Well we're about even. I spent $200 on my IIe with 2x Disk II and Apple mono monitor, plus whatever cards were installed. I did spend on gas (Nor Cal to Eugene) but I also spent a couple days visiting with my son and a friend on the way there and back, so it the gas only partially counts. That's...

$100 US American dollars?! That's quite a deal. Hopefully you didn't pay too much for the shipping, considering.

Thanks. Yeah just a generic early-2000's(?) PC tower. I had thought about going the Hackintosh route as well, as its a weird mix of Apple-esque aluminum and late '90s Dell vibes. It's actually quite large and amazingly lite. Could be some sort of server. Or a sleeper system.

Gotcha. I just have the Gigabit with its power supply. I looked into the recapping. Parts aren't too much from what I can tell, even for the full monty replacement. But my SMD skills are pretty poor. I'd have to look into sending them off to someone who'd be down for the repair. I'll post specs...

Considering the sub-par packing job, I am absolutely amazed that it arrived in basically unscathed condition. Especially during the holiday rush period. The computer gods were smiling upon you. Great looking system. Just last month I drove to pickup a IIe system (you can read about it here)...

Guy on a semi-local Facebook Marketplace (when your in Far-Northern California 1-1/2 hour drive is semi-local) posted a giant lot of Intel MacPros and some G4 towers for sale. It had sat up there for a few weeks. Inquired if he'd be willing to part out just the PPC towers. After some haggling...

Thanks! Once I get the power supply recapped, I can actually turn it on again! Yeah, I saw that. Wasn't sure Not sure how much I really NEED a 3.5" floppy. Then again how much is ANY of this actually *needed*? The Yellowstone I mentioned in my 3.5" floppy rant above, and @Skate323k137...

Very nice! I had been casually picking up Apple II items in hopes of stumbling across a IIe PDS card. So I have the Unidisk 5.25, the Apple 5.25 Drive, a Laser (VTech Laser 128 clone) 3.5" floppy, and a pair of Apple branded game paddles. My IIe looks to have the controller card for both the...

Thanks for the additional info. Good to know incase replacing the 74125 doesn't solve the issue.

Wanted to spice up my G4 build. Did some plastics swap between a Blue & White G3 and the G4 Graphite case. Head over to this thread in the Lounge and tell me which you like best. PowerMac G4 "Blue & Silver" vs. "Graphite & White"

thanks!

SSDs can have a whine/hum when active. Maybe your issue? https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=ssd+access+sound&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

Agreed. Worth the drive, even with gas prices. The IIe was a former education computer and from the look of it, saw light use. Person I picked it up from got it directly from the school storage. He had some fun with it for a few months and put it on Facebook. It has a couple issues: RIFA cap...

The Apple IIe was $200 for the CPU, monitor, 2x Disc II and various installed cards. The Mitsubishi audio component system was $40 The iKey keyboard was $18 Compaq FS 7600 17" CRT was $10 Books were $2-3 each Visicalc VHS was $1 The rest was free (friends getting rid of extras)

For a guy who tells people he's downsizing his collection, I sure came back with a lot of stuff this weekend! Saw an ad post on the Eugene, Oregon Craigslist for an Apple IIe system. Made arrangements and headed north on Friday and broke up the 630+ mile round-trip with an overnight layover to...

Original Voodoo vibes on that graphic card setup.

Update: My Nvidia GeForce 4 MX ADC/VGA card is apparently dead. That would have been a solid graphics choice. Currently back to the ATI Rage 128. Trying to find another GeForce 4 or a Radeon 9000 with ADC & VGA that won't break the bank. The SCSI RAID is a dead end. Decided to stick with...

Subscribed! I add in an isopropyl alcohol rinse for circuit boards and electronics after the wash and rinse. Helps release the water. Also use an electronics rate air blower to flush liquid out, but not strictly necessary. And lube switches.

Subscribed! All of this, plus I rinse everything again with isopropyl alcohol (and also use an electronics grade blower to dry everything out). And lube the switches after washing!

AAAAAAAAAH HECK! Already pimping it out! Even being sold for the education market, it’s obviously upgradable as any Beige G3, so in a way maxing it out makes it a bit of a sleeper. LOL-ing a little bit thinking about the screaming performance of Putt-Putt and Fredi Fish titles running under...
