i don't have equipment to polish these up but i was able to clean the plastics up rather well... also the antiglare film on those monitors tends to start deteriorating if not taken care of properly (and also due to age), so you'll need to take it apart and peel off the film.

Got all of this for $80 from a guy in my city yesterday. Everything works (except the gigabit G4 which has a bad PSU) but also I really need to clean these up badly. They weren't stored in a good area and are very dirty....

Hello... I have a PowerMac G4 Gigabit model with an AcBel PSU that does not power on. The capacitors don't seem to be leaking or bulging but I'm getting absolutely nothing out of the PSU. Apparently theres a guy on eBay doing repair services for these power supplies but I don't know what he is...

*sigh* after much screwing around i now have a working "A1208" iMac with a functioning board and with the wires re-routed properly from their original positions for the A1195 motherboard to the other board. granted i had to track down another broken iMac to fix this one but now i have a nicer...

the macintosh IIsi was a cheaper, low cost alternative to the IIci... so its a bit haphazard in terms of internal design. it's an okay machine and it works for what it is.
