    Power Macintosh 9600/300

    Managed to score one of these a few months ago, but I've been slowly gathering the parts needed to turn this into a monster. It's stock as far as CPU goes (300MHz 604ev), although I do have a few G3 cards I might try. I even have a 400MHz Formac ZIF carrier card, but no heatsink I can use. If...

    I gotta say, although purple looks good - matte black with ENIG Gold finish is.... :chefskiss: ;)

    Fix Mark's Stuff!

    Hey everyone - one of our very own, @Mark Fixes Stuff has had a horrible tragedy happen, in the form of a house fire. We can only imagine how devastated both he and his family are at this time - Mark, if there's anything we here at TinkerDifferent can do to help, let us know. There's a...
