I'm probably some sort of goof for trying to make this happen, but I recently acquired a mid-2006? black Macbook A1181 with a Core Duo T2500 onboard, and it's pretty wrecked. I have to replace the entire top casing and bottom casing, optical drive (which will probably get a hard drive adapter)...

This topic seems to fit in the hardware hacks section... although this is about an Intel mac. I have a Late 2009 Mac Mini 2.53 I picked up in late 2012 for $100 with a broken hard drive and 2 gigs of RAM. 8GB of Crucial RAM, a 1TB hard drive, and a thermal compound re-paste later, and I had...

So I finally got keys for the car I had my Quadra 700 stuffed into the trunk of... pulled it out last night and just got to it today to see which video card was inside. I remember it having GX printed on it, and so I thought for the longest time it was a Thunder IV GX. This was pulled out of a...

Got another call from my friend that deals in scrapmetal. big huge pile of all manners of PC stuff to go through for anything. grabbed my two car radiators and dropped them off and in, along with some computer scrap. picked up another computer for someone, etc. What it looked like when I got...

(I originally ended up writing this as an update post to my IIvx thread, but I decided that this required its own thread. I'm taking on some repairs to new client machines, so I'll be able to afford proper caps for the IIvx soon.) So my friend that buys and sells machines and scrapmetal, the...

Friend of mine a few streets over has a scrapmetal business running out of his garage-- he buys old computer equipment, AC's, Fridges, etc. for scrap pricing from people that want it gone and makes a profit on it. He called me up Friday afternoon and said "I have some space-age looking Macs...

The other day I picked up a Power Computing Power Tower Pro 250 after being tipped off that it was sitting without a pricetag on a shelf at the thrift shop. Went to the back, got a $20 pricetag on it, went up front, hey, it's 50% off day! Paid $10 and left. Sat for two days. I suspected it was...

I'm pretty sure this is the correct subforum to post this in-- I need to track down the Mac OS 9 Audio Update version 1.3, in probably the worst way. I have no USB Audio Extension on my machine, and all links that point to the file via Google or otherwise point to the downed file in the dead...

So I messed up my logic board while replacing it back in after extensively cleaning the green wax Apple called thermal transfer material. This was about a week ago, didn't do anything about it because I got it working, but it's still somewhat malfunctioning. in my stupidity I took off two...

I just recently liberated an original '01 500MHz Titanium Powerbook G4 from a relative in rough shape, bent bottom casing (seriously? bent titanium? How was that managed?) and missing plastic and cracks along such on the top casing... After some fiddling around with swapping HDDs out (it still...

About two years ago I liberated a Classic II from a yardsale for $10, which included a mouse and keyboard (now currently lost, using an old late 80s mouse at the moment.) It had a strange problem where it would not boot, but would show stretched boxes and such everywhere. I put it aside and...

Hey all! I'm new here as a user, but I've been browsing the forums for the past couple years... I decided to become a user since I now have a working 68k Mac in my posession.   Anyways, I seem to be having a couple problems with my QUadra 700 So far, it still has the 25MHz '040, it has 20MB...
