    Mac Pro... not sure if want.

    I'm no masochist, 10.4 will not be the primary OS, I'm only going to boot into it in special circumstances that require its use. Otherwise she'll be running 10.7, Windows 8 and Ubuntu. The aim here is a triple boot system, eventually.

    Some Nice Gadget Conquests

    Ah man, the Dell Axim was my first and last Windows Mobile Device. I had been a diehard Palm fan, but WM was AWESOME. How novel the internet seemed from a handheld in the days before the smartphone era.

    Pro tip for recapping boards

    I had this great idea for no hassle Cap removal. Get your favourite bench supply, set it to the highest output possible and plug it into leads of the offending cap in reverse bias. Be patient, this may take a few seconds; when you see it start to vent the mystic blue smoke you know you're...

    Mac Pro... not sure if want.

    Not really vintage... surplus maybe. They're letting a Mac Pro go at work; the options are I can have it for free or I can sell it for them.

    I'm really excited!

    That poor old girl looks pretty beat up, but hey, at least she boots like a champ. All said and done, that's really the most important part! PS: Highly recommend the CF adapter. It made my powermac actually usable.

    To boldly go...

    THE VOICE ACTING IS AMAZING. Yeah 25th Anniversary is so good, it was my first Mac game. I always coveted my friends DOS cd copy that had the real voice acting. This game (FU) is actually really awesome and in the same vein, I'm excited to keep playing it!

    What I've received as of late...

    If I still had it I would still be rocking my 3GS. Far superior to the 4 (in terms of subjectives like aesthetics, etc) imo, but sadly the 4 is what I have now.

    What are we looking at? Is this basically a duo sans shrouding, or is this a mishmash of different components? More deets for ignorant masses (me), please!
