how would this stuff work on an iBook? i have the new indigo iBook and think that painting or whatever the white part on the top black would be really cool. has anybody tried thi…

ok, the nautilus leather powerbook pics are up. http://members.maclaunch.com/marshall/leather.htm

hey y'all, i want to replace all the green LEDs (Power, zip, DVD) in my new G4 with red ones, this would look really cool with the graphite case. I'd also like to do it on my monit…

I have a PB1400cs with a broken passive screen. I was wondering if it was possible to install an active screen from a PB1400c. Anyone cares to share their experience doing this? Ar…

Anyone stupid enough???? http://www.octools.com/articles/subm...ubmersion.html

That is insane. Wow. I dont get it though.. he shells out a grand for some chemicals, but wont spend 50 bucks on a transmission cooler (complete with cooling fins like a radiato…

The bad part is, it does not work! Apparantely the Fluironite cannot withstand super low temperatures that the liquid nitrogen was bringing it down to... what a waste of 1000$+

mad people, but from NZ, so what do you expect They also didn't take into account that most components have a *minimum* operating temperature too. So cooling that lump of celery …

This thing did work, and would have kept working if they just used the test setup: full of ice cubes and about half full of icewater. The liquid nitrogen was very cool visually &am…

"I have wondered sometimes if you could overclock safely by just sticking the CPU case inside a freezer compartment" That's a good Idea! (not that i'm going to try it on my G4 tho…

Thats a BAD idea. Condensation. thats why. Anyway, you guys all have valid points, but personally I'd go for the alcohol. Why? Well, even if it doesnt work, you can still drin…

hmmm... They got a 366 up to 650 before the cooling quit. A ratio of 1.77 to 1. If that ratio held up for a PowerPC chip, you could get a 500 up to at least 887 MHz. Also...conde…

I remember that someone had stuck computer internals in a fridge... they managed to OC a 33mhz 486 (?) to ~250mhz.. died like 10 minutes later, but was cool.

I remember I did an experiment kind of like that: http://forums.macnn.com/cgi-bin/Foru...ML/000103.html The Godfather

Because I bought a FireWire PowerBook, my older notebook, one of them PowerBook G3/333 computers. It's a really, really nice notebook, but now that it's unused, I can start screwin…

Oh yeah, and I have the materials from a long-abandoned revision-B iMac, too, if they are needed!

Hm, get something going with the rev B's mez slot! Has the PBook got a copper G3?

Ye gods. When i read "PowerBook 101" in the topic, i thought you meant a PowerBook 100 Series. Dont ever scare me like that again

Somebody told me that when get up over the 400Mhz mark that you can do software DVD decoding. Question? So if I have a REV D or B iMac logicboard and then add the NewerTech iMAXp…

Use the RevB: it has a hole in the metal plate thing through which you can put the IDE cable, so just have your DVD-ROM externally. That's the easiest way. Or use the RevD (which i…

Wait.... how come you cant throw a powerbook DVD drive into the iMac drive? Wouldnt that work? And if I overclocked my rev A/D hybrid to 400 mhz, would it be able to play them? …

I don't think a VST DVD-ROM would fit. Find the manufacturer of the iMac CD-ROM drives and check if they have a similar DVD model. There's one for the iBook.

ok, here's what ive figured out so far about software dvd decoding. the term "software dvd" is meaning that the computers don't have dedicated dvd decoder chips. however, that does…

There is also the question of the bus speed: A-D are 66mhz, 2nd Gen are 100mhz...

The 466MHz G3 upgrade for iMacs brings in a $150 rebate if you mail in your old system board. What are the conditions for this rebate? Anyone has a contract close? Is someone eligi…
