You're welcome! I think he already had the 7200 drive on hand (from an older machine). So the $50 was for the Firewire enclosure.

Thanks for the link. From what I understand, that guy spent only $ 50. So I assume he didn't even get a high-performance drive (no specs, that would have been nice). I guess a 720…

I just got my PM dp2.0 yesterday. No chirping that I can detect. I've got the unit on the floor, but fairly close by. The only thing I hear are the disk drives accessing. (I su…

Someone's already done this: http://www.budget-ha.com/apple/mac-mini-firewire/

I have a Mac mini, with a 80G - 4200 RPM internal HD. Well, *yawn*, as we all know, that drive is rather slow. I was wondering if I could use an external HD with 7200 RPM, hooked …

FYI, my friends PC also chirps. Seems to be gfx related - so any time you resize a window etc...

I'm not convinced that it's quite as simple as just a power supply defect. My new PowerMac didn't chirp at all, but then I had to get the mainboard replaced by AppleCare and now i…

my decision has nothing to do with summer winter or any other season it is a matter of me prioritizing my life.

That's sucks. when Summer comes, people just quit doing things. Christian

This theme and others i have been working on have been cancelled

Bill Pullman (President in Independence Day) Jeff Daniels (Keanu’s buddy in Speed)

Robert Patrick and Ray Liotta i thought for years that ray liotta was in terminator 2

My RevB DP2.0 rarely has it. sometimes when playing QT movies in the preview column. But it has been a while now since I heard a chirp come from it. Nothing has been changed.

I believe this is an issue on most if not all PM G5s. From what I read online, it's the power supply that's making the noise, and it's caused whenever you have Nap mode on. Nap mod…

There is also a pulsing sound that comes from my G5 dual 2.3. It is not loud but quiet annoying.

I still use the Dock, but there are plenty of alternatives along with the much-praised DragThing: e.g. Quicksilver (shareware), and Devon's free XMenu, which puts an app launcher i…

I will agree with your review on one point, the screen is lacking in brightness and overall goodness. There are a lot of nice, bright, super crisp LCDs out there and the 12in appe…

Forget the dock. It is worthless to a power user. Personally, I use a shareware app called DragThing which allows me MUCH more control over various 'docks' that I can enable. I …

The only time my finder ever crashed was when I did a "rm -rf /" in the terminal on my iBook a few years ago. My current PowerBook has been running flawlessly since I got it last …

It sounds like an electronic chirping sound that emits from the tower everytime certain actions are performed. It does not make the sound when the computer just sits there idle.

This chirping thing, does it actually come from the tower itself or is it a beeping sound through wav files or something like that on the desktop?

My brand new Dual 2.3 'chirps' when I resize windows, drag windows, etc. I've read about the CHUD tools NAP fix, but I hear it's "not reccomended" by Apple. I guess I'm also in t…
