If it is an older 9600, it may not be compatible with the 604ev CPU from your 8600. What is the CPU speed marked on the front of the 9600 case? Or if that doesn't exist, the mother…

My recommendation after owning all three would be the 1400c and the 2300c. The 3400c is notorious for failing as already mentioned, and 8.6 on a 1400c with 64MB RAM is perfect. As …

i have done about 4 of them different ways, the last one i did, placed the battery on a 2x4 and used a dead blow and hit the seam all the way around and it broke free , turned out …

i want to recell or at least put a battery inside the original battery case but can't figure out a way to remove the top without causing a lot of damage. Has anyone managed to fig…

Any chance you'd be interested in parting with the 200MP (with or without the matching) name badge? I'd really like to reassemble my old system from college (nostalgia). drop me a…

I've had one of these for a few years as well... some notes I've taken: Motherboard is a custom short run (BARRACUDA) from Intel based on the D915GAGL platform. Board options inc…

there is a cap right next to the scsi chip, and that cap leaks into the scsi chip as well. its a problem with the LC-III there is also a spot where the solder mask was not good fo…

Did you replace the cable?

I'm very attached to my LCIII.  It was the first Mac that I purchased brand new, back when I was at Uni.  I bought it to 'replace' my SE/30 (it didn't replace the SE/30 - I still h…

It'd be nice if we can see pictures of the back and slots.

I remember at one point reading what OS X version officially depreciated these machines; it was quite an old version (The retail version of Leopard?), so while it might be "fun" to…

I think if you really want to push it, you can put 10.6 on it (provided you appropriately patch it), but you'll likely need a modernish GPU to get it working!

Yes, but those are niche crazy hacked up boards for crazy people. Apple very likely just adapted a reference Intel one, but from the look of it, just put their branding and serial …

Likely a 915 chipset then. Just because it only has DDR doesn't rule out Core2 though, ASRock still sells boards with the older 865G(!) that can take Core2Duo chips.

It says DDR RAM, and the timeframe is 2005 (and probably earlier. Much earlier, if the Marklar history is anything to go back) so I'm leaning towards an early 9xx chipset. Sorry ki…

Likely a Socket 775 based machine with PCIe. Wonder if a Pentium D or even a Conroe 65nm Core2 will work in these. The latter depends on the chipset, if its a 915/925/955, its stuc…

Is that CPU socketed ? If it is I wonder if the CPU can be upgraded.

Man that's cool. I was working for Apple when the Intel transition was announced (totally upended my business for a while!), and I *really* wanted one of these - I knew they'd be a…

The ADP2,1 gets me - is there a first revision?

What does the back look like? Is it properly designed for the board or completely hackintosh'd?

It would be interesting to see one of these hackintoshed. I don't know if I've ever seen it, and this is maybe the third or fourth to roll around on the site. In part because they…

I have the DVD to reinstall it

I dont know if I'd mess with it. Definitely swap hard drives to save that current install.
