Looks very good, have you got "before" piccies?Which part do you need to mitre? :?: Click to expand... No before pictures, sorry. The LC 575 bezel is pretty different than t…

I fixed your .txt editing boo boo for you! [] ]'> Click to expand... :?: I'm not sure what you mean. Click to expand... When I quoted you, I noticed a couple of l…

Take it apart, go buy a tub of Oxiclean, and deyellow that poor machine at once! (If you can spend 2 hours dremeling the bezel, you can spend a day deyellowing it.) Click to expa…

The powersupply is in another box. But it is down there too! I am hoping to keep everything looking almost normal on the Sawtooth case. Will get all the parts together over the …

Sounds like you shouldn't fire them up again until one of our resident flyback gurus passes judgment! :-/

Someone gave me 2 of these machines that he had in his attic since about 2001. they came from a local school district and has all the school programs on them. Well, i fired one of…

looks pretty good

I still need to mitre the edge so it'll fit nicely, but so far I think it's turned out great. Took me about 2 hours to dremel the whole thing. { "lightbox_close": "Clo…

Heck yeah, why not? Have a good look at some of the iMac and ATX-cased Mac hacks around the web. Do you have the original eMac power supply? That will save a lot of hassle.

In that case, the only other variable is the fact that the G3/500 is a copper one, though I don't remember if that introduced any performance enhancements, per se. Based on what I…

Yeah, that was my thought at first, but there aren't any caps right near where the apparent leakage is. And the closest one looks just fine. Also, I would have thought that leaky…

I went ahead and downloaded the XLR8 firmware block remover. I assume it also works for non-XLR8 G4's. The G3/500 is a Buffalo (Melco) HG3-G3500 with 1mb cache running at 250mhz…

Most of the "legit" Apple G3 modules have 1MB of L2 cache, which depending on the configuration of the /350 or /400 G4 chip, may actually cause the G3 to blow the G4 away in those …

I'd say it could be the caps, they seem to be reaching EOL on a lot of machines of this era (I have 2 LCII boards and 1 LC475 board, all from 1993 vintage machines that need recapp…

So I'm starting to go through my collection to decide what to keep, and what to dump, er, pawn off, er, offer to the MLA members... The first two are a IIvx (that I have never eve…

I have a G4/400-ed B&W, which was a straight swap over from a 400Mhz G3 module. Since the only thing that changed in the swap was the module I suppose that's as good as exp…

Looking for some advice... I have a B&W G3. It originally a 400mhz system, but a few weeks ago, I upgraded it to a G3/500 with a cheap ZIF from IC-China. It is currently r…

We've got similar mac collecting tastes, I see...I have 6 PB 1400s, 2 5300s, one Pismo 400/40/512k, 2 old PB 150s, a Classic II, the on life support 3400...and several PCs too, ala…

It looks like it will be a bit longer before I clean the board. I thought about going in to work to do it today but it looks like we're in a blizzard now here on the US east coast…

I really enjoyed reading your post about the reasons that you settled on buying a IIci. Back in the day, I felt that the IIci was the pick of the Mac product line. It was way out…

I have a dead 500mhz Sawtooth. It has been sitting for awhile down in the basement. It quit one day , after a few attempts to revive it, it went to the basement. A motherboard f…

I have a 22" 1680x1050 LCD monitor hooked up to my B&W G3 that has been chugging along fine at that resolution for quite a while now. All of a sudden, after a fresh reboot …
