There's actually one more possibility which I describe exclusively in the text description under my video on Youtube. Specifically, you can cut down an LC575's Analog Board to fit inside the CC. See @Kay K.M.Mods blog entry about that. Tyler Smith also did this article about it too. And since...

Thank you for your kind words, @Stephen. I can only add that if anyone has a stock Color Classic you want to mod to 640x480, then you must chose Method #1 or #2 as described in my video. I implemented Method #3 because it works with my LC575 Mystic motherboard and results in the least strain...

Fellow Color Classic Mystic lovers, wouldn't you like to play Marathon, Dark Forces, have more workspace in Photoshop, and access all those amazing CD-ROMs that otherwise won't run on your 512x384 screen? In this new video, I review 3 hardware methods to achieve a higher 640x480 pixel...

If you ever have the desire to contact the buyer, please invite him to this thread. It's truly a rare item, and having some real-world testing on a projector would be pretty amazing.

My goodness you got an amazing kit. How much did it cost? If you have a projector, I'd absolutely LOVE to see how it looks when projected onto a wall!

You will be surprised how much you can squeeze! On my Mystic, it's shocking. Again, I've never read anyone report the speeds I've achieved, and the limiting factor is VRAM, despite the fact I'm using 60ns, which from what I understand, is the fastest available. If there was a set of 50ns...

@rikerjoe After reading your post about being a genuine rocket scientist working for NASA (who worked with Macs too!), I must say that we absolutely need a YouTube channel from you detailing the finer details of your job. That really is an impressive line of work you are in, especially when it...

Thanks for the links. The EBAY seller doesn't ship to Japan, and I've not tried to buy from NewEgg before so I don't know if they ship to Japan either. But despite the adapters looking the same, the IC used is really key. If the chips are different, then performance or compatibility could be...

What video card, and how did you flash it to be compatible with the Cube? How do you have the SATA SSD mounted inside the Cube such that it doesn't rattle around when you move the Cube or flip it upside down to pull out the core?

I'd love to see more photos of your complete setup all connected, as well as a link to that EBAY listing! Also, what's performance like?

My video on Spicy overclocking will follow my next video on the 640x480 mod.

2008 to 2011 iMacs have graphics card issues. I know this because many 2008 owners of both the smaller and larger type contact me in the comments section under my YouTube Bake videos and let me know they had a problem but the bake cured it for them.

"Professional" has come to mean "someone who does something for a living," instead of the more intuitive definition of "a real expert in their field." You'd think the daily experience of doing something "on the job" would make one a real expert, but such isn't always the case. As is true of...

It very well could be that @Mr. Fahrenheit and @Drake purchased the last of the world's supply of compatible 60ns chips! ;-) Perhaps they would be willing to share their respective experiences.

I am still working on my Mystic 640x480 Mod video right now, but after that I will do the Spicy O'Clock video. I've been working with Kay on the topic of overclocking for quite some time now, and the overclocking speeds are surprisingly good. But it all depends on VRAM, plus my SECRET SAUCE. :)...

HDD replacement with an SD card solution will reduce current consumption and heat. However, if you add upgrades when consume more power and therefore generate more heat, the reduced airflow may be a concern, especially in the summer, unless you are blasting the A/C.

At the rated speed of 2500rpm, the datasheet of that SUNON fan says it has an airflow of 13.8 CFM. Noise is a very lo 13.8 dB(A) as a result, but whether the near silent operation is worth the low airflow will vary by use case.

If every key other than F5 works and are correctly mapped, then F5 must be dead or improperly soldered.

You don’t need to add any resistor in series with your wire and Flathead screwdriver when you discharge. The alligator clip on your wire definitely needs to connect to the ground lug/bolt in the upper left corner of the CRT when looking at the CRT from behind. Don’t connect your wire to the...

I don't wiggle off that small PCB (CRT Yoke Board) until after I have discharged the CRT. The reason is because you have high voltage passing through that little board during operation, so if your CRT isn't fully discharged when you remove it, you leave yourself open to a potential shock. Not...
