I need to open my recently acquired iMac G3 DV to adjust the focus on the screen and upgrade the HDD. I can kinda tell that the plastics are brittle, and was wondering if there is a safe way to open it up without breaking the tabs that hold the chassis together. I've worked with other compacts...

So recently I met this guy through my work that up until two years ago, was exclusively a mac repair specialist. I started talking to him and he took me to one of his storage units and let me have a look around. I wound up bringing two macs home. I'm certain I'm gonna go back there, as he has...

I was reading up on overclocking my LC III (using this guide here), and was wondering if it's worth it to do this modification to it. I'm thinking about installing OS 8.1 on it and figured that the speed boost might help it a bit. It has 36MB of RAM installed and a 1.2GB SCSI drive. So what...

I'm upgrading my Powerbook with an IDE to CF adaptor, and a 2GB CF card. I'm mainly trying this out to see if there are any speed benefits, but also because my powerbook doesn't currently have a hard drive (had to put it in my thinkpad). Now to wait for slow shipping from china for the adaptor.

I just got a Power Macintosh 8500 and was wondering, does anybody else have one, and what do you do with it? Also, what are the specs on your 8500. I'm using mine for browsing the web with classilla, doing various OS tests, and playing some classic games on it (since it has a better graphics...

This was an interesting one: I work in a small PC/Cell Phone/Grocery/Random store near my house, and some teenager brought in an HP monitor(an HP w1907) it would turn on and then turn off, he then proceeded to sell it to my boss for $2 dollars. My boss asked me to see what was wrong with it...

I prefer the Apple Keyboard II due to it's small size and great keys. :beige:

I got this about a week ago, but didn't get around to setting it up till now. I ordered a WaveLAN Silver that was firmware upgraded to a Gold card from ebay, and it works quite well. I'm currently using it with my PowerBook G3 (WallStreet rev.2), with airport drivers. I'll post pics when I...
