Thanks for sharing that, very useful to see it from the inside. Yeah, had a suspicion it might be painted. I would consider just literally taking the rear shell or the optical drive bezel into the paint store and having them color-match that, for the greatest degree of accuracy possible. I'll...

Man, nothing like some good ol' mushroom management and literally just deleting constructive feedback to quell the masses. Agree with you, not sure how they could have done a worse job beyond just taking out the whole site. Emphasis on the "we've said this before and not delivered." What a...

The front portion of the case on the eMac commonly yellows, probably due to exposure to UV light like with the older ABS plastics on Macs from the '80s and '90s. It ends up looking something like this: Interestingly it is just the front panel that does this, not the rear "shell" or the...

Yup, and I am working on copying all of the written exchanges with useful info I've had like this into a separate document. Though it is obviously somewhat "on hold" until if/when the site comes back up again. In this case it's probably only useful to me (at least for now), but depending on...

Given the constant and horrid unreliability, at this point it might be wise to assume that anything written/listed/stored/archived there WILL be gone at some point, soon. The admins clearly don't care whatsoever. Would encourage anyone who has anything of value to back it up immediately.

Done - I had a similar experience with mine. I did it on a concrete floor with a thin layer of vinyl on top. Little bits of chipping in the magnet but that's the cost of doing business I guess. On one side the shield popped off first, and then I had to separate the magnet separately, but on...

This is great, thanks. I've updated the link on my site with this new source. I still need to remove the magnets from my old ones and put them on the new. How hard were they to dislodge? My sense was that it was gonna take a serious blow with a hammer and chisel or something, done outdoors...

Any luck with those replacement drivers @Marconelly? I've had someone reach out to me asking for advice on a replacement part, so I'll send them this link if these worked for you.

Today I am very happy to announce CompleteSet, a new online resource for vintage Mac collectors and enthusiasts. The goal of CompleteSet is to provide a complete, accurate, and functional resource for determining the accessories, peripherals, software disks, and documentation materials that...

Recently this boxed example of an XtremeMac U.F.O. came up for sale, and I had to jump on it. This was a really neat accessory I've always been a fan of. It was made specifically for the iMac G4, and it provides front-facing USB and FireWire ports, cable management, and a super cool blue...

This is great. So what would you approximate as the cost to convert one of these displays over to LED? Would there be much difference between the size versions (15", 17", 20", 22", 23")?

I'll be there tomorrow. Am I allowed to bring something to sell (an iBook) even if I'm not a "vendor" or have a table reserved etc.?

This is great, thanks for sharing. Didn't even think to check the Internet Archive. Yeah, this is surely just another low-volume rebadged accessory product sold by a small company with limited success, but it's great to have the website archive available to see. One thing that really stands...

Howdy folks, I recently posted a thread about this on 68kMLA but figured I'd cross-post here as well. I recently acquired this NOS "iCube Multimedia Super Woofer Speaker System." According to the box it was produced by a Silicon-Valley-based company named Ice Technology, copyright date is 1999...
