G4FanControl was free, but last time I checked the developer wants money for it. Other than that I haven't found any fan control utilities for the PowerPC G4 mac portables. I wish…

Are there any free fan control utilities for the aluminum powerbooks? I've found one for the MBP, but nothing for the G4's except for two that you have to pay for before you can do…

the Apple Pro Speakers later bundled with the iMac G4 and some PowerMac G4 were semi-spherical and didn't have the three holes (the speakers' membranes are exposed). The ones I ju…

Bah. Tell it the right words, and it will show you things you've never before seen. 8-o

never noticed it before, what does that do

All about Cube speakers. See up in the top right corner of this page where it says "Search..."?

Ok, thanks all for your answers, and beachycove for the picture. I googled a little bit more, and found (please correct me if I'm wrong) that the speakers originally bundled with t…

There's some misunderstanding in these posts. You would be looking for more than the little rectangular device. The Cube's speakers are hard wired into it, with a wire to each spe…

I think those are a bit hard to find so just search for usb audio card that works with ppc osx

Hi all, Ok, I consider myself as a near hardcore macuser (and vintage Macs collector) for a long time, yet yesterday I felt just like a dumb newbie. Not that those two words are s…

The New Jasper mobos do not fail as much I believe, and because they are awesome.

Why do people buy Xboxes if their failure rate is worse then the iBook G3 600MHz 16MB-900MHz and iMac G5's put together?

Trust me. There is no such thing as a computer recycler in this city. Sometimes the city holds a dump usually once a year for old computers. Nobody is allowed to go through the stu…

Never say never, funny things happen when you look around (try a recycler).

G4's are still dropping in price, in another year they will be freecycle finds so don't drop money on one now unless it is a great deal. Click to expand... These deals never co…

Oh...You should put ads on preter human. Click to expand... Tried that once, few days worth of annoying ads brought in maybe a dollar. I always wanted that site run only on don…

Wouldn't this be your chance? Click to expand... No room. Plus I'm out of work for a while so I can't be dropping too much cash.

I happened to browse the local classifieds but rarely do since nothing cheap is ever there, and came across someone selling G4/450 towers for $20 a pop. No ram or HD, but I've got …

Wouldn't this be your chance?

Around 9 years ago when I started the site, I was also going to run a cluster of older machines with Linux. I still wouldn't mind building some sort of cluster just to see how much…
