I left my caliper at school before things were shut down, but here's a pic of the little rubber nubbin on my 14" iBook G4. Hope it helps! They are indeed just rubber feet. The screen turning off and computer sleep is handled by the reed switch along the right-hand side of the lid assembly, and...

And, just because I can, here's browsing this read from said monitor!

Haha, I know how to keep you lot happy. I've been around here on and off since before the 2007 Great Forum Crash, and it's good to dip my toes back in the waters here :) Besides, what's the point of a casemod if it doesn't look as much like the original as possible? Hence why I'm dremeling...

And that, my friend, is exactly what I was looking for! I completely brainfarted on overscan settings; after messing about with them in/boot/config.txt, everything is working wonderfully! And thanks, I quite like it. I love playing with my IIc+ on it, but it's a bit of a bear to drag out each...

After a quick teardown, there was a small adjustment knob on the right side just under the power button. It's not perfect, but it is quite a bit better now! I'm still curious where in there a horizontal sizing adjustment may be. If anyone knows, I'd be happy to rip into this thing again :)

Hello all! Quick question for you all; I have an Apple Monitor IIc that works wonderfully, and I have been using it with my Raspberry Pi for a while now, running a couple of Apple II emulators when I don't feel like bringing out my IIc Plus. The only issue that I have with it is that the left...

Haha, nope, I added that on from my collection. The original Apple TV is a nice-looking little box; if you took an older Mac mini and squashed it flat, then reversed the colors of the plastic on the top (grey background, white text/logo), you have an Apple TV. The little thing is actually...

As am I! The SSD really makes a difference though, turning a miserably slow but adequate server into a decent little server overall. For those that might be interested, this is the SATA adapter that I wound up using; $3.77 shipped! And with a little bending of the SATA port to scoot it into a...

I'm not sure that I'd try upgrading the RAM in this little bugger - it's soldered on there via BGA. Shame, since it's such a wonderful little box only hampered by a crippling lack of RAM. As far as my server needs go, it isn't hampered much by its low RAM and slow HDD; it essentially just...

A dual G5 will make a great space heater while it's running as a server :p

I followed the directions listed here. It really works amazingly well. I set it up about two weeks ago, and it's been extremely solid ever since. I love having a server that's dead silent and fairly low powered, but still runs everything that I need it to. My needs aren't all that intense, so I...

...but still pretty nifty! I love repurposing old Apple tech, and this little project made me quite happy :) I've had a first-gen Apple TV since late 2007, and I've been absolutely in love with it. Despite its age, it is still a wonderful little set-top box. Recently, though, my fiancé has...

Nice one! It's always good to have a speedy PowerPC Mac around for old software - I keep an iMac G5 on my desk for that very reason :)

Always solid advice - if there is no way to upgrade the RAM in your machine, and you plan on keeping it for some time to come, get as much as possible.

This is a nice sight :)

I just upgraded the blue mini with a 32GB CF card, and it works like a champ! It's now the largest iPod that I own :) I also have a new battery for the 3G on its way here.

Check out this to see if the fix is something that you'd be likely to attempt. If it is, you can get a new hard disk from iFixit, eBay, or any number of other sources.

Horray, the third gen lives again! I always thought that the third generation iPod was one of the coolest-looking iPods around.

I rescued a trio of old iPods from the depths of my girlfriend's parent's cabinet this weekend! When I asked about them, they said "Oh, yeah, those old things haven't worked in years; they're yours if you want them." I wound up with two original 4GB minis (green and blue), and a 10GB 3rd gen...

Nice, congrats mate! I'd love to get my hands on a nice G5 tower some day; no clue what I'd do with it at this point, but it'd be nice to have regardless :D I'm still impressed at how much my one and only G5 Mac, the iMac, can do :)
