$400 USD a troy ounce ! :D

If your alarms dont have a viewable LED, my thought would be to disconnect one at a time from the loop and recreate the no power scenario until you find the culprit machine. Removing it from the loop will stop the errant fire signal which will be the defunct unit needing replacement. Good luck.

I had this exact problem at a condo I owned years ago. My set up was identical to yours - hard wired to the breaker box with a 9v battery back up in each. What I ultimately did was intentionally set off the alarms at the breaker and then I walked around to each one (I had 4 in the condo)...

That is a fantastic score. Very cool 🙂

Very cool! Got a pic?

Those adapters are the A1006. I have collected a few over the years. You can find them on ebay pretty regularly however they're pricey. Ive found a few on shopgoodwill.com for better prices however the best pricing is if you can find bundled with an old screen - for example I got another for...

The early Powermac G4s I have include either TNT Pro or Geforce MMX 2 & 4, all of which include VGA and ADC, but no DVI. DVI started showing up at MDD and their Radeon 9000s. I was considering this cheap adapter as a solution for my Blue & White actually which has only VGA out at the moment...

I've been shopping around for faster home internet as my old phone lines have centurylink ADSL capped at 24mbps and I average around 20-21 with no activity - with a SD movie, or kids streaming toonies, I'm looking at around 7-10 free. I was about to pull the plug on Xfinity 200mbps at $45m but...

Did you get ChatGPT to write that? :)

One easy way to do it is to use pre-made modular solutions where you buy the bits/features you want and will fit in your space, anchor the back corners/wall of the closet first and then work outward from there securing the storage to wall studs. Unfilled open spaces in between can be used to...

Very nice custom heatsink :)

There is alot of helpful experience/knowledge about G4 era Powermacs over on macrumors as well (which is where I did alot of my research on D card compatibility). Quite a few folks over there still daily-ing or close to that their PowerPC Powermacs. Coincidentally, I was doing some maintenance...

I havent done the mod myself but it is my understanding that a QS daughter card can be used in GE & DA. A 12v rail from the PSU needs to be soldered to the unused upper left corner mounting hole and the QS daughter card - the way it connects forces it to protrude out further (towards the left...

I have a few loose daughter cards for QS & MDD. First off the QS is green and they debuted in 2001, so likely the daughter card will be dated as such (All of mine are). QS discontinued 2002 at the August introduction of MDD so while I havent run into a 2002 dated card myself, I have seen some...

Im one of them. I dont use FB. Very cool & great friend to think of you! :)

Ahh, I see. You like taunting us with you good fortune, eh? :D Amazing score!

That’s very cool. I love the aesthetic of these - so awesome. Exactly the sort of project I’m attracted to but I have a thing for quality speakers, DAW studio monitors etc. Always satisfying when you bring something back to life 🙂

Welcome 🙂

I live in the desert so you can imagine the sun is very intense on homes. I found this idea/recipe for a cooling paint very cool (pardon the pun). This along with evaporative cooling would be fantastic or even as basic as a coating over/around the evaporative cooler itself could help cool the...

I prefer a solid background for reading information (like TD's dark theme for example - solid white on gray). Reading off a background like that fatigues my old eyeballs. The cloud colors on black text is much easier to read vs 1v.
