    Fan Replacements

    Here's a graph for those like me who prefer visual, tactile learning. You can see that with a very high static pressure of 200pa, airflow is very low around 4 cfm. Conversely, a really low static pressure of say 50pa at 50hz, has a comparatively very high airflow at around 18cfm. This shows how...

    Fan Replacements

    The way I understand it is when Static Pressure increases, air flow decreases and vice versa - think of a computer case and a straight open path for air to flow right through it (this is your positive static pressure), then stick a bunch of hot componentry like cpu heat sinks, PSUs, pci cards...

    Picasso Dealer Sign: LED replacement?

    When I upgraded to LED bulbs in my light fixtures through the house, the dimmable units (dining room, downstairs family room, master bath etc.) hummed at 120hz badly. It was very annoying - drove me crazy. To fix that, I installed Lutron LED dimmers Lutron LED dimmer at the wall switch that...

    Power Macintosh G4 - 733

    Sounds pretty awesome. Did you refit the 7450swith the 7455's? How painful if at all was that? MO? very cool - Ive never seen a MagnetoOptical drive in the wild before. Are they plug n play in a PMG4 or do you need a driver? Pictures of it wasn't built! :D

    120GB SSDs in G4 Cube

    SSDs and cubes remind me of the old (yet very, very true) saying - It doesn't have to be pretty, it just has to work. The solution above is what I use in one of my MDDs. With adapter, you're looking at 5x3.25 inches all in, so 12.7 x 8.255 centimeters - cube owners can measure the drive space...

    120GB SSDs in G4 Cube

    In regards to the pata/sata adapter, look for the Marvell 88SA8052 chipset. These work well in macs & are commonly found with red PCBs (although I do have a no name in green).You see them sold under StarTech, Manhattan, etc.

    120GB SSDs in G4 Cube

    Well, the adapter is going through the ATA-5 bus so has a max speed of 66MBps. Still, a modern SSD is going to crush a spinner at small file writes (especially the 5400rpm 20 & 40gb era Apple hdds) and as such should yield a noticeable improvement in boot up, app start up etc. Even without TRIM...

    2008 iMac 24” Restoration Journey

    Oh you know, I think I misunderstood you. If you are trying to take your imac to Monterey, you can use @Mr. Macintosh 's instruction here. I have not done this myself so linked Mr.Macintosh to this response if you had any other questions...

    2008 iMac 24” Restoration Journey

    Hmm, I typically use disk utility & format a 8gb + flash drive to GUID, then copy over the dmg you want to install. Reboot-option and select the flashdrive via boot selector and install. IIRC max macOS for 2008 imac is El Cap 10.11 64bit but if you want to beyond that, you can use a patcher...

    Middle Norway checking in

    Hmm, when you are making a show for a foreign market, the goal I think is to drive interest and tourism and with that certain creative liberties are taken. Assumptions on the content creators side to produce a product that will be palletable and easy to consume to the target culture/audience...

    Middle Norway checking in

    Hi & welcome! I always loved the thought of hanging out in & eating/drinking my way through Norway/Scandinavia after watching this cooking show many years ago. Something about eating atop a fjord next to a wood fire that captivates my senses and feels like home...

    2022 PowerPC Challenge!

    I had a weird thing happen this evening. I made a PPCC 2022 ibook vid in Snapz X2 and exported to quicktime 7.7. No problem, the vid & all audio plays fine. I then upload this to YT and the mic audio is absent - ibook screen cap audio is there but mic audio is not. Very weird - anyhow, I decide...

    2008 iMac 24” Restoration Journey

    GPU issues creep all the way back to the original 24" 2006 white Intel imac and is heat related. In these 2006-2008 designs, the GPU heatsink is right up against the back of the LCD screen & airflow in these even when clean isn't great. When I originally had artifcating and failure on my 24"...

    Fat Head dough

    Ok here’s some pics. Ok first impressions - it’s not terrible. It cops that thin crust vibe visually. Flavor - it’s surprisingly inert. You’d think with all that dairy that it would have more flavor but truthfully, not much going on there aside from some toasted cheese notes (kinda). I put...
