    I learned I will drive half way across the country to pick it up, rather than trust a seller to ship it. I have gone from Minnesota to Idaho to pickup a purchase.

    Computer names.

    Obviously if you look at my avatar, my G4 Rubik's Cube! My iMac 27" 2011 with Xeon processor and upgraded Radeon 4GB video card, I simply call BigMac. I have a Xeon E5-2696 18C/36T in a hackintosh with an R9 Nano that I call "MacPro Jr." because it is a mini-itx in a hand built case and water...

    Franklin MG-120TS Green Monochrome composite monitor [Repair in progress]

    I have been looking for info on this monitor... got it free from Free Geek Minneapolis some time ago when they still had a "free shelf". Sticker says "does not power on". After removing the swivel base (unnecessary), two screws along the bottom bezel from the back, and the three white screws...

    Basic tool kit for computer repair (not soldering tools)?

    Akin to the icecube tray, I save all my clear prescription bottles. Remove the label and I have a nice plastic container with a locking cover to keep my screws and parts in, all various sizes available.

    Sperry SP1 T3097 8088 clone, Salvaged and trying to resurrect

    Adding to my own story... The IBM keyboard I have is a terminal keyboard, not XT. So the seach continues. I can't use a Soarer's Converter as far as I can tell, so I searched many USB to XT and PS2 to XT converters out there and could not find something to work with what I have on hand...

    Did anyone notice this detail on the rainbow X?

    My STL files worked fine for home 3D printing, I have never tried them with a fab service. I had some warping with PETG that I had to adjust for... Your mileage may vary. As far as scaling goes, tolerances will be tighter if you shrink it.

    Did anyone notice this detail on the rainbow X?

    I had a brief posting about it here. And you can see full documentation and download STL files from Instructables.com

    Did anyone notice this detail on the rainbow X?

    I think there lies a distinction between creative license for self use, and mass production. The MaClock is a mass (or limited) production where it should not break the laws and illegally use the Apple logo. Now if I were to 3D print my own, for my own use, and not resell it, then who would...

    What did you do to your computer today?

    I thought only the MacPro4,1 dual cpu tray were the delid type. All other MacPro1,1-5,1 use standard lidded CPUs. I upgraded a 1,1 with standard lids on.

    What I've received as of late...

    If you want to make it about you, then yes, your own thread would probably be best.

    Help choosing accelerator/booster for Beige G3 266

    I picked up a B&W G3 with an OWC450 G4 in it that would not boot. Put that 450Mhz G4 into a beige G3 and got it up to 533MHz.

    Sperry SP1 T3097 8088 clone, Salvaged and trying to resurrect

    I ordered a Lo-tech ISA XT CF Adapter rev. 3 so I can add a CF card for a hard drive. I have to start somewhere, so I found an old Pentium 233 and installed DOS 6.22 on an internal CF card. I was then able to format a 720K floppy to use in a 3.5" drive on the Sperry. And the Sperry might...
