problem with most cheap ebay batteries is that they are half the cells, and 1 chunk of led, with false markings on the outside

It was something like this: 1. obsolete - who cares 2. pro apps - only recently, and the older version doesn't become invalid and worthless upon release of newer version 3. yell…

That's fine, I didn't have time to read it anyway

I got brand new chinese iBook G3 batteries for $36 each in bulk. Just buy a new one off eBay. Pick the absolute cheapest seller who is in the USA and buy that one. No one seller h…

I typed up a big long post, and the forum software ate it, and I don't feel like typing it again.

You know, there is a *big* difference between 'being obsolete' and 'being usable'. The G5 is very obsolete in computing terms, but its still usable

Welcome to the eMac Club! I own a 700 mhz one and they rock. slightly loud and heavy but nice nonetheless. I am not sure if this model is one of those that has the leaky caps but w…

that is one of the most unfair comparisons ever... "snappier..." let's see.. you have a VERY modern, fast, high cache 1TB 3.5" drive in the G5... 16GB ram... and you're compari…

Nope! http://lowendmac.com/orchard/06/0912.html Pretty neat!

Today I drove about 75 kilometers to pick up a eMac listed on Kijiji for $160CAD. Its pretty sweet. Although it only had OS X 10.2 installed with 128MB ram, I put in a 256MB stick …

There was no Batt in it, also when it stopped working it was on then it went off, I am working on rigging an atx power Brick on it

The Powermac G5 is no where near obsolete... I use my PMG5 more than I use my new Mac mini... it is snappier than the mini... Don't get me wrong the mini is great but I prefer t…

One more note: your Centris 650 will not always cause a small spark when you plug it in even if it's working. This depends on several things like humidity, how long it's been unp…

The Centris 650 **DOES** have a battery on the motherboard. You just need to look more closely. Some older Macs will turn on if this battery is dead, some will NOT. So it's a go…

The tower model G5s didn't have the same issues with the exploding capacitors, did it? If new RAM doesn't fix it, you might want to take a look at the caps, particularly those in t…

Anybody here seen one of these in person, or actually own(ed) one? Just curious.

There are amateurs who do try to re-cell LiIon batteries, but the success rate is poor, and what they risk is real and serious injury. As well as potential explosion, with effects …

I waited to long and missed out on them. However I did acquire a iMac 400mhz DVD. Now I have two identical machines.

I have a iBook G3 Snow and I would like to know if I could recell it easily and within $40? If not I might as well just buy a new in package battery off eBay for $40. agg23 Cli…

In short, there are reasons the PowerMac G5 has a reputation of being something of a lemon. It is. Click to expand... Only the water cooled G5s had huge problems. The other G5s…

Personally I think the whole idea of a 3D world as a productivity environment is silly anyway. It's the sort of thing that looks totally awesome in fiction but in reality, well... …
