    17" MacBook Pro (Santa Rosa) - $15 Total

    You might check with Apple and see if this model had been repaired already. If not, it might still be eligible. I had a friend who has a white MacBook and they were going to throw it out because of the battery bulging. I bought them a new battery off of eBay and its been working great ever since.

    Make sure that display you ordered is the whole enchilada. The LCD is fused to glass in the 4th gen, and the digitizer was too. Those 4th Gen iPod touches are pretty sweet. I had one before I got my iPhone and loved it. Got rid of it after I got my iPhone as I wasn't using it anymore. Too...

    Nice! Those last models with the Hi-Res displays were some of the best AlBooks Apple made, IMO.

    Sounds like a normal chime from any Instatower, maybe with a little more bass because of the Bose unit.

    A Very Fancy Brick

    The seller, AlltechWholesale, was the company that ran eBay's Instant Sale that shut down earlier this year (February I think). I was going to see how much they would give me for my iPad 2 when I was ready to sell it. One month, highest offer online, next month gone. Eventually popped the...

    Bought 3 items from haplain and they arrived today: Apple IIe (platinum) G4 Cube Box iPod 1st Gen Box IIe seems to work fine, but I need to get a composite cable to connect it to a TV (I can't believe I didn't have one). If I at least get some text on screen, I'm going to see about ordering...

    At first I thought you were joking, but you're serious aren't you? You actually have all those documents? If so that is CRAZY! Were they in the trash or something?

    haplain's never-ending quest

    I wonder what would happen if you slapped in an AT&T SIM. Speaking of which, do any if them use CDMA? I remember there was a discussion that the iPhone was original meant to be on Verizon. In fact, it almost was, but Verizon wanted to put their own bloatware and logo on the phone. Of...

    MORE PICS! MORE PICS! Please! I have to see some close up images. Those are amazing. Did you get them as 1 lot or all separately?

    Nice! Those adapters are not cheap. I don't remember how much I spent, but it was more then you spent, IIRC. Great deal!

    Thanks volvo! the CompUSA that was near me was only open for a few years. It opened in early/mid 2000's and closed in 2007. Don't remember much. :-/

    I never really got to see a CompUSA. The only thing I remember was going in there when I was little and seeing a case for iPod 3rd gen and thinking "This is weird".

    Thanks! The box is actually in pretty good shape. Also, I forgot; the box was from CompUSA, but at some point made it to a third party (pawn shop, swap meet, 2nd hand store) as $499.99 is written twice on the box.

    Picked up a Power Mac 6500/225 from a friend for $10, which included the original box. I forgot they were cat people (allergic to cats). Let it air out, and after partially disassembling it, I got a whiff of cigarette smoke, so I let it air out even more. Still smells like it, but it is not...

    Opinions on G4 Powerbook for a potential buyer

    What OS is it running? I would recommend pulling the RAM upgrade out of the computer (if there is one, it's under the keyboard and below a little metal shield secured by 4 Philips screws). Remove the stick and run it like that. If the problem doesn't happen again, the SODIMM chip is bad. If it...

    Mac Classic Screen 'Wobble' (Caps?)

    I could have sworn that Cap Epidemic was in the early/mid-2000's. I remember because I have seen some computers from that era (non-Apples) with cap bursting and leak problems.
