>You replaced the video chipset ?  Just a swap in replacement ?

Little harder. I put together a daughter board that sit where the 
ole'CnT65550 used to be. It was a goofy experiment. The 65555 chip is 
software compatible with the original 65550 chip. It's no where near 
pin compatible and was a mess to get working, however it has a lot of 
nifty features.

>You reaplced the LCD with another LCD ?  Which model ?

I grabbed it out of a friend's trashed Sharp Mebius laptop. Can't 
remember the model number, I'll have to look when I get home.

>250 MHz _G4_ ???!?!?!?!?!?!   <---- How ?

Take a NewerTech upgrade, remove the G3 processor, attach a first 
generation G4 chip in it's place and beef up the power supply 
circuitry and add a fan. The first G4 CPU is pin-compatible with the 
G3 chip. Other than being super power hungry, it works great-ish.

I also over clocked the bus to 50 MHz and lowered the bus multiplier. 
I pushed it to 500MHz once, but the CPU power supply exploded when I 
started any program that used AltiVec.

Downside is the battery life dropped from my original 90 minutes to 
about 15 minutes. Yuck.

Many, many times. The smoke isn't too bad, dodging the the flying 
bits of electronics after a capacitor blew get annoying tho'
