When you consider the context and era of the list, it's perfectly reasonable.  http://www.floodgap.com/mirrors/worstmacs.html

That's why I never bothered tracking down the PPC card for my Q700. I'd rather have a fast 68k than a slower than dirt PPC. So I agree, leave the 68k cards in the active matrix machines.

Clicking to me sounds like too much power. Those IIsi PSU's are supposed to be pretty picky IIRC. 

I've run that same disk in a 12" PowerBook and a 14" iBook, without any issues.

It'll be pads on the chipset and GPU, most likely paste on the CPU.

The 2000/2100/eMate share adapters. The 1xx series uses a different one.

It's a 13w3 connector. Some displays (I want to say the portrait ones?) used it. That's probably this card: http://lowendmac.com/1989/macintosh-ii-portrait-video-card/

The cards are very different; the original AirPort used a reversed PCMCIA connector (IIRC) while the AirPort Extreme used a card edge connector. You'd be better getting a third party solution.

Well, the thing is, that $281 is the tray price, not any kind of retail price. That's their price when you're buying them by the thousands. And Intel likes their margins just like Apple does.  Even if they sell it to Apple for $120 a chip, that's still a good deal that can be saved. 

Core M's problem? Intel's tray price on it is $281 a pop. I'm sure Apple gets a better price, but I doubt it's *that* much better, and Apple doesn't have to make a profit on their A-series chips, which are estimated to cost $20-$40 a pop to manufacture. But I think any ARM move is five years...

More than decent; Apple's A series chips are nibbling at Intel's lower end chips, at a fraction of the cost.

The linked dual G4 proto above originally had a G5 in the casing, based on the serial numbers. 

You may be able to source a good 1680x1050 panel from a dead 17" MBP, there are plenty from the C2D pre-Unibody era with failed 8600M GPU's. 

The 1xx series (minus the 190) are still easy enough to get batteries for. Perhaps a 180c?

Aren't CDR's like...10 cents each now?

When they've been unplugged a while sometimes you need to leave them connected. Reset button might help too.

$15 is a good price. If he doesn't have the original power adapter (they're a flat black slab, roughly the size of a 2.5" hard drive) you'll need to get one. Parts machines don't hurt, I would check to make sure none of them have had a hinge fail and ruin the display cable (you'll need to...

QT 7.6 should install fine, I did this recently. IIRC you can also use 7.7. They are both still on Apple.com.

Trayloaders had cheap fly backs that liked to fail, IIRC.
