Lets say for some reason you are refinishing your case and want to disassemble all parts beforehand. Getting that latch off is kind of tricky. I googled and didn't find the answer... but I finally figured it out. The top hinge pin is held in place by a friction mount held in place by two...

I really love Free Geek Minneapolis. I grabbed a $10 MacPro1,1 a while back, and within the last month grabbed a MacPro2,1 for $5. Both were listed as projects with issues. While a 2,1 is technically the same as a 1,1 with just an updated firmware, EveryMac lists them as separate platforms...

Where can I order a male/female of this? Anyone have a part number? I probably want wire to wire connectors, not hole/solder or surface mount options. I want to add a power tap for a couple drives, but I don't want to mod the original parts. Apple TV Gen1 internal power connector. 1 row of 6...

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...

I picked up 21 computers from a garage clearing ad on craiglist last fall. 19 of the 21 were iMacs (2009-2011 21/24/27inch). Most had the screens removed, hard drives missing, no ram, a couple pieces of cover glass, most broken. After going through most of them for viability, I turned a few...

Anyone seen these before? Seller Aberco

Would have to hit the casino jackpot to roll on this one. eBay: maceffects glow in the dark

Three rescues I passed up on...

If you followed January's PPC Challenge, you would have seen me acquire multiple PPC machines, including: -$5 G5 Dual 1.8GHz non booting (it had a V2 and V1 CPU mismatch, no GPU), Free Geek Minneapolis -$10 G5 Dual 2.5GHz non booting (dead PSU, leaking LCS), Free Geek Minneapolis -$10 G5 Quad...
