There was a big hoopla back in the day about Apple switching to "cheaper" IDE HDDs back in the day. In other threads we've discussed just how awful Apple's impl…

I'm sure some of you have gambled before on purchases not knowing exactly what you had until you opened up a computer. This is one of them and is either going t…
So, I've been buying some old Mac-II era carcasses (gutted cases) on eBay and whatnot, intending to mod them into semi-modern cases. However, backplates general…
For a low, low price of 30$. Usually you see people hawking G4s for 100$ or more. Good deal. Specs: 1.5 GHz Core Solo, 2 GB RAM, 160 GB HD, and the latest versi…
