The fans in my original (1Ghz) 17" PB have been acting strangely. I have been using it in hot locations recently, but now in the AC with very low processor usage and average bottom…

43690 hours = 2621440 minutes. That makes me guess that somewhere in the PRAM is 18 bits for the total uptime count, which gets incremented every 10 minutes.

If you've managed to scrape the paint off, I'd love to see an "after" picture!

Can you make a list of the cards and if you are keepig them all? if there is a capture board (now missing its breakout box) it is kind of useless to you, but I might need it. Cl…

it's a *MacALLY* keyboard. one of my ADB mice is a MacALLY one.

My room doesn't smell like old pizza! But I think one of my cats coughed up a big, nasty hairball in my closet, and another peed on some stuff in my closet... And I don't hav…

Yes i have just come to that conclusion lol. I have a DA mac siting here with a bad mobo, and missing all the plastic parts, but i have enough laying around i can make a decent mac…

For the hassle involved , I'd just get the right board that matches the dual 533 chip. A working logicboard would probably be only $20 on ebay. Stewie

And here she is: She's a little yellowed, though not as badly as these photos seem to make out. It's a little dirty in places, but overall it looks to be in very good shape. No…

Well, first my grandma has to make sure it isn't needed, then... "You'll have to get *at least* 2 bags of trash out of your room before I let you get *another* computer" : I o…

No boot. I powered it on. Its getting power, because when I remove the cord it does like a zip sound. HD and CD Drive both work. I plugged in an external Molex thing and they both…

The Mac mini's case has very little ventilation to start with, and with all the components close together, it certainly doesn't aid airflow. If you did that, you might find cooling…

Seems like the PRAM Hours of Use parameter won't record anything above 43690 Hours. After that, it returns back to 0. Is there a limit to how much hours the PRAM can record? 436…

I did a cap replacement on a 1.8ghz G5 iMac, but it only lasted another 6 months and the smoke got out. I think the PSU might have been bad, causing the caps to go in the first pla…
