I had been wishing for a Blue & White G3 for awhile because it's one of the coolest Mac to me. Not to mention the great compatibility to different hardware (USB/FireWire/SCSI/ADB) and software (Mac OS 8.5.1 till 10.5.8 with CPU upgrade).  However the G3s are getting rare in where I live...

I was surfing around a local Mac forum (I'm in Hong Kong) last night and spotted a post for giveaway of a "Power Computing Mac Clone" :O The post was posted for about 15 minutes so I quickly replied him without a second thought. There wasn't any information on the specs of the machine at all...

Walked around town yesterday with my friend and spotted a store with lots of stuffs inside. My friend was looking for a video card to fix his G3 as it doesn't show any video after power on. So we asked the shopkeeper if we can get the video card from those dusty Xserve they are selling... Well...

Good day everyone! I just found a cheap (HK$20; ~US$2.578) Sonnet Crescendo G4 400/1M this afternoon when I was walking around in town. It's really cheap and works with my 8600/250! :O I didn't think much when I buy it. The lady looked at me and says "It's for Apple...?". I guess she regrets...

I just got a Color Classic again. The enclosure was fine but it won't power on. I tried several keyboards and cables and still no luck. :( The fan runs and LED lits when I removed the mother board and switch on via the switch at the back. So I assume the power supply is functional? Or that's...

Just got a Macintosh Plus from local auction site. Comes with Macintosh Plus 1Mb, Mouse, Keyboard and a box of original manuals (with disks). Too bad the case is yellowed and so dirty. Also, I think it has a bad power supply as it makes boot beep continuously, followed by some "geep" sound that...

Last year I got an Apple PC Compatibility card without the cable, so I can't do much with it. This evening when I was walking around (an about to leave, again) I saw a box of Apple DOS Compatibility card sitting on the shelf of a store. So I walked in and asked the stupid question: "Is it for...

Yesterday when I was walking around in the old town, I saw a Pismo sitting on the shelf of a store when I was about to leave that place. So I quickly checked the Mac and asked the guy, he said it's for sale: only HK$500 (About US$64.515) 8-o That is a PowerBook G3/500MHz/320MB RAM/12G...

Two days ago when I was scanning the local auction website I found a Macintosh Classic :D I paid HK$250 (about US$33) and grabbed this little Mac home. It was having a bad PSU, causing the screen so wavy. Checkerboard pattern also appear when I power on the computer. So I washed the...

Hello all :b&w: I saw a dead PowerBook 2400 floating around a local auction website and starting price is just HK$99. The seller should be an experienced Mac collector and he says probably the motherboard is dead (Green Light of Death). That's why he is selling it as parts. I've got a...

I got a SE/30 which has a dead Floppy Drive and Hard Drive. But there were no vertcal bars (jail bars) on the screen. Things just going wrong and I don't know why it has vertical bars on the screen now. I tried to reseat and replace RAM but it doesn't help. Any other possibilities for this...
