Both my IIfx units have 6 Nubus cards installed, the fan is not that loud (not compared to a 950 anyway). Are you saying it is noisy with the cover off or on?

Has anyone seen this before? Click to expand... Well, let's see a photo then. I would also like to see a benchmark result from your accelerated Plus, preferably from Norton Sy…

Cool. I thought about ReCapping it as the other option is throwing out and I would hate to do that to a 1.25ghz emac. Anyways its good practice as I have to do it to my G5 (Leaky …

First of all, stop using the system immediately, Unplug it and remove the board if you have to. If you follow that advice, then you may have a pretty cheap repair job on your hand…

This is well off topic, but is your IIfx really loud? That fan really wants to move a lot of air, doesn't it? Presumably the fan has to be reasonably powerful in order to cool up …

So an eMac at my school has been acting up. I checked the CD Drive cover and it indicated to me that it is a 1.25ghz machine. What the machine does is, Sometimes not wake up from …

My 2nd IIfx is a mac II with a IIfx upgrade (and IIfx sticker on the bottom of the case). The IIfx upgrade came with a superdrive (since the II was an 800K equipped machine). Very …

I will, I think, give it a whirl, then, sometime in a month or so. Maybe putting it through a rinse cycle in the dishwasher would do the trick - I can then let the dishwasher take …

I'll take some piccies for the Photography/Documentation Thread Click to expand... In the meantime,here's a pretty good example of how a Plus upgrade was installed and the part…

Thanks, Franklinstein. I cleaned out the innards and tightened the screws. Everything seems fine now. It was very strange when it was happening, though. I always have Activity Moni…

Hey jt, how much effort does it take to make all of those smilies and bolds and underlines and italics that are so customary to your posts? : -Apostrophe

I have hosed off old AT power supplies with hot water (and a little liquid soap) before. As long as you let them dry out (few days to a week depending on local humidity) for a whil…

an 030 in a mac plus 8-o wow how fast is the 030? Click to expand... Could be 25 or 30 MHz, IIRC. The Plus/FatMac/128k Macs, if you were lucky, required only the "Killy C…

an 030 in a mac plus 8-o wow how fast is the 030?

I have retrieved monitors (high voltage components) and power supplies after a thorough soaking in Mother Nature's distilled water from the sky. As long as they are well dried, I …

Fairly common upgrade for the Plus and SE. See LowEnd Mac's section on Plus Accelerators. Here's a speed comparison on the popular Brainstorm card.

Has anyone seen this before? I bought a Plus on eBay for $10 and it has a daughtercard with an 030 (and FPU). I bought the Plus just to get a working analog board, so wasn't expe…

My recently-acquired IIfx (with Mac II top cover) came to me in an excessively grimy condition. Oddly enough, because it cleaned up so well, the layer of dirt may have actually pre…

Thats one ugly mofo.

a fast G4 upgrade Click to expand... Yeah, good luck with that. I've been trying to find a good price on one of these upgrades for months, with no luck at all. They regularly f…

Ambitious? Tell 'im 'e's dreamin'!

Egg cartons and icecube trays work nicely too.

I was curious as to why the eBay offering might have needed to be held—almost as if just the isolated rear and front panels were available for display—while it was having its pictu…

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 …

Yeah, most of the Tanzania clones simply used PC cases. The Mactell (hah, nice name) and APS M-Power systems (which were also Tanzania based from memory) also used the exact same c…
