http://atxg4.com/mdd.html Recapping the PSU might be a worthwhile weekend venture as well if you know the cap values. @The House of Moth has instructions for a G5 Xserve psu recap from his website. I wonder if he has similar info for a B&W psu?

I've been meaning to get this on my mbp since Friday morning lol. Great work. I love the clean, minimal theme especially the collapsible menus out of the box. It kind of reminds me (stylistically) of the ppc one world browser for that AphoticD put together years back. Pretty cool when you...

Well I was bummed out that Kenny killed it. I remember my third or fourth date with my wife and I spied that iMac on her desk and thought “a Macintosh gal” eh. Of course I had to marry her after that lol. Anyhoo, losing the iMac as THE mac in that memory really sucked. I could replace it but...

I've got three trayloaders. My cat killed my wifes slot loader unfortunately that was in storage on a top shelf in a bedroom closet. He got up there knocked it off being nosey AF as he was, it landed 7 or so feet on the ground and broke/cracked just about every component on it - No chime, no...

Ahh boy, the dreaded forgot -to-check-the-ram pass over - done that a couple times myself in my rush to fix a machine. That polishing really looks fantastic. I have the exact polish so will grab some of those rotary pads this weekend. Totally going to shine up my imacs :D

Ok, got around to doing mine. The led strip I bought came with the wrong tip (6.5mm barrel jack) so I cobbled together 12v& ground molex to a 4.5mm plug to power the strip and voila, it turned on. I split power from the optical drive. Being LED I thought the 3.3v would work but not enough juice...

Not at all. The speaker opening is conical in shape on the QS so the adapter rested on the interior taper of said opening, never reaching the speaker.

Before anything I would plug em in and see if a cuda reset will bring them back to life. My B&W on occasion has shown absolutely no life after fiddling with its bits - that behavior included non-functioning power button. It presents like a completely dead box/psu, so if you dont know, its easy...

Yep, my suggestions fall short of what you are looking for. Best of luck to you. :)

I use hostinfo in terminal or machine to find cpu type.

Sure looks cool but that is prohibitively pricey!

How’s this going?

Very nice - love the enclosure. I live in the sweet spot around my neck of the woods where there are no deer. We have a ton of mule deer around here but I’m far enough away from the mountain foothills and far enough from the river/bosque to not have to worry about them. The only critter I see...

With the prices of lumber *much* more rational, I built a new 1/2 bed that buttresses up to my tool shed. I repurposed some random pavers the previous owners had left stacked up behind the shed for the shed facing foundation, dumped in some yard waste and compost in the bottom, then about 5...

I know this is a thing for vintage toys like Starwars & Action Man for example although Ive not run into it for retro big box video games. I wonder if one of the SW/AM repro box makers would consider big box video games? Some do custom boxes, so worth a shot to ask maybe...

Very coool! Hold on to them 😀

LOL I did the same thing. :D

They read like a current day evolved version of TOTC corn plastics like the stuff folks use to make biodegradable trash bags for composting etc. Some neat stuff out there. The water soluble stuff is a synthetic polymer but is not technically a plastic I guess. It dissolves in water and came...

I'm no plastics expert but I thought this was an easy & informative read on plastics/polymer behavior. https://www.pslc.ws/mactest/mech.htm#:~:text=In%20short%2C%20rigid%20plastics%20tend,they%20tend%20not%20to%20break. From what I found on the interwebs, the brittle nature of plastic is a...
