Indiglo (aka EL backlighting) needs high voltage, so to power it u need a small high voltage transformer. This would A) create a high pitch buzzing noise B) ~possibly~ create rad…

Years ago, when I dabbled in electronics, these components were called "glow strips" the consisted of an inverter, and the electroluminescent material (strip). It was battery ope…

Hi, I read a post on PowerBook DVD Source that someone replaced the iMac CD-ROM with a laptop DVD-ROM and it works. I found out that the CD-ROM inside the iMac Rev. A is in ATAP…

Apple DVD Player 2.x requiers ATI Rage 128 to work. Even if you replace CD-ROM with a DVD-ROM, I don't think you can watch DVD Maybe with QT5 that support Mpeg2 decoding this will…

maybe if u run linux ppc, replace cd-rom with dvd-rom, and download DeCss (2600.com has a list of links to download the source) and compile it for mac then maybe u'll be able to

How do I add a second monitor?

Add a second graphics card.

I know quite a bit about overclocking but have never had the guts to try it on a mac I own. But recently I got a new G4/450 rendering my ancient PowerTower Pro 225 old and striking…

Here's an idea for a hack I just thought of. Maybe someone's already done this. It seems to me that you could stick an LED under the Apple logo on the top of the iMac case. It woul…

I know this has been done with the little Apple logo on the front of the G4. It was hooked up so it switched on when the HD was being accessed.

There was a kid that did that with his B&W G3 tower. He posted pics of it in th G3/G4 forum. Red LED, looked kind of sinister! He had insturctions with it as to how he wired it…

No, don't worry. Mine is MUCH MUCh better than that. I just need a little spare $... tuition sucks. GRRRR Ca$h

Shall we take up a collection for Ca$h? I, for one, would like to know what he's majoring in first. ------------------ Travis Hreno Department of Philo…

I think he's majoring in Speech Impedimentology at case western

I was majoring in automotive engineering, but now I want to do computer stuff... so... I dunno, i still have no clue what I want to do. How about work for Apple, and make their …

I hear ya about the Interstate '76 issue... but I think that would be more up to Activision.

I'd like to know what Ca$h actually does on his Franken-iMac, or does he just kneel before it and er...do things?

UT, VGS, Photoshop, games, and web surfing. No porn though. I may be a pirate, but Im not akin to spanking my monkey. ALthoug girls piss me off. ODnt get me started. A Rgh..…

Problems already with the new found love, Cash? hehe...

Hey Ca$h. Are you going to Case Western? I'm starting out there this fall as a freshman doing comp. engineering. We should hang out sometime!

No. I went to UW Platteville last year, and this year I'm going to MATC for a semester and then Pville again. My rents quit paying for half of college because I didnt get all Bs.…

The case western thing was just a quote I stole from "Being John Malkovich". Didn't mean to cause any confusion on cra$h's education

How about painting the inside of the transluscent (sp) plastic behind the monitor with UV reactive paint and put a mini blacklight (one of those 3 mm wide) inside the monitor space…

Here's something that has always bothered me: when the latest iMacs came out last fall, they were advertised as having a case that was more translucent. That locution, of course, m…
