So without a fan I would be concerned about damaging components in the PSU due to excessive trapped heat....Apple included a fan with the SE to try and avoid any reoccurrence of th…

As of this morning, $99 in plastic money is $82.28 in paper money.

P.S.: please be so kind to share your results for the Q630 here.

Check with Mike Richardson on this board. I believe his outfit offers a capacitor replacement service and it might be more affordable than the Ebay company you found.

That's a nice looking job 4seasonphoto. Thank you for posting it. The ChipQuik is a bit of overkill for capacitors, but it will make them easier to remove using just one solderin…

$99 :O 8-o > :-/ Click to expand... How much is that in REAL money? jt [)] ]'>

The components in the SE's PSU are placed very close together, most of the capacitors touching. I would think this makes it more difficult for air to travel through the unit. Anoth…

I've got a lot of the RadiusWare diskettes and manuals, some for monitors as I was looking for all the docs I could find for the Radius FPD that I never got. But most info/software…

Well part of the problem is the enclosed PSU. So the extra airflow is really needed, IMO, to help cool the enclosed PSU. Click to expand... This is an interesting quandary. Fi…

I use Apple IP Gateway (available from preterhuman.net) Click to expand... So how do you get "Apple IP Gateway" from preterhuman.net without using the Hotline/KDX clients?

I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure these are not available online. Although I don't actually need these manuals, it would be nice to look through them, and to keep them for a…

Well part of the problem is the enclosed PSU. Before the SE, the PSU was exposed on the analog board. But with the SE, Apple used a Sony PSU unit which has its own case and PCB, se…

It's also how you can use both sides of a single-sided disk. Double-sided disks for all other computers have two index holes. This is why when you get a disk which has IBM and Appl…

My G5 iMac has this same problem. It rarely shuts down by it self (But it has) but more often than not it wakes itself up from sleep. My CPU is running @ 146 F

The chap I got a Radius Two Page Display (Radius Mono 20GS) from a year or so ago has just given me a couple of associated rarities after a bout of move-inspired housecleaning: the…

My wife's iMac G5 started running warmer than normal (75C to 80C) and the fan started getting noisy. So I opened it up for the 3rd cleaning and noticed all the bulging capacitors! …

Does anyone have a clue to why the "Hours of Use" (the one you get in TechTool) gets reset a few times a week? It should display something like 43000 hours since 2004/3/19, but ab…

thanks for the info guys - silenx it is then. saying all of that - i wonder how a duel floppy SE would fair without a fan - they had them too after all. anyway -thanks again

$99 :O 8-o > :-/

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? Click to…

Alright, tried my best to fix everything. Hopefully it looks good!

I'd be looking at installing a quieter fan. The Elina Fan was used in a lot of Macs from that era (I have both an LCII and an LCIII with them, they're pretty easy to find), and is …

Very nice haul, I remember back at my old job (cicra 2005) I was in charge of maintaining 5 dual 1.25 Ghz MDDs (as well as about 20 eMacs and one G5)...running Panther and pre-CS A…

Running without a fan is possible, but as you will then have the rough equivalent of a Plus, it's not a great idea. Click to expand... Meaning, the SE has significantly more ro…

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…
