They're quiet? Quieter then a Gigabit G4?

I'm hoping to get one for the office - it all just comes together in the B&W: near give-away prices, low power consumption for teh quiet, ADB keyboard and optionally a seri…

Another sawtooth - this one boots it too: http://www.danamania.com/tmp/86.png I think my 8.6 install CD is the one that originally came from my sis, years ago, so the disc I inst…

I just retired my B&W G3 450mhz (overclocked 400mhz) in leau of an eMac, but I have been thinking of putting it back into active use as a server. It runs great still, and s…

A problem are the rev-1 boards (a buggy Harddisk controller) and thefacts that the machine accepts only single sided RAM sticks and can't boot from Firewire,USB or ordinary DVD dr…

I've actually used Vista on a PIII Celeron, 800MHz with 512mb of memory. The easiest way to describe it is that it can happen, but that it's maybe not the most pleasant thing ever.…

can't boot from ordinary DVD drives. Click to expand... Really? I've booted my iMac (tray loader) off a couple of DVD drives...if a lowly iMac 333 that was never intended for u…

Running 3 hard drives in my G3 450mhz Rev. 2 box (dual 120gb ATA drives and the original 9GB SCSI), along with a CD burner and internal Zip drive. I'd have maxed RAM too, if more …

Hey All - I have a 12" PB G4 867 MHz that just stopped working one day. According to my cousin who was borrowing it long-term at the time, on Sunday everything was fine, and then …

I bought a second-hand 5300ce, very well taken care for, in 2003. Never had a problem (touching wood). The battery still lasts 10 minutes. The display is actually good, considering…

Of my four 5300s, only one didn't experience hinge or power connector failure. Two were warranty repaired, one is still broken. (I got it after the warranty extension had expired…

... and they're CHEAP! Wegener Media has barebones B&W 300s for $9.99 + shipping. (No affiliation) Locally they go for free / cheap on craigslist all the time.

This may be the dumbest question ever, but you can't hook a 2.5" laptop drive onto a 3.5" IDE connection, correct? Click to expand... You can - there are adaptors available tha…

All Great info thanks.

Strangely the one used previously worked at one time as well. Click to expand... Entropy always increases.

I would love to own one solely because I want to use my ADB keyboards. That does work in OS X right?

^^or by using an external firewire or USB2 + pci card I have to say I love the B&W, I got one on ebay only a couple of years back simply cos I remember when they were rele…

Yes. ATA controllers made before LBA48 was introduced (around 2002) cannot address more than 128 GB of disk space. You can work around this by using a card.

These Macs accept 1GB of RAM and HDDs up to 128GB. Click to expand... Is this really true? Obviously 128GB was huge 10 years ago, but I still don't see any reason for that sort…
