I have an 80MHz version. It was crashing at random intervals, but I applied some new thermal paste to its 601 and now runs like a champ. I also put a PDS AV card in it, which reall…

I just scored the first Mac I ever used! My best friends Quadra 605, that he received for Christmas 1993. Neither he or I have seen or used the computer in over 12 years. Long stor…

Thanks! Definitely a lot of good memories associated with this computer. It was a year before I was able to get a computer of my own, so I was at my friends just about every day! …

The fabled Power Macintosh Plus DOES EXIST! Click to expand... Click to expand... The entry level model was the last of the 68K "Macintosh Más" produced from 1991 to 1996. B…

I don't have a 5300cs but I believe the 190cs has the same screen and I have found the refresh rate is poor for games. The screen is poor for darks and the screen has poor refresh…

Not at all. Way to distracting. I tried playing Spin Doctor on it but I couldn't concentrate due to all the movement.

I take it that it would not be nice to play games on, correct?

Congratulations! It really is a fun feeling to recover a computer that has memories associated with it. Plus, The Quadra 605 is a nice machine. Good luck restoring it to working …

I found some more nice deals: http://cgi.ebay.com/Apple-Mac-Performa-600-w-MOTU-Performer-music-midi-sequ_W0QQitemZ230441728298QQcmdZViewItemQQptZApple_Desktops?hash=item35a765b92…

I don't like the screen on mine. It looks really "bubbly" (pixels seem to float from the bottom of the screen to the top, like bubbles in a fish tank) and the movement kind of dist…

Not too bad considering it is just missing the easy to find blank bezel.

I paid about £7 for mine on ebay, 9500/150, and in better condition then that.

I just bought another "Think Different" poster on eBay, the Einstein one. I love that series of ads, they were truly great. I'd love to get one of the posters with the running ath…

The Screen itself is 100% compatible. Trust me i've done it.

I don't have a 1400cs and so cannot really answer your question for sure, but I do have a 5300cs. What I can say is that once the screen resolution and colour depth are factored ou…

I'm about 95% positive that they are the same. I believe that when I replaced the screen in my iBook G4 a couple years ago, the replacement came from a G3.

hell even early G3s have trouble decoding DVDs. Click to expand... Add a Wired4DVD card and even a PPC601 or PPC604 can play DVDs well. It's a PCI card though Click to exp…

In some senses, it could be said that the '90s were Microsoft's decade, and the '00s were Apple's. In the '90s, Apple struggled to even tread water in market share and profitabili…

welcome back funky toad.

I think for a while Apple had a plant in India where they churned out LCIIs, near the plant that churned out 1950's Morris Minors long after they were discontinued. Ask any PC sysa…

I think they are rare, no idea of the numbers produced. It is one of a handfull of systems I don't have in my collection yet.
