I have recently acquired an Apple Macintosh IIx which does not power on. No chimes, No nothing. I have replaced the power supply and both batteries but still nothing. Power on…

You should make an estimation as to how easy and/or cheap it will be for you to fix the machines. Then you can decide if it's a good deal or not. Just having broken machines isn't…

I think any G5, working or not, $100 is a great deal! :O

Hey guys, guess who got the Macintosh! Complete book! I did, bwahahaa!!! } I just read the first 7 or so chapters last evening. It's a rather bizarre book, but rather fascinati…

sorry they took so long wait i can't figure out how to upload pictures can someone tell me?

Yes, I was going to mention the issue with the caps on all of the iMac G5 models, but I see that you've come to that conclusion. Might be a cap either in the PSU or the logic boar…

some one on my local craigslist is selling 2 powermac g5s 2.0 ghz dual processor that "One powers on but has no boot, Other one powers on but randomly turns off." for $100. is this…

They don't have a toll-free number unfortunately. and you're right, there are a lot of things of interest there. I realized they have a support email though, so I will send the…

I'd go for it...as the others have said, its a much better display, you'll notice straight away, and you'll probably end up using the machine more because of it...I love the active…

They have a ton if useful things including replacment mobos for mostly every mac model. After browsing the site a little more I found these hard drives listed: 0 0 0 WD10000033-0…

Okayy... I guess this will be the final update lol Basically everything is working fine, except I've found the source of the burning. One of the black boxes on the underside of the…

R$ doesn't carry a matching replacement part and the one they do have will be an ugly install anyways. So, really, I had no choice. I also intend to put copies of the morning ser…

Well done. I had thought the machine was toast.

They have a phone number, call them.

Now I know that this is an even bigger longshot... but does anybody know if this site is active? http://www.surpluscomputerliq.com/default.htm

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…

In geekbench tests, the original macbook air (1.6GHz C2D) whups the pants off of all G5 systems except the dual2.7 and the dualdual2.5. This test is admittedly only of CPU and ram …

High pitched noises are usually the power supply. The processor needs more power, places more stress on the PSU causing it to be louder.

Hi, does anyone know which component is causing my iMac G5 to whine like a cat? As it does more processor intensive tasks it gets louder, and it sounds like a fan, but I tried run…

Thats a very impressive auction. I just need myself some damn system 400k floppies, not all this hyperdrive mumbo jumbo :rambo: :lol:

Alright, so small update: All I've really changed is I've put the battery in as well as the power cable (I only had the PB plugged into the wall without the battery up until now).…
