The most remarkable thing here is that the “indirect method” that I’ve been using on the power supply brick has worked well! (I think one or two more treatments will do it!) Hopefully this is the last stretch for the Power Supply Brick!

I’m attempting the “vapour technique “ on the power supply. (I’ve wrapped up the chord and have placed it in a sealed container with another container inside containing 50% Hydrogen Peroxide.) This is purely an experiment! (to see if O(-2) with sunlight will do the trick?) (edited) Here’s...

I've just purchased this complete Apple IIc: (It's a complete working system!) Here's the complete system: (It's in very good condition, but will need a thorough cleaning and a retrobright) It came with all of its manuals and this selection of software: I have enough Hydrogen...

Yesterday I replied to this post in error, thinking that I was replying to a post by @Byrd on the thread regarding dual CPU’s in a Beige G3 and was unable to delete the post and the least I could leave was a full stop! I reported the post and asked for it to be removed, but clearly that hasn’t...

The new startup screen!

The one that I have looks different to that one, because it's specifically for the G3 Beige Mini Tower, as it's a tight fit: The one in the picture is longer and wouldn't fit into a G3 Beige Mini Tower.

I wonder if it wouldn't be possible to slot a 500MHz SONNET ZIF G4 CPU into the secondary slot and down clock it to 450MHz to match the CPU that's already installed? Even more interestingly, I have a spare 450MHz G3 ZIF CPU lying around, maybe it's possible to slot it into the secondary slot...

My XLR-8 MACh Velocity MPe CPU card arrived today! 🙂 After quite a bit of struggling I've got it up and running! (ended up repartitioning my OS9 disk when I didn't have to.) This little toy has cost me a hell of allot of money so far ,and it still needs its second CPU! (This is pretty much the...

How did you mount your fans to the heatsinks, it looks neater than the duct tape used in the guide?

The main reason for this purchase is to experiment. I’m a hardware collector and really like quirky hardware such as this! Each one of my systems needs to have something interesting about it, and in the case of the Beige system, this will be it. As far as the graphics are concerned, all I'm...

Nice work! It's best to get rid of the liquid cooling all together, as it will always require maintenance. Nice solution!

My mistake! I meant for the Beige G3 Mini Tower that’s in the picture. My B&W already has the 1GHz SONNET G4 upgrade.

I've opted to purchase this upgrade for my G3 B&W! (It will be an interesting thing to play around with!) I only run OS9.2 on this machine, so I'll try to get two G4 CPU's up and running.

Come to think of it, as far as laptops go it isn't actually that small!!!

Seeing that people were impressed as to how well this little system managed Unreal under Mac OS 9, I thought I'd show you this Quake III Benchmark under Mac OS X, as this little machine performs delightfully!!! :) I'm beginning to think that this is the perfect little retro machine for...

A quick demonstration of some classic games running in Mac OS 9 on a G3 iBook "Clamshell" laptop.

I'm glad to hear this, as these are pretty cool!

Here you go!

That's a third stage compressor disk from an RAF Tornado. When I eventually get around it, I'm going to mount it into a glass-topped coffee table! Here's a closer look at the turbine disk: Here's a model that I made up in Maya 6.5 on one of my SGI's as a concept:
