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…

That same case design, except in a desktop form, was used by a bunch of PC clones we used to have in school. Kind of scary.

I remember reading about PowerTools in MacAddict back in the day...from memory they sold their machines in kit form, with no RAM, hard drive, video card or peripherals. Thats the f…

Perhaps as a result of my ineptitude with the search engine, I have seen/found no current/prior reference in these forums to this sale on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl…

When I was taking apart the first iBook, I used one paper cup for each "event". An event would be like: - Remove bottom plastic (and all the screws for this go into a cup) - Rem…

Yeah, I do the exact same thing....but then I bump the paper......and its all downhill after that :-/

Down to the last one as of this posting

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…

Whenever I'm taking out screws, I lay them down on a piece of paper in roughly the arrangement they came out, and write and draw around them to make things clearer where they go ba…

Well I got it to boot once... ...I had a Sonnet Crescendo G3 in there that seemed to be one cause of the problem. I also had to switch between the 2 SCSI connectors on the Logic B…

That Sawtooth is a good solid box. Most of them can be OC'd to 550MHz or more, and with a fast G4 upgrade and a video card upgrade, will do 720p HD video. Check to see which versio…

hard drive: free, 256mb of memory: free, receiving a free computer for setting up a computer for some one: priceless

The very first time I took apart an iBook (also to replace the hard drive) and put it back together, I put one of the long hex screws in the middle, instead of the short one. Cl…

I got it put back together. Only 3 extra screws. That's pretty good for me. :I :I :I :I :I :I :I :I Click to expand... Well done! I had 4 left over after replacing the…

I know, I know, I'm going to hell. But it works. It's also non-permanent, if I have to go in later and fix it for real.

If that's the case, no amount of glue will fix the damage - you'll have to strip the iBook down more to resolder the pads. JB Click to expand... If the pad is lifted off - so …
