It means a lotta nasty hacking, involving glue and duct tape. Yes you could use your current heatsink but its not 100% guaranteeed to work.

Hehehehehe welcome to the club of free iMac G5's! When I got mine it had no leaky caps just some ram problems and it was like a gift! It replaced my iMac G3 350!

Free Macs are always worth every penny no matter what condition!

Scored a working iMac G5 from my employer, but need to recap the power supply and motherboard before I dare to use it much. Got several others which aren't powering up at all, but …

Well on ebay I sold my G5 for 750.00+35.00 shipping.

Can't see why not. It's just a video output card, so it should mount with the appropriate drivers. Cardbus is Cardbus.

Does anyone know for sure whether or not a Road Rocket pcmcia video card will work in a cardbus-enabled 2400c or 3400c? The publicity from the period states only that the card is …

Some info on the Wings card connectors, along with an interesting hack, here. The PCI looking thing is probably the modem slot. It's similar to a Comm slot AFAIK. And yes, the S…

I cracked the thing open and took a look at what was inside. 20 gig hard drive (ide) All three PCI slots are filled, an Ethernet card, a USB card and a FireWire Card. the Sonnet…

Easy way to check for a Sonnet upgrade - if the heatsink is purple, you're golden

Great score on a good machine. I myself am partial to the BeigeG3 Mini-Towers myself. Mine is pretty maxxed out at the moment, although it is sitting in the closet because it got r…

Went round to a mate's place today who I haven't seen for a couple of years, and he gave me a beige G3. I haven't had a good look at it yet, haven't even dusted it off, but… It h…

Office 2008? I thought that needed a G4. Personally, I'd go with 2004 and the add-on to read/write 2008's XML formats. John Click to expand... Nah, Office '08 works on a G3, j…
