It flashes, thats why it needs a small transformer... it WILL NOT WORK! Ca$h

I have an old LC 475, but i want to upgrade it to make it so it actually is more usable, i know most of you would say it is a waste of time, but i still want to fix it up, so what …

Someone OC'd an LC 475 to over 125MHz... using a water cooling system.

Holy $hit! Now exactly how much would this water cooling system cost? ------------------ People aren't as dumb as you think. Wait, what was I thinking, 90% of the world uses W…

Just bringing up this old topic again. Does anyone know if the motherboard in the LC 475 can be replaced with a better one? ------------------ People aren't as dumb as you think.…

an lc 475 is the top of the line for that case design. i think it's the same as a quadra 605. even if it wasn't, the performance couldn't be that different. dabradda

The biggest improvement that can be done to these machines is add a 601 daughter card in the PDS slot. Apple and Daystar had these back in the day, but they have since disappeared…

I want to create a souped up beige G3 minitower. Anyone know where I can pick up a resonably priced one (any model as long as it's a Beige G3 minitower). Things I don't need: Hard …

Good luck finding one without RAM and without a hard drive. Essential system components usually come with those things.

you definitely do not want a rev1 beige G3 MT... get a rev2 or 3

Just buy a new system! Ok, say you buy a Beige 266/64Mb/6Gb for around $900+ just for a very rough estimate. You then probably want to upgrade the processor ( a few hundred dollar…

Very well said, MacNZ. There is a reason why Apple decided to update all their computers....How long has the "new" industrial design been around for now, 2 years? you can get (i ca…

You saw it on DealNN, or at least that's where i saw the same thing. Trevor

I've been lookin to upgrade my beige g3's processor some day, so, any suggestions out there? I've found this PowerLogix PowerForce G3 500mhz for 440$, considering buying it. Anyone…

you should look into the options at OWC for G3 ZIFs

Ok, the normal G3/4 debate. If you think the G4's Altivec enhancements will help you then go for that but otherwise go for a G3. The best value G3 upgrades out at the momeny seem …

does anyone have instructions on placing a light behind the apple on the front cover?

I believe this was a G3, not a G4, but it may help you in your quest to light up your apple. Good luck, and if it works, we wanna see pics of it http://forums.macnn.com/cgi-bin/For…

Thats right. Last night I got an 8100/100&7200/120...for free. They are both pretty stripped (no HDs, CD-ROMS, Floppies, RAM). But, now comes the fun part. First I have a q…

Sorry to say, but the 7200 is a sad piece of work. (don't mean to offend any 7200 owners out there). I have two semi-stripped 7200's (no memory, but +cdrom and +HD), that I bought…

What a bummer! After wrote that post, I found out the dirt on the 7200. I think Ill go to a used computer store neer by and see if I can work a trade. At least the price was rig…

If either of you are considering selling the 7200s let me know (and put up the specs). I'd like to put together a cheap@$$ print/email/web/file server or possibly a server for Term…

the 7200's are solid machines from a stability and case design standpoint, although it is annoying that they can't be upgraded. LinuxPPC is compatable with all of the 7200 serie…

I know that upgrading the iMac is hard or darn near impossible, but almost every aspect of it has been able...such as the VD2...Processor, etc.... Since I have the 40GB Maxtor 720…

The ATA/33 controller is on the motherboard... unless you're an engineer and soldering genius you won't be able to do much with it.
