Unfortunately the only reason I opened the case was to install a fan... and in the process of hooking up that fan I blew the fan and the fuses in quite a spectacular way. Click …

It was a good idea, but it can't be in sizes larger than 22" iirc, but I absolutely love my 17" adc.

Well I made some adjustments, including as suggested to the voltage, and here are the results. 1. When powering up the Mac from a Cold Start (such as turning it on after being …

Leopard should run just fine on that card. While the Ti3200 is indeed far faster and a more capable GPU than the Rage128 card it came with, I am concerned that it may not support c…

I'm not sure if they still have older Macs, but I remember a shop in Columbus called Macmobile. I had walked by the store in 2001 and there were a ton of old Macs in the window, in…

The Quadra 700 isn't a bad choice if you add an accelerator card. It's the same size as the IIcx/IIci and has the benefit of being able to be used as a minitower or as a desktop (d…

Bad geometry can either be caused by the power supply or by the little magnets on the neck of the CRT. Since those magnets are a pain to work with, I'd suggest a power supply repai…

Well I am going to pick up this 22" CRT as soon as I find the time. It will be a perfect compliment to the Power Mac G3 :beige:

the Qs is now running with a geforce 3 ti 200 massive improvement i see leopard in its future ..kinda maybe

I don't mean standard in the PC industry, I mean standard on Macs. If Apple had stayed with it, they could have added ADC to all of their computers. Click to expand... Ah yes, …

I don't mean standard in the PC industry, I mean standard on Macs. If Apple had stayed with it, they could have added ADC to all of their computers.

Not really, everybody else was content with VGA/DVI (infact Apple used VGA and DVI on the Sawtooth's cards)and Apple used then unassigned pins in the AGP slot. If Apple had pushed …

I think it would be best to just buy an airport card for your iMac. I have a relative who installed an airport card after her Ethernet was destroyed from lightning, and it worked j…

You're right, ADC wasn't the stupidest choice they ever made. Abandoning it was. If Apple had stayed with ADC and developed a more powerful connector to power their larger CRTs and…

Oh, well this is rather unfortunate. ADC was the stupidest thing apple ever created. I do have a PC 15" monitor that I can use, but the quality on apple displays is far superior. T…

There is/was a guy on ebay out of the Dayton area with old macs, have you tried ebay?

Were can you get old Macs in Ohio? Preferably the Dayton area? I can't find anyplace that sells them, or people who want to get rid of them. :'( Thanks, agg23

Everything you describe sounds like voltage problems. Your Mac is out of whack. Get yourself a multimeter and go to work, starting with Dr. Lee's excellent notes. Then get yourself…

2. The raster seems to be a little out of whack. I'm assuming the CRT itself needs adjustment, Click to expand... It could even be the power supply.

I like the idea of having one of those adapters, but the G3 cost $50 and the display wouldn't be much more. It just doesn't seem right to pay more for an adapter than you do for th…

well right now id rather have a better video card thena better cpu ( though a dual 800 mhz Qs would be nice) tiger is already struggeling with just the screen saver with…

bah any computer with a gui is a toy Click to expand... Guess that's better... heh. I have the same system, a QuickSilver 2001 but with a 32mb GeForce2 MX card installed. I…

bah any computer with a gui is a toy

What kind of SCSI card was available for the G3 Power Mac? I think it was 68 pin, but I don't know whether it is an HD-68 or a VHDCI-68? I want to be sure before I buy an adapter. …
