I didn't! Would probably be good to have a look in there eventually as well though many people just swap in modern ATX units with a modified cable adapter.

Ahh randomly came across a company selling them in the UK https://www.keyboardco.com/product/matias-quiet-click-key-switch-modules.asp

Matias quiet clicks are a good match for the silenced white/creams in the AEKII though I'm not sure of where you can buy them in a small amount these days. A box of 200 is $50 from them direct though. https://matias.store/products/matias-quiet-click-switch-box-of-200 Sadly, they don't really...

It looks like the "new design" Panachrome Muted White's hex code has changed... looks like a worse match based on the hex codes... anybody tried the new color out?

If you have a pair of metal pointed tweezers, you can insert the tips into the vias for the switch and pinch gently to short it to test. This is standard procedure for testing PCBs in the custom keyboard hobby. If your switches are in bad shape, but you can get the PCB working correctly, you can...

I picked up a SATA card for it in addition to my USB card and Rage 128 and after using it for a few hours one night, it was basically dead the next day and wouldn't chime or light up the power LED (PSU fan would spin though). Recapping fixed my issue (as well as fighting with CUDA afterwards).

Ok I finally got around to replacing the last small capacitor and the caps on the voltage regulator board tonight. I will note that small 10uf 16v cap is tiny. Might be able to use a slightly larger on to make it a little easier. The solid polymer caps are working great in the system so far...

I have a Radeon 7500 in my G4 Cube and have no issue getting 1920x1200 out of it with an ADC to DVI adapter.

My Beige G3 tower started having problems recently, so I figured a re-cap was in order. I didn't find any guide or capacitor list so I decided to make my own for reference as I worked. Here is a capacitor list for the board and the capacitors I used (I haven't done the tiny 10uf 16v yet...

I have some of the PCBs and connectors with plans to build at least one out eventually... needed to source a power supply (and connector for it) still along with some other little bits to build it. I couldn't find a clear easy option for the power connector they suggested so I haven't really...

I wasn't aware of the bluescsi toolbox method, that's nice. I typically use a piscsi to get the initial installation and networking set up on machines (if they have networking) and then I have a Mac OS X 10.4 Server VM running in ESXi on a trash can mac Pro as my file server/repository. My only...

Ops. That'll do it!

Sounds like something inside the switch is possibly problematic. Alps switches are not terribly dust or moisture proof and both can cause problems eventually inside the switch. You can (carefully) open alps switches without desoldering them if you wanted to examine the leaf and contacts for...
