    The last find for May 2024: Dual Intel 2.0GHz (quad core) MacPro1,1 from Free Geek for $10. I have another MacPro2,1 that is flaky as well, so maybe together I can piece one good one, and one donor case for a Hackintosh motherboard. Still organizing and moving things around, but cleaning...

    Dumb Question: I Need To Get A PCI USB Card For My G4 MDD, But...

    33 MHz 64-bit PCI slots, not PCIE which are most modern products. If you can find a modern one in non-PCIE, it might be a crap shoot whether it works or not. I found several generic PCI cards at my local Free Geek, and they worked fine in the Graphite AGP and Quicksilver. If you can get...

    Hi from Minnesota

    Welcome! I have been frequenting Free Geek almost weekly now, rescuing old mac projects when they are available and within my budget. A lot of macs passed through my hands as well, and I didn't really consider myself a collector of sorts, until 2023.

    Best hardware for setting up NetInstalls?

    Try DeployStudio? I used this when I worked for a public school system back in 2009-2012. Use the wayback machine for documentation.

    What is this??

    Earliest I can find on Wayback Machine is 1998, products for early PPC machines. So my guess would be a TV tuner card for Pre-G3 machines, like 7100/8100? Look at the back of this 6500, looks like a tuner card similar, though I am unfamiliar with the slot connector internally. Another back...

    What ZIF is this?

    Are there any resources out there with all the makes/model of G3/G4 ZIF processors? I just bought a B&W tower with 350MHz processor, and it went to 400 fine in OS9 and 10.2, but when I took it to 450, os9 was fine but osx did not boot (as expected). I bought a cheap ZIF on eBay that the seller...

    Making a crutch for a 23" Studio Display

    I have the other end of this problem (hinge replacement). My hinge is fine, but my acrylic kickstand is broken. Not much left to hold on to I removed the excess to make room for a metal shim so the screws can hold on tightly. I used some flat sheet aluminum and a bench vise to bend it. I...

    Passed on this Free Geek Bondi-Blue iMac set for $120. Heading down to Cedar Rapids, Iowa on Friday 5/3 to pickup a B&W G3 tower so I have a mother for my baby. That will complete my set of 'one of each kind' of rounded Powermac towers. I had to 3D print an opening tool for the tiny pull ring.
