hi
i wondered whether i'm able to install another EIDE drive into my G4? currently there's the standard DVD ROM drive in front, and below some space for a zip drive, according to …
if you'd look back a bit you'd find a thread here and in the g3/g4 forum relating to this.
basicaly, you can either swap the dvd drive for whatever other kinda 5 1/2 drive you wan…
It has gotten worse since those mods were last discussed. If you want to put a 5.25 device where the Zip goes, you reportedly have to clip the heat sink a bit, as the G4 heat sink …
I want to install a iMac DV original slot in DVD in a B/W G3.
Above the upper slot would be cool, but that means destroying the apple logo...
Anyway, the problem is the 50-pin cabl…
If someone can locate a slot-loading CDRW, I will gladly hacksaw my G4 case to mount it. I think the plan would be to remove the cage bay for the Zip drive, cut the case opening t…
The mod won't work because the heatsink is going to get in the way! I just checked it with my system and the 3.5" bay just clears the heatsink. That is why apple cut down the fins …
Is it possible to modify the case of the old i-mac to allow for ventilation, thereby enabling one to get rid of that noisy fan (as with the new i-macs, if I'm not mistaken)??
Sure, take a drill and put holes all over the top and sides of the case.....
Seriously though, I don't think so. Does anybody know if the guts of the new iMacs are arranged differ…
I am not sure exactly how but i know that the new "guts" of the iMacs are arranged quite differently to allow more efficient cooling without a fan than the originals. As for punchi…
Hey Markhers! BLOODY MURDER! BLOODY MURDER!
LOOK AT THESE "HOOOORRRRIIIBBBLLLLEEEEEE" people! They're POSTING MESSAGES WITH CRIMINAL INTENT! They WANT to RUIN and CORRUPT thes…
Apple went with new "short neck" CRT displays in the fanless models. I believe they use less energy, allowed the iMac logic board to be pushed further back in the case, and, coupl…
Just wondering: is there any way to make the Mac continue to play through the speakers even with something in the audio out-plug? Software or hardware, anything goes.
(What I real…
I don't really have any helpful advice, but I am also interested in a solution to this problem. I would like to put some satellite speakers in my bedroom but still be able to liste…
Just a little FYI to all those contemplating modifying their Rev C/D iMac by adding the missing mezzanine connectors of the Rev A/B iMacs.
I just received my mezzanine connector …
Good info, thanks Racer!
I don't get that of the female-female issue. I thought that the iMac MoBo had a female and the GW a male. In the Digikey catalog, they are referred to as …
Digikey's mezzanine could have more to do with PMC standards than anything, where there is like 2 or 4 of those connectors together when they are used.
The term mezzanine may be a…
CRAP! Oh well, dont be too worried. I'll find another source...
yeah, I need some $ before I can order parts... I just got ANOTHER speeding ticket.. Do any of you guys think g…
