Stopped by Free Geek Minneapolis last week and found this Quicksilver $10 project. Labeled "Won't boot to any external media, For parts / project HDD, RAM removed $10" I can't say no, so I took it home. I threw in a single 256MB DIMM and a mechanical hard drive from another old G4 and powered...

Yes. You may have to make some adapters to align the mount holes. I have mounted a SATA slot load thin drive from an aluminum iMac into my cube with a SATA to IDE adapter. if you have a 3D printer, see attachment for slimline/laptop style slot load drive.

I am still working on the files, but I have printed the 7600 (should be the same as 7300?). And if you need the internal kickstand (Chassis Stand), I have that too!

Thanks so much! I will update my G3 files to add that hook on the rear corner (where mine was missing).

My 3D printer is an Ender 3 Pro, so limited to 8x8x8 inches. I had to split this in two and add a seam. I was pondering gluing them together, but after printing I remembered that I have some threaded inserts, or I could use nuts. I may just soldering iron in some knurled inserts. I printed...

Found this in some documentation...

The iMac G4s use a regular Desktop DIMM internal on the logic board, and a SODIMM that is "User Accessible" by removing the bottom base plate cover.

Just trying this out now... Some suggestions: 1. Optional interface colors. When in light mode in system preferences, I get black text on dark gray which is very hard to read. To get the version I see in the screen shots here, I have to go to Dark Mode in system preferences. Personally, I am...

This is my best guess... going to print and see how they fit. PM7600 G3 Desktop top views PM7600 G3 Desktop

There is a ton of stuff out there... http://tenfourfox.blogspot.com/2021/07/and-now-for-something-completely.html https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/comprehensive-guide-to-servicing-g5-quad-lcs.2455017/...

I did find some other threads in google of other people using alternate pumps (other part numbers), but I have not seen anyone convert a dual pump to single pump. In theory it should work as long as the pump can keep going. @HrutkayMods has several G5 videos on Youtube about converting LCS to...

I recently acquired both a PM7600 and Beige G3 desktop with very brittle plastics. Both internal Card Retainer Baffles were damaged and missing pieces. I know they don't really do much, but I would like to have the part for completeness sake. I am generating a 3D model that I will share...

Sounds interesting... let us know how it goes and I may try to duplicate. My G3 DT currently has a 450MHz G4 in it, overclocked to 533MHz.

Here is a detailed log of someone's LCS 1 (single pump) repair. I know there are at least 3 different versions of the LCS. Some single pump, some dual.

The link I provided is a DMG, as well as this one... but if you have PowerISO, it can burn a mac DMG file on Windows. It does not need to be a CD, it could be a DVD, but it needs to be a format the that internal drive can read. Not all drives can read all media types.
