Hi,
With the advent of Snow Leopard, G4 towers sure are getting cheap these days ... picked up this beauty for AUD $99! It came in pristine condition (bar many stickers on the si…
I hate the ones even more when I dream about getting a nice new car...and I wake up and I'm all happy about being able to go for a drive in my new car and all....and then I realise…

Running without a fan is possible, but as you will then have the rough equivalent of a Plus, it's not a great idea.
I believe JDW did some research on suitable fan replacements. T…
hello wacky - its been a while.
anyway from that you mean just pull it out and stick another one in?
seems simple enough - any provisions or traps i need be aware off?
my fan is noisy!
i am sure that it is no noisier than anyone else's fan, but recently its been bugging me.
has anyone ever ran their SE without the fan?

I have a Quadra 700 here that constantly gets bus errors at startup, right before it would load extensions. Often though, this does not happen. The ratio is about 50/50 if I had to…

Question then comes down to. What I am thinking of that requires hard sectored disks.

Isn't that model number "M2943" for the defective 15" apple multiscan displays? Stay away... FAR away from them as well as the 1710's I have a 1705 and it has never given me a prob…
