the plastics. They even have the...

Symptoms seem to fit with the wiper blade problems I've read about on other sites. Had the previous cartridge do the same thing though it lasted quite a bit longer. Switching the the current one completely fixed the problem - for awhile.

I need a new toner cartridge for my LaserJet 5M. I bought an original HP 98X high capacity cartridge off ebay and it only lasted a few months before grey streaks started showing up on the paper. I found out this is most likely due to a failed wiper blade and that they deteriorate with age so...

Thanks. Do you know if there's a diagram of how the different components on the logicboard communicate? I've seen them for other types of computers and even found one for G4 but no luck on other Macs yet. EDIT: Found it - see attachment.

Finally found a really nice 8500 semi-local and cheap. After the usual UV treatment to bring the plastics back to beige it will be like new. :) Does anyone know if the video capture circuitry on the 8500 shares bandwidth with the PCI slots?

Yeah strange there was no pic. I just looked at the ebay page again and realized it was the 8 slot chassis and the one I remember being listed for $700 or (may never have sold) was the small two slot version.

Did anybody here snag the Second Wave PCI-Nubus expansion box that just went on ebay for $50? http://cgi.ebay.com/Rare-Second-Wave-Xpanse-pn800-PCI-Nubus-box-/330600708523?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4cf95679ab I've never seen one in person though I remember seeing one listed for a long...
