I now have a little collection of tray loaders! The Strawberry(pink) Imac is working well, I bumped the ram to 256mb, I use it on the net for a few days and then hitch up the Lime…

I think this is one of the more uncommon colours from the flavour era. Click to expand... I have 2 pink ones, 1 Indgo 1 Blue berry I think the pink ones are more popular

That would explain it. I will confirm it if it works. Right now I am just letting it sit for a couple of weeks before I start to clean and tinker.

Even the 1987 Mac II used a temperature-responsive fan. Clear the dust and blockage away, and that might make the fan throttle down.

Looks like an Inwin case with a custom motherboard tray (they slide out completely so you can put in the motherboard and cards then mount it).

The Mac II and IIx used one version of the PSU; the "real" IIfx used a revised version (with variable speed fans?). Part numbers are:661-0375 Power Supply Mac II, IIx 120watt 661-…

LOVE the Rambo one, excellent. :rambo: :-*

While the G5 can still be useful, there's already an OS and software it won't run. The Mac Mini is faster than his G5. The MacPro of course would be a lot better but it's 4 times t…

What's even more messed up is that right before I graduated, the school bought even more clones and those new clones used a slightly smaller version of the desktop version of that …

I would not switch to a Mac mini: - slower, more expensive hard drive and more expensive optical drive (if you ever want to replace it) - only one HD and one optical drive - non…

Downloading as we speak! ... But again, why a system specific OS 9 CD rather than a generic, retail version? Click to expand... The last retail OS 9.2.1 CD that I have is ©200…

Still going strong, why get a mini? a newer vid card for the G5, more memory and a faster HDD... come to about 250.00 and more speed... That is what I did and my G5 screams... 16…

The 128 is perfectly adequate given your budget constraints. For flashing information google themacelite. You may not be able to do a card with a 512K flash, off the top of my he…

Every time I see that Rambo smiley, I get the theme from "The A Team" running through my head - techno remix :rambo:

FYI a Rage 128 is the slowest performing video card that ever shipped in G4 Macs. You'll probably want to look for something faster, such as a ATI Radeon 8500/9000. Click to exp…

Dual 1.8 GHz Power Mac G5 purchased new - April 2004 IIRC. Upgraded to 1.5 GiB and OS 10.5, still going strong. I hope to upgrade to a Mini next spring/summer, but that may not ha…

the reason why Apple didn't keep going with the G5... There are 6 parts to it... in the end it's Jobs that said "Apple And Microsoft need each other"

I think the main problem with PowerPC is that the G4 was stuck at around 1.6 GHz, and the G5 was just too hot and power hungry to ever put into a laptop.

Yeah, they were made by a couple of fellow members :rambo: *merges thread*

I hopefully can keep my G5 for a long time, I Love the design.... simplistic and tough... I recieved my Mac Mini from Ebay Mini 2009 model and it seems that my G5 is just as fast,…
