1. Oil the fan (search the forum for a few instructions on the best way to go about this) 2. Take some compressed air ($1 from virtually anywhere) and clean out the fan and all …

Well whatever you do, DO NOT use WD-40 !, unless you want the inside of your computer to smell like an auto parts store....... If it is the case fan and NOT the power supply fan, …

I would like to know if it is possible to install an internal CDRW inside a G4 or an iMac. Is it less expensive than buying a USB drive? Thanks

I did exactly this on my G4. I removed the DVD drive and inserted a Ricoh MP-7040A CDRW into the bay, put it all together and closed it all up. Well...I booted the thing up and i…

I was thinking of replacing the CD-ROM drive in my B&W G3 with an internal IDE CD-RW. If I do so, will I still be able to boot up from the CD-RW drive like I am able to with th…

does this mean that you cannot have two drives in the G4s (meaning an internal DVD and an internal cdrw)? that would be kind of stupid wouldn't it? thanks

When installing a IDE CD-RW in a G4, will I need a special piece of software (driver) for Mac?

milocat - The reason you cannot have two drives is that there is no room on the front panel for another tray-loading drive. You could pull out the Zip disk (if you have one), bu…

The internals of the G3/G4 case only allow the mounting of a 3 1/2 inch device into the second bay, which is kinda annoying..... If you connect a CD-RW in place of your Cd-ROM or …

I know some of these things have already been said, but here's a summary: 1. It is definitely not possible to put a CDRW drive in an iMac, as I have not seen any internal drives w…

You most certainly can put an internal CDRW in the B&W G3 or G4. EZ Quest sells an internal ATAPI CDRW for the G3 or G4 called the BOA, I've done this to my B&W and it work…

You CAN put a cdrw into an iMac. It isn't a standard drive though. I don't remember the name of the company but the specs were 4/2/20 and it replaced the cd drive that comes in th…

Here's the link to get the PowerCDR internal cdr for an iMac. ( I was wrong about the rewritable part sorry) http://www.techworks.com/products/powercdr.html $299 [This message…

afe: reread carefully what I wrote. I said "It is impossible to have 2 CD-ROM/DVD/CDRW drives in a Blue G3/G4, as these devices require a half-height 5.25 inch drive bay, of which …

Tooki, I wrote this in reference to rlubbat's question about the internal CDRW in his G3. I should've stated such. AFE

There was a guy over on dealmac.com that put an internal CDRW drive in his G4; seems to me he kept the DVD drive too. He just took out the zip. His major problem was TEMPERATURE,…

I have a G4 and would like to buy the 21" flat panel monitor Apple makes. But I can find anywhere to buy it. Does any one know where I can buy it?

hi, only on the apple store, and only with a g4/agp. they're not selling it anywhere else, and supplies are limited. hope that helps, ster p.s. it's 22", btw. -s

You're not gonna be able to get it. Apple only sells it in a bundle with the top o the line G4... and since you already have a G4 it looks like you r SOL (for now). Sorry Guru

I was thinking of buying myself a shiny new graphte G4 and was wondering if the product is worth it and if so which configuration is best? Thanks.

Which configuration is best? The fastest; Sawtooth. But you can always build your own at the Apple Store. If done right you can get a great machine for a good price. Try playing …

J-DOG; thats a pretty subjective question, but it really depends on what you want the system for....If you are into graphic design, desktop publishing, illustrating and/or serious …

Now that all configs run on the same boards, the answer to your question depends on your needs. Personally, I thin kyou should get the fastest machine you can afford.

I was setting up my uncle's new stock G4/450 this weekend and noticed some differences between his and my BTO 400, both shipped after the re-configure with Rage 128 Pros. His DVD-R…

I have a B/W g3 and i was wondering what exactly I would have to do to overclock it, how much I could do it and stay safe, and what other people have done, as far as the maximum am…
