    PowerBook 190cs

    I didn't get it home yet. I'll take some pictures tomorrow.

    PowerBook 190cs

    I am not worried about the door, I'll probably never even use this machine. The price I was asking is what would one expect to pay for one of these if they wanted to buy it. When I said I looked on ebay, I meant there wasn't any 190cs computers on there, at all. I know they aren't very rare or...

    PowerBook 190cs

    Got a PowerBook 190cs today with 8MB RAM, 500MB hard drive, about 300 floppies with software, webcam, Stylewriter printer, original sales invoices, all previous repair paperwork, original manual and a ton of other paperwork I didn't even look at yet. The machine works great! Only thing wrong...

    2.5Ghz MacBook Pro $650USD

    I have the same machine except I am running with 4GB RAM. They aren't too bad. If the optical drive is just not reading media, spray some compressed air inside of it. You don't need to disassemble it, just stick the straw in and spray. I've fixed many drives like that. Dust gets in them very...

    Power Mac G4 Cube

    It's actually running Debian. I put the stock video card back in because it's much cooler too. I am just using it as a web server now.

    Power Mac G4 Cube

    Anyway, I am using the display with my MDD and the cube is basically um, just something to look at. It's too slow to be useful anymore. I was running geekbench on it and it just shut off so it may have issus anyway. Strange though, I had it running for hours before I brought it home. If I do...

    Power Mac G4 Cube

    The display definitely is not bad. It's just funny my 17" MacBook Pro's display is higher resolution.

    Power Mac G4 Cube

    For a 10 year old LCD it's not bad. It's massive and the resolution isn't as high as I'd wish for such a massive panel, but it's not bad.

    Power Mac G4 Cube

    Got this today from a coworker, 450 mhz Cube with some tiny amount of RAM and 20GB hard drive, DVD-ROM and Airport. Popped in 1.5GB RAM, 120GB hard drive, ATi 7500 32MB and loaded 10.5.8, 10.4.11, 10.2.8 and 9.2.2 on four partitions. Came with a clean Apple Pro Keyboard and Mouse (of the black...

    A curbed computer gem!

    MDDs are pretty awesome. You can upgrade them to be pretty respectable and have loads of expansion. I just built up my MDD. I got a dual 1.42ghz CPU (and overclocked to 1.58ghz on stock voltage) with copper heatsink from work (for free) and I had a FW800 logic board I threw in a while ago...

    I got a free TiBook today

    I wasn't aware Titanium PowerBooks had those GPU issues. That could explain why mine sometimes boots without video but if I fool around with it and move it around and flip it over a couple of times it sort of works for a bit. Shame it's a nightmare to take the logic board out of those.

    JB Weld + broken TiBook hinge = success

    I think it lasted a few months. It was just a broken hinge like yours.

    JB Weld + broken TiBook hinge = success

    I did this with mine a year or so back (with JB Weld) and actually reinforced it much more than you did and it still didn't last very long. Opened it up one day and SNAP.

    Imac G5 LCD issues

    Give me your serial number and I might be able to help with info on the LCD. By the way the easiest way to check if the line is in the display or not is to take a screen shot. If it's not in the screen shot, it's the panel. I can look up EEE codes and see what other models had compatible LCDs.

    Macbooks and iMac

    They all work fine.

    Macbooks and iMac

    Free. Recycled where I work for having damage. One had milk spilled in it and I think the other one actually just had a smashed LCD. I've been slowly building fixing them up so I lost track. The iMac just had a bad hard drive.

    Macbooks and iMac

    I picked up a Mid 2007 2.16ghz white macbook and a 2.0 ghz first gen black macbook. Both work fine, were liquid damaged and recycled and easily cleaned and work fine. I swapped the logic board from the white into the black so it has white ports and now Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM. Also got a 1.8ghz...

    Bunch of PPC

    The hinges are fine. I really don't like shipping overseas but if you're willing to deal with all the BS involved with it, I'll do it. You can have it for the cost of shipping/fees. I got it free anyway. Comes with no hard drive and RAM.
