I tore down the eMac for the vital parts last night, hard disk, RAM and optical drive. Of course I made sure the eMac was still f…

Fan control on a Lombard — #4
The Lombard is up and running again and seems to be cooler even with the original 400mhz processor. The only issue I have with it is that FireFox 3 will not run-Opera was installe…
iMac G3 opinion — #13
I was happy with Panther on a CRT iMac for quite a time after the appearance of Tiger, but the change to Tiger was prompted by its greater Web security. Tiger's 'stealth mode' and…

I'd stick with Panther on a G3 for optimal performance. Tiger is more compatible but more memory and processor intensive. I'd only use it if you had a program that required it.
So, Beige G3's. — #37
haha thanks! It is a minitower. Also I should note that I have a firewire USB tango card in it as well as an Acard 6280M ATA 133 controller in it. Reason for such upgrades is my…

My beige config is in the signature. Are there any ways to get the freaking dvd player to work on this thing?!?!?!?! I did a mod/hack where you delete the install check file in t…

On the other hand, what is it with beige motherboards dying? I replaced the one in mine twice over the years. Both times the symptoms were a non-booting OS X install, OS 9 bootin…

If you really just want to own a G3 iMac, and particularly if it's one of the more collectable color variations, like "Flower Power" or "Blue Dalmation", sure, go ahead. Try not to…

My recent switch from three 500MHz/1GB iMacs running Jaguar, Panther and Tiger to a single G4 DA (quickly upgraded from 466 to 533 to 733MHz) was to be able to drive a 20-in ADC di…

I distinctly recall MacAddict doing an article on various machine upgrades.
They upgraded on and painted it to look like a marshall amp.

Fan control on a Lombard — #3
You can test the Lombard internal fan by itself. Disconnect it and make a drawing of the three wire colors and where they go into the plug housing. Then if necessary remove the c…
Fan control on a Lombard — #2
Perhaps you can find a 5V point somewhere and connect the internal fan directly to that. Maybe on the USB port. It won't be temperature controlled, but at least it'll run.
It wo…
Fan control on a Lombard — #1
I finally have my Lombard up and running (mostly). However it will overheat if left alone since the cooling fan never comes on. Currently I'm using one of those PC slot fans to d…

AvalancheSJ, it's still worth shopping around for a cheap G4 as you should be able to find one in your price bracket if you hunt. The FSB does make a fair bit of difference and th…

That iMac is a good performer, and yet I would try for a lower price on it if possible. If you're not taken by the idea of a tower and you just want a convenient little workstation…
iMac G3 opinion — #4
well i was looking on eBay and craigslist and both are kinda pricey for a g4 iMac, Mac Mini, and PowerMac, about $90 (£45ish) + shipping about $25 and up. and (with my PC knowledge…
iMac G3 opinion — #3
It's not really worth it, for around the same amount you should be able to get a low end G4 on ebay: £35 G4. Much more expandable and all you need is a cheapo monitor to go with i…

For most "normal" modern computing tasks, (web browsing, music, email etc), the 500MHz era G3 iMacs are more than up to the job and will motor along nicely with Tiger and a decent …
iMac G3 opinion — #1
I'm looking into buying an iMac G3 (Slot loaded CD/DvD) w/ 500MHz, 256MB (up to 1GB on this model i believe) and Mac OS X 10.4 (tiger i believe) installed. At my work we use Mac Mi…
