Yeh, the current prices on eBay now are crazy. I scored my iBook, AirPort base station, extra battery, extra charger all in the original boxes with an extra 128M stick of RAM and a bonus "iBook for Dummies" all for $150. It seems nowadays anyone with an iPad is a fanboy. They dig their Dad's old...

There's a graphite in the box on ebay right now, but the guy's charging $775 for it. That's a sin.

Very nice piece. I was lucky enough to score an original in the box with an AirPort Base Station, extra battery and adapter. I love the clamshells. I'd love to get one of the graphites too.

...I'd love to play it on my Cube so I can take a picture of it for my site. Thanks

@TheMacGuy Yes, keeping both. Never know when I'll get my hands on another one. So it's always good to keep a back up. If I want to keep this machine for another 10 years, a spare logicboard, power supply, etc might come in handy.

There's no comparison between my 27" and 30" Cinema Displays. They're only 3 years apart, but in that time the price had dropped from $1699 for the 30" to $999 for the 27". It's not just $700 cheaper but the LCD is orders-of-magnitude better than the 30".

You're not kidding. I had to move my 128K and 512K to make it fit. Don't know what I'll do once I splurge for a 20" monitor. I guess it'll fit. I'd love a 23", but that seems overkill for a machine that's probably not going to see enough action to justify such a large display. I'd like the 20"...

Here's a link to the writeup on my blog for my first Cube with a 17" monitor. The new Cube with 15" monitor. And the rebuild combining the best of both Cubes.

I'm in the middle of writing up an extensive blog post on my site. I'll post a link to it when it finished uploading, but here's a pic: PowerLogix 1GHz G4 1.5GB RAM Nvidia GeForce 2MX 32MB 400G Seagate SuperDrive Airport OS X 10.5.8 17" Studio Display

Alright! Now that's starting to look like something. Can't wait to see the finished results!

I want to dump the 400GB IDE drive that's in my Cube. The CPU has been upgraded to a PowerLogix 1GHz G4 and the video card has been upgraded to an Nvidia 2MX. Since I'm using the original VRM, I'd like like conserve some power and keep the heat down by dumping the toasty Seagate drive in favor...

As I suspected, it's the gasket. I taped a small piece of antistatic bag over the power switch proximity sensor and it works like a charm. When I shut the Cube off, it stays off.

Excellent project. I could definitely benefit from having one of those. Can''t wait to build one! Looks like you got those boards from OSH Park, right?

Personally, my favorite magazine of the 80s was "3-2-1 Contact". In 1984 I was in 4th grade. My teacher used to get all kinds of kids magazines for use to read. (Anyone remember "Highlights?). Anyway, I fondly remember that she'd let me borrow her 3-2-1 Contact magazines (until I convinced my...

Here's mine: Those top two shots ares actually older pictures, I've since added the shelf and some more laptops, but you coudn't see the whole shelf in this last shot.

I got the Cube in. Still waiting on the PowerBooks. It turns out the Studio Display is a 15" monitor, not 17". I guess that's OK. I already have a 17" on my other Cube. I'd rather have a 17" and a 15". That way I have "one of each" instead of "1 extra"! This Cube is a screamer! The proc has...

Is this one of those "I'll take it if it works, otherwise it's not worth fixing?"because I see a few logicboards on eBay for under $50 bucks.

I bought a 128MB stick from CompUSA for my PII box back in 1998/1999. It was on sale for $99. Normally about $130, so ~$1 a Meg. I remember my Dad telling me how the price had really come down. Back in the day when he bought his 486 Gateway, the 32MBs of RAM he bought was $3200. $100 a Meg!

Yeah, definitely sounds like an analog board issue. I checked the scrolls. The only thing I can see that's close is this: Maybe a mild case?

Ha. Reminds of the time my brother picked up a box of hors d'oeuvres my Mom had in the kitchen and asked her what "horses doovers" were.
