Ive had this sawtooth built and running for about a month now, but its never really been the way i like it. Its built with eBay parts. It is a rev 1 Sawtooth, 450MHz, 896MB RAM, one DIMM is high density, flashed PC Radeon 9200 128MB VRAM, Fujitsu MAN3367 U160 SCSI drive on a PowerDomain 39160, modded ATX PS, superdrive, OS 10.3.5. My problems:
I can only get the SCSI drive working in Single Ended mode, not DIFFSNS (presumably the equivalent of LVD). I am using an U160 terminator. The computer has recently had problems accessing ATA HDs, but not the superdrive. I have tried both busses and several cables. The computer only works with the case open. The temp in my room is in the high 80s. I have 2 fans on the processor. When the case is closed, the harddrive does not seem to get accessed. It is very sensitive to vibration. Closing the case or a mild kick almost always results in a freeze. My keyboard has fallen on the motherboard, resulting in a freeze, but after a restart everything works. Presumably I didnt cause permanent MoBo damage. Lastly, the computer seems slow. Playing poker online results in Internet Explorer using over 50 percent of the processor, whereas OS 9 ran it much smoother. Everything just seems much slower in OS X than in OS 9.
