Rodime were one of the worst makes of drive back in the day. I believe an early edition of The Macintosh Bible mentions Rodime as an unreliable drive. A simple Google search reveal…

The memory alone costs about $250 new on Dealram. He also said "1.4 TB HDD's" which I assume means two of them (and probably 1.5 TB as I've never seen 1.4 TB). Those are over $100 …

My feeling is that every computer will get obsolete. You pay 3K 2.5 yr's later it's worth 1.5K or whatever... if you got it at a good price and you are happy with it, that's all…

None the less, the G5 did get screwed with 10.6 BUT it will not stop working B/C of that... How many people actually buy a new OS when it first comes out, I myself do not go out o…

That is indeed a very respectable first conquest. Well done, soldier!

$1000+ for a dual 2.0GHz model?? You guys must be joking right? I've seen QUAD core models selling under $1000 since BEFORE 10.6 came out. Just this past summer I watched a quad…

Yeah, the SE FDHD upgrade involved replacing the IWM chip with a SWIM chip, as you said, as well as replacement ROMs.

1500.00? WOW!!! I didn't think it would be that much... I posted it up on craigslist for 800.00 then lowered it to 600.00 and I got no-shows. Then I was looking at it and I'm like …

When you install Leopard on a PPC Mac, does it even install any x86 code? And vice-versa? I know the Applications folder will have Universal apps, but what about the actual OS guts…

The best native video card you can get for it is the 7800GT 256MB. I believe this was only ever sold as a BTO option on a new dual core G5 so they're quite hard to find. You can f…

The original 128 and 512 could do very little animation because of the lack of memory. About the only option was MacroMind's VideoWorks, which allowed animating a small software sp…

The original SE (4 SIMMs are angled) doesn't have much clearance for the motherboard, a SE30 with the 8 SIMM slots (that stick straight out) will not fit. The difference between a …

I would like to have a 1.44 MB floppy, but I think I read somewhere that it would require a logic board upgrade, and then I wouldn't be able to use a second built-in floppy. Can an…

Very nice! There's just something about these compact Macs that you can't describe until you use one. You could get addicted to them. I like how the external fits nicely under the …

I spotted that auction! Great job on the conquest!

I have that same Rodime drive on my Plus... it is indeed quite loud.

I bought this on eBay a few weeks ago and it arrived yesterday. It's an SE dual 800k (sticker on back says 1MB RAM, but it actually has 4 or 5), that came with a Rodime 20 Plus ext…

I got my G5 a few weeks back, but I had to wait for the monitor to clear customs... finally, I have it all put together. Now I have a dual 2.0 with 2 gigs and a 22" Cinema Display…

There was one auction where a G5 went for 1200.00... Not bad... But I'll keep it... No reason for me to get rid of a good machine... I was just wondering and just wanted an opi…

I checked eBay. $1500 would be on the high end of what you could sell it for. $1000 would be the minimum. Sell it on eBay with those specs and I think you could clear $1200. Craig…

Well over $1500 $1000 for a setup like that. Snow Leopard depreciated the value somewhat (irrational people who think PPC is worthless now because it can't run Snow Leopard).

it's a Dual core, 2.0GHZ, 16GB ram, 1.4TB HDD's, Nvidia 6600LE Vid card, Pioneer DVD DL? Where can I find a GOOD pcie Video card (in case I do not sell my G5) better than the Nvid…

Good looking iBooks you got there. Wait, what's that? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .…
