If you mean the watercooled G5s they would leak not just spew everywhere at once (in the cases I am familiar with anyways), but I don't think the dual g5s are water cooled. The g5 …

While some units could do 83Mhz the default was 66Mhz FSB bus for the CPU on beige G3 machines, which is what you have. You will need software to get the CPU running to 1Ghz, go ch…

I'm not all that familiar with the IIvx/IIvi/P600, but if the power supply is similar to the IIcx/IIci/Quadra 700 (all three of which I am very familiar with) I will advise to have…

I decided to gamble and boot it. Apple SYstem profiler says that its is a processor of unknown type, and it is running at 67 MHZ. Is there something wrong with it?

The photo is of an ethernet switch, not a router. You need a router with a built in switch, such as a Linksys BEFSR41, or similar beast.

I recently came across some more of (and bought one) the 1 GHZ G4 Sonnet Encores on eBay, and I noticed that it doesn't use the stock heat sink, and it doesn't seem to have a provi…

I have no idea what the previous owner did to the machine. One screw on the heatsink was missing and it looked like there was no thermal paste at all. Click to expand... I bet …

okay i'll check on that, thispic isn't exactly what I'm using but its basically the same: http://openpinoy.com/goods/images/20081018013108cont.jpg

aye, check on that, really if its a router it should be a plug and go situation

"Super Hub"? This is probably a stupid question, but are you sure it's a router? I can see a router being called a "Super Switch" or something along those lines, but calling a rou…

Didn't the cooling systems also have a tendency to go "Splooge!" at any given moment?

Leaky caps sometimes...

so I finally got around to setting up my G3 server and the network that I want to run in my room. i did a clean install on the G3 and installed a copy of AppleShare IP that I recei…

Nice Mac history. I look forward to your IIfx story in Mac II, Quadra & Centris later. Glad to meet you.

My opinion is newer machines will be recycled faster then the older ones are, and quite a few will have hardware problems when they do get recycled. 99% of all the old hardware I g…

I suppose in 10 years, we'll be bemoaning all the caps blowing on Power Macs.

Ah, the PAS 16 NuBus card. Always wanted one of those. They always were spoken of in reverent tones.

Like anything else it depends on your location. I have seen PCI G4-400's for sale for $30 but people want more for the AGP models (no idea what they sell for). I want a 733 or bett…

One favor... It turns out I have the Rev 3 Uni-N in my Sawtooth, so no dual processors. If somebody comes across a spare/cheap Sawtooth motherboard with a Rev 7, let me know please…

OK. That's what I figured. I am a member of some pro audio groups that are similar. I really didn't realize a group for 68k Macs existed here although I had seen the name before co…

Hey thanks everybody. Just to help introduce myself further, here is an article I wrote for MY Turn on Lowendmac back in 2002 that details my main IIci that I still have and am cur…

i work as the mac repair person at the local recyclers. they have tons of pci g4, agp g4s, and imac g3s.

I got this sawtooth for free. One of my oldest clients have been using macs for years. He has quite a few in storage and I asked him for one and he said I could help myself. So I d…

Greetings fellow MacHead. May your visits here bring you the answers and camaraderie you seek.
