I sped up my L2 cache on my iMac DV SE to 200MHz (2:1 ratio). SETI@Home depends heavily on the L2 cache. So why is it since I sped up the cache that SETI@Home units take longer tha…

well it doesn't, at least not on my Mac though it is not an iMac it is a G3 (466MHz/1M L2) i use xlr8's Mach Speed software to boost cache speed to 217.2MHz (that is what it report…

More info here. More info here. Note: I didn't do it! Am perfectly happy with my stock G4 case. [This message has been edited by reader50 (edited 06-27-2000).]

Whoever did that must have really screwed up the 3 in the G3, it looks like a heart rathrer than the traditional mickey mouse... I swear the 3 is closer to the apple...

The second pic came from this arstechnica thread, about midway down. Just now, the three "Blackintosh" pics seem to be unavailable, btw. At least, it is not a link to AI.

Ha! The further info link works now, and I have posted it under the second picture. Here is another "Blackintosh" pic. http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?...160&Sequence=1 …

I think it looks dumb. The case is black and clear (cool) but the APPLE IS STILL GAY BLUE! No offense if you are gay. Its just a pansy color. Err.r.... sorry if you are a pan…

You void the warranty by putting in another hard drive? Where does it say that? That's dumb!

I wasnt trying to offend everyone. I was trying to make them laugh. But that requires some intelligence and a sense of humor, and considering you have neither, never respond to a…

I think he is a moron, actually. How could you void a warranty by installing a needed system component? Do you void the warranty by installing RAM? Installing a PCI card? The only …

trolling? hmm, what was that you were saying about intelligence?

Notice how he completely destroyed his message, after realizing that putting in a hard drive won't void a warranty. Rivak, I would like you to do HALF the stuff that Ca$h did with …

oh well, thank you both for flaming me, i feel really welcome at this bbs now. and why would i do something that ca$h did? i want to do something original instead of putting LEDs …

Uh, Ca$h hasn't done anything with LEDs. Do a little research to find out how he replaced daughtercards, video cards, CD-ROM drives, fans, etc. and tricked out an iMac without goin…

Whee, it's nice to see my Blackintosh around the boards. Here's my favorite pic: Just so you guys know, the black G3 with the blue apple logo on the monitor's side is not mine.…

Heh. Ironically Im getting LEDs soon. I figured if my iMac is "different", it should look it. Just you wait, you'll all be impressed... cuz its not just LEDs that Im using to…

webslacker, if you're going for the gothic black look for your G3, why not get the handles replaced with some wrought iron ones ? I'm sure some local blacksmith, or metal artist co…

That's a good idea. You gonna lend me some money so I can hire an iron smith?

If you lend me some to buy a G4 I think you'll need to spend some on a private detective to *find* a smith nowadays You could however, get the same effect by covering the exis…

Does anyone know of a source for EMPTY G4 cases?

I can get you as many as you want... only 1500 each. Ca$h
