Excuse me, but I do beleive I titled this thread "iMac hardware hacks." hacks, being the operational word there. I know exactly what I'm talking about, and what I am looking for a…

So, you plan to unsolder the graphics chip and somehow stick on a new one and think it will work? Good luck; you're going to need it. The circuitry is made like an ATi Rage 128 VR …

Hmmmm I already said this 4 times, but... SOMEBODY keeps deleting my posts... Yes, this dude knows NOTHING about iMacs or he would know that: A. there are no PCI slots B. Yo…

I think I know where he's coming from. He's motivated by people telling him it's impossible. He wants to know if any of you are truly brave or rich enough to do some serious expe…

Have you ever SEEN the motherboard?!??! Do you really think that you could distinguish all that stuff? For the effort/time/money you'd pay into attaching an EXTERNAL videocard (v…

I added a Voodoo3 card to my iMac DVSE. The card was kinda big so about 3" of it has to stick out the slot loading DVD drive but it plays great!

Care to tell us how?

he's kidding (i hope) and if he isn't, he'll be dealt with.

He's joking. duh. Ca$h

Ummmm - duh - He wants to know about HACKS - See you do something everyone says YOU CANT DO IT - well you probably can do it it's just that no one has tried and you know what Im ti…

Okay, moron. Here are some hacks. 1. Open up the motherboard. Rip out the video chipset. Take off the chips from a Voodoo3. Solder them onto the ATi circuitry on the iMac's mother…

Kozmik speaks harshly but truly here... not much you can do other than a LED or two in the puck something like 'sine' did... sure enough though, if you feel like really taking cha…

Why do I get this feeling like some people who post on boards work for apple and try to instill this fear amongst mac users that you cant hack their macs and only in trying you wil…

Ok, time to get out the can of whoop ass. I'm going to read the label on this can for ya. "This can of whoop ass is specifically made for morons who have NO IDEA or CONCEPT of th…

I have been saying this in all of my posts (well, I've been saying more stuff is impossible, but you know, it's the same type of thing). If they won't listen to me, I sincerely hop…

Thanks. Sometimes people just need a good virtual bitch slap to knock some sense into them. Ca$h

One other thing. "mac users FEARING to modify their macs". What crack are you smoking? I konw TONS of people on this board modifying their macs. I'm going to be one of them. I…

HI, yeah, i totally agree. Sounds like a PC user! Ca$h and others have covered basically everything about the iMac and he still isn't satisfied. What is the point in spending age…

Yes, there is at least one hardware hack you can do for the iMacDV - clock it up. Doing so will *VOID your WARRANTY!* However, someone has already done it and even posted a web s…

Thats one hell of a first post Joe. I salute you, you seem to know yer sh*t. Ca$h

Thanx. I just wish the slot load iMacs had as many upgrade options as your rev A

thats a Rev D with a rev A motherboard and rev D daughtercard to you buddy! Just give it time. And Im still not happy with upgrades available for my puter. > I want …

Or is that now a rev.A with a rev.D daughtercard, case, and monitor? Or would it now be a rev.AD (after what?). But seriously, don't be so hard on the dude. Maybe he can see the b…

this will wander far afield from the imac section- but if the fellow wants to play with the guts of a machine he bought the wrong product. There are mods documented and more still …
