    Bunch of PPC

    Everything but the thermometer and that could by why it's now dead. I got it for free so I didn't put much effort into it. The Titanium does have a good screen but it only will work on early models and I am not sure exactly which ones other than the one it comes with which is an original 500mhz.

    Bunch of PPC

    Yep, smells horrible and it gets worse as the machine heats up. I actually killed that iBook yesterday when I tried to reflow the GPU. It turned on and worked, and was fixed! I shut it down to put it back together and tried to turn it back on and the LED on the power adapter just glows red now...

    Bunch of PPC

    Power Mac G5 Dual 1.8, 2GB RAM and 80GB hard drive. I am pretty sure it barely used. Customer who recycled it said she never used it but bought it for her business and the person who was supposed to use it never did. Had 10.3.7 on it when I got it, which is what it shipped with. Checked SMART on...

    iMac G5 conversion?

    Sleep related issues are normally related to the power supply, assuming no caps are bulging or leaking on the logic board. An easy way to check for power supply failures is the search in the logs. You should be looking for "-110" and if any appear they should say something along the lines of SMU...

    Powerbook G4

    At my new job we'll take computers and recycle them if someone is buying a new machine. We're allowed to take stuff if we ask. There was a ton of stuff including desktops but I was taking the train to and from work so I couldn't carry a lot so I went for the best laptop I could find that worked.

    Powerbook G4

    Just got a free 15" PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz, 512MB RAM, 80GB hard drive. It only has a combo drive because it's a low end of the 1.67/1.5 model. It does have a decent battery that'll last around 2 hours. It's in like 7/10 conditon, screen is good, everything works just some marks on the casing. I...

    Sawtooth in a B&W case

    If you want to make a trip down to Deptford I have a B&W board with a 400mhz chip you can have for free. I have a power supply too if you want it.

    Power Mac G4 MDD Cooling

    It is not that strange. The case was actually designed to accommodate full size cards because they're not incredibly uncommon.

    Power Mac G4 MDD Cooling

    Oops I meant 60 degrees Celsius. You're running at 51.6 degrees Celsius. You're fine.

    Power Mac G4 MDD Cooling

    The power supply won't have issues unless you have an ADC display. The trickle power for the power button on it heats up the power supply but if the unit is off, the fans don't spin. You have to kill the power to the power supply if you use such a display if you shut it off or sleep it. Both my...

    Interest in PCI Powermacs?

    I had a lot of difficulty trying to install NetBSD on my 7300 with OF 1.0.5. I'd get it to boot the kernel and then the machine would reboot. It would do it so fast I couldn't see what the error was. Maybe it was a bad burn, but I got tired of fooling around with it. It's a shame because NetBSD...

    Interest in PCI Powermacs?

    I have a 7300 180mhz with 552MB (4x 128MB, 1x16MB, 3x 8MB) RAM and a 2GB SCSI and 7200 120mhz with 2GB and probably 32MB RAM. Both are basically useless to me so hopefully they're traded off soon.

    G4 sawtooth

    I am aware, I am just saying those are the specs of the machine. I have a Dual 1ghz (167mhz bus) MDD, 1.75GB RAM, same video card as the other machine, and again, it DOES NOT play 720p at an acceptable framerate. I tried multiple sources, multiple players, included Quicktime trailers from...

    G4 sawtooth

    720p.. barely. I had a Gigabit Ethernet G4 with a FastMac 1.5 ghz CPU upgrade, 1.25GB RAM, ATi 128MB Radeon 9800 Pro (which is core video supported) and it could not keep up with any 720p video. It would get about 18 fps.

    Screwy SMART status?

    Run Smart Utility. http://www.volitans-software.com/smart_utility.php The built in SMART status nonsense, is well, nonsense and nearly useless.

    HELP! Lost and Not Happy :-(

    You can extract a functional 9.2.2 install from the OS9 netboot available on Apple's site. I did run it on my 1ghz Titanium (everything the same as your's, all hardware except slower CPU), but it made it run INCREDIBLY hot, stressed the hard drive out where it actually failed (had 0 bad sectors...

    How much can I get for my G5?

    You'd be lucky to get $700. Honestly, you're insane to think you'll get more, or the buyer is a sucker. They're almost vintage. You never get your investment back with upgrades, and a lower end G5 dual 2.0 ghz is hardly worth $350. Just keep it, its not really worth selling and I am sure it's...
