I'm realy interested in these mezz-PCI converters. I would like to try to make one myself. Does anybody know where to get the mezanine connector in Europe? Please lets work togeth…

Cash, Are you NOT going to send pictures?

Um, I've been asking round some computer stores about PCI to Mezz connectors but they just stare at me blankly. I need to go to some specialised place obviously, any help??

You gotta either: A. Get the parts and make it yourself B. Get the parts and have it made at a shop

And all I want to know is if anyone has ever succeeded in soldering a mezzanine socket to a rev D motherboard. Anyone?

Ca$h, though I often disagree with you, I now realize the potential in my iMac as a mobile gaming machine. I am going to create a mezzanine to PCI adapter, and affix a Voodoo5 5500…

Um. I must disgress first. Here's why. You will NEVER get very good FPS in comparison to a G4 tower. Or a G3 tower for that matter. They have faster busses for one thing, bu…

Cash, how about a monitor cable between that externally mounted card and the cable that comes straight from the built-in monitor in the iMac case? You would need to chip some of th…

No. That wouldnt work. That built in monitor port is part of the mobo, and it uses ATI Rage graphics. That will only MIRROR stuff... basically you can hook it up to another moni…

Thanks Ca$h, for putting my words in the right order! What I meant to say, like Ca$h just did, was to COMPLETELY forego the built-in video output, and reroute the whole thing throu…

Sorry about that, forget the cinema display, all that excitement made me forget about that DVI connection and stuff... Flipper

I'm sorry, I can't afford the cube! Looks like I might switch to console games full time unless some of this stuff works out soon. All of this new mac stuff is soo cool but too har…

Become an Apple Student developer for $99 and pick up your new Cube for $1400, 15" Cinema for $799. Oh and of course you get all those nifty ADC mailings and OSX developer releases…

yeah. You can. That isnt the problem. The mezz is the tricky part. That part has been done before. Ca$h

Oh, ok... Doug

I got it repaired, and it's all good. The dudes who worked on it were really cool, they're a tiny LOOKING company that raked in over 3 mil last year. Wow. Even hold a few US pat…

Glad to hear it Ca$h, now if only we could see some pictures... ------------------ -Ruddigger ------------------ Have you had your gigaflop today?

You're the king of mods, and you're *paying* someone to overclock your FrankenMac? dude. you suck.

I dont have soldering irons tiny enough to tinker with surface mount resistors. Think I'm nuts?!?!?! Actually. Don't answer that. Ca$h
