Why not get a fast G3 upgrade for it?

They work ok up to a point depending on your systems bus speed etc. I think your model is 50mhz?? In that case I would buy anything up to 400mhz. At some place (check DealNN) I saw…

Sorry, didn't look at your specs properly. I'd probably stick with getting a cheap G3 upgrade!

That 9600's a helluva expandable machine! 12 RAM slots, 6 PCI, more drive bays than you can shake a stick at! This is a machine from the era when Apple thought less about the need…

www.macsolutions.com They have the cheapest RAM, go chuck it full. ------------------ People aren't as dumb as you think. Wait, what was I thinking, 90% of the world uses WINDO…

Yeah, but they only sell DIMM's up to 64MB. I'd buy a pair of 128MB DIMM's. G4/400 say would be good if u r doing graphics. Otherwise get a G3. If the G4 upgrade you get claims i…

Is 256 Megs of memory not enough for a mac, it seems fine for me right now... SCSI is just so darn expensive now a days and I'd rather go with the inexpensive ATA drives. I may wa…

can't seem to find that voodoo card for $60 at outpost... sounded like a deal...

Get a Voodoo3 3000 for 'bout US$100, that'll make a big difference with graphics...

You can always paint it while your waiting for OS X PB to come out on the 13th. Crackle spray paint looks really cool. I know, I know, not much of a hardware hack, but it's a bit …

No way. lime green. Then put strobe stripes on it and put a repro AAR sticker on it. Mmmmm...1970 AAR cudas....mmmmm Ca$h PS: HOODPINS! YOU NEED HOODPINS!

Nah, give it a nice black finish... Cipher13

You guys are crackin' me up... Do they make 4wd units for these things too?? ------------------ - Eric [This message has been edited by IFLY2HIGH (edited 09-07-2000).]

I think the Voodoo deal just fiinished. It was like $89 before rebate and had a $30 rebate. You can still get great prices on those card around the place though.

Since you are into this Mac cheap, look around for good deals and start replacing stuff with newer parts... I have been tweeking my 8500 for 3 years now and it will come VERY close…

Sounds like a aerious machine!! You got some pictures of some of the modifactions?? The Zip dirve for the Floppy was impressive along with your cooling method... Thanks... ------…

Has anyone seen any cool hacks for changing the appearance of the iBook? I have seen some interesting things for the Powerbook, but none for the iBook.

I saw some painted (or something) iBooks on a Japanesse site, but there was no English translation. The one that struck me was black except for the center portion which was a neon…

I have an old Powerbook Wallstreet what could i do with it. Its a 233 w/ 512k cache and the case could use some remodling

I think it is "Newer" that has just come out with fast G3 upgrades for the Wallstreet. You could get one of these. Other cool stuff would be if you could find a DVD module for it …

i was wondering if anyone knew where i could get a picture of the 17 inch iMac from appleinsider

Well, seeing as how it doesn't exist, you'll have a hard time finding it.

The closest you can get to that is to hook up a 17" display to an iMac DV or iMac Special Edition.
