Obviously if you look at my avatar, my G4 Rubik's Cube! My iMac 27" 2011 with Xeon processor and upgraded Radeon 4GB video card, I simply call BigMac. I have a Xeon E5-2696 18C/36T in a hackintosh with an R9 Nano that I call "MacPro Jr." because it is a mini-itx in a hand built case and water...

I have been looking for info on this monitor... got it free from Free Geek Minneapolis some time ago when they still had a "free shelf". Sticker says "does not power on". After removing the swivel base (unnecessary), two screws along the bottom bezel from the back, and the three white screws...

Akin to the icecube tray, I save all my clear prescription bottles. Remove the label and I have a nice plastic container with a locking cover to keep my screws and parts in, all various sizes available.

Adding to my own story... The IBM keyboard I have is a terminal keyboard, not XT. So the seach continues. I can't use a Soarer's Converter as far as I can tell, so I searched many USB to XT and PS2 to XT converters out there and could not find something to work with what I have on hand...

My STL files worked fine for home 3D printing, I have never tried them with a fab service. I had some warping with PETG that I had to adjust for... Your mileage may vary. As far as scaling goes, tolerances will be tighter if you shrink it.

I had a brief posting about it here. And you can see full documentation and download STL files from Instructables.com

I think there lies a distinction between creative license for self use, and mass production. The MaClock is a mass (or limited) production where it should not break the laws and illegally use the Apple logo. Now if I were to 3D print my own, for my own use, and not resell it, then who would...

I thought only the MacPro4,1 dual cpu tray were the delid type. All other MacPro1,1-5,1 use standard lidded CPUs. I upgraded a 1,1 with standard lids on.

Keeping a hat on top of it in case it gets cold?

You can get a small module that will play a sound from a MicroSD card, see this old build here. eBay MP3 audio player.

If you want to make it about you, then yes, your own thread would probably be best.

I picked up a B&W G3 with an OWC450 G4 in it that would not boot. Put that 450Mhz G4 into a beige G3 and got it up to 533MHz.

I ordered a Lo-tech ISA XT CF Adapter rev. 3 so I can add a CF card for a hard drive. I have to start somewhere, so I found an old Pentium 233 and installed DOS 6.22 on an internal CF card. I was then able to format a 720K floppy to use in a 3.5" drive on the Sperry. And the Sperry might...

I completed the analog board recap. Since I swapped tubes with a Macintosh Classic, the tube in the Frankenstein will be white. I thought I found the correct pinout for the keybaord, but maybe not. Since the keyboard I have is assumed to be XT and not AT, I assume it should direct connect...

I hereby nominate myself for a vacant position. Over the last few years, this forum has changed me in many positive ways. I have expanded my collection, my knowledge, my participation in this community, and my interest in tinkering. I plan to retire from full-time work in the next 2-3 years...

Now the swap! 700Mhz screen into the 1GHz machine! The Pressure marks are gone! But the center looks dark. This will be a candidate for PPC Challenge 2027 for CCFL to LED conversion. To the LCD panel pulled: definitely different, but identical functionality. This one had an additional...

I have a 1GHz 15" with some screen smudges, so I want to swap out the screen anyway. I have a non-functioning 700MHz G4 that will be the donor. The iFixIt teardown getting to step 8, that is NOT the screen code you need (it appears to match the serial number). The panel code is under the...

Being that there were three/four different variants of the G4 15", which do you have? They may have different panels internal, depending on model. Once you know which one you have, finding a similar panel equivalent on Panelook.com might help in your search. I am going to assume it is some...
