Okay, so I know you can swap in a QS cpu in a DA g4. I've heard about being able to do it on a pci/agp g4 with some heavier mods. Basically, you have to remove the ATA port, but you still have one issue: it will run at the slower bus. Now, I saw a post where somebody said they had fixed this...

A friend of mine has offered to give me an imac g5 for the price of shipping. I don't currently have any PPC macs in use (got my b&w g3 in my closet and my 450mgz g3 imac sitting unused) and I really want to put this one to use. I feel like a G5 is fast enough to use as a modern computer for...

I've never ran linux on a ppc mac before and I was wondering what would be the best distro for a 500mhz imac with 256-512mb of ram. For the time being it won't be connected to the internet, but if the distro supported or support exist for airport cards that would be great. The main use of this...

Well, I'm just tossing the idea around in my head (maybe this belongs in mods more?), but I can't find any info on somebody doing an ATX conversion of a G5 iMac. I seem to recall finding some stuff about using an ATX PSU, but not a case conversion. I also seem to have trouble finding the...

I have not actually gotten the machine yet, but one of my good friends from huntsville has a mac mini and I asked him if he would sell it to me I was thinking maybe he'd take 80 for it when I asked about the machine he said he would give it to me. I insisted apon giving him something for it and...

A friend of my moms was looking to upgrade her mac. She went from a 933mhz w/ 256mb of ram and a big ol clunky crt to my dual 1ghz g4, 1.5gigs of ram and the 17" adc monitor. I made 300dollars for selling/installing and setting up some stuff for her and then she offered me her older quicksilver...

I sold my emac to a friend for 90buckss he had been wanting a mac, but doesn't really have the money so I sold him the emac hes just going to pay me a little with each paycheck, but I don't really care as I needed room for my new tv and such. Another friend is going to buy my quicksilver w/adc...

I've got my b&w g3(450mhz) with 1gig of ram and I'm not using it for too too much, but what I am wanting to put it to use for is a file server to do this I would need to put in for now a 1tb drive and eventually 2. Hell, might as well future proof this concept (a little atleast) Lets say for...

I picked up 4 b&w g3s which I believe 2-3 of them have hd/ram a beige g3 a perfect condition powerbook 180c w/ power adapter an performa av (might be using the wrong name) The guy had alot more stuff and just told me any time I want some stuff to give him a call I got it all for free...

I picked up a g5 dual 2ghz today it came with no ram, the fans in front of the g5s are missing, no video card and no ram (it does have a super drive though). Now i've looked up and it says it takes pc 3200 ram, but a pc 2700 stick fit fine, I don't know if it'll fit, but no cigar or what just...

I bought an adc lcd, like new condition not a single mark on this baby and it had the original box with manuls and everything here is a pick of it hooked into my qs http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/8903/adclcd.jpg oh yeah it was 35bucks too.

osgeld gave me his powermac 8500 and a friend is going to use it for working on classilla and testing it on actual hardware, but we had another idea i noticed it has video in/video outports and I heard that other older macs made good live video editing and anybody that has ever done video hates...

Hey, the first mac I ever had was an apple iic it pains me that I do not know what happened to it as it came with that and about 200 floppys or so with tons of non pirated software. My next machine I was given was an LC II and I just have fond memories of using it. It was the first computer I...

I picked up a broken quick silver yesterday for the handles I needed for my quick silver inside the qs was a superdrive, zip drive and a ati rage card got that for 10 bucks then the guy said he'd give me a blueberry crt for a ride up the street to drop stuff at kinkos (his car didnt have enough...
