ALL of them are bad? On mine only the orange Rubycons (Fake ones) are dead. In that lot of iMac's you got do you happen to have a good PS? I would buy one from you.

I count 25 motherboard capacitors to replace, and then I get to work on the power supply!

thats what i feared ha-ha that i didn't want to have to do that but i guess its the only way thanks for the help.

about the only surefire way to tell is to pull it apart and hold the 2 motherboards next to eachother, notice mounting differences and clearance issues

well i only paid 30 bucks for that mobo do you think its worth doing???? the imac g3 dv graphite that i have is is excellent condition i bought it from the original owner with wa…

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.

sorry hahah when you say mod the heat sink ........ what would happen if i just used the heat sink from my 400 and used it on the 600? is that possible? or is it in a different loc…

AHHH. Are you like screaming? Check your caps lock man! I have thought of the same thing with my 350mhz. They are not compatible, but you can mod the heatsink to be on top of …

HI I HAVE A IMAC G3 DV AND THE 400 MHZ PROCESSOR JUST ISNT DOING IT FOR ME SO STUPID ME I WENT ON EBAY WITHOUT ANY RESEARCH AND BOUGHT A 600 MHZ IMAC G3 MOTHERBOARD AND I AM HAVING…

I agree a free mac in any condition is AWESOME!!!!! (all of mine were free )

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.

I love mine, I Don't have any floppies to run it though! I have a beige ][e with the same Monitor ][ with the green phosphor! It's so retro! ]['s FTW

It has confounded me for a while that I somehow have managed to not acquire an Apple IIe for my retro-computing collection, but that problem has now been solved. I turned up a loc…

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…

They're not beige, they're Platinum. Apple hasn't made any beige Macs since the 1980's. Click to expand... This is true, but as stated before both Apple and the general mac usi…

Yeah apple called them beige... After yellowing they do become a sickly beige color. Nice haul! :approve: BTW: I read the title as "Beige G3 Contest"
