Re: What else to do with your old machines
But think of this, does anyone even care enough about an old PC case to save it at all? They go straight to the chipper. Only the bland ones do. The nice ones are saved and re-used over and over and over and over and over and over again. Case and point: my 1991 PC Server. It's about twice as tall as the standard PC cases, but it's the same width. I'm planning on re-fitting it for a new systemboard, and it'll work with a new coat of paint (they're like cars) Just a thought. -- -Proudly Sent from a Windows PC -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Although years ago there was a movement to paint Powerbooks I am not aware it went much beyond that for Macs. Especially desktops. The sites I saw had Japanese machines. CPU has contests and a monthly feature machine. But i do not recall any macs. Even though CPU often includes Macs in tests and reviews. Yes I hear about people cutting holes and inserting lights etc. The usual fluff but have seen no Macs like the PC art one sees in CPU every month. The relative lack of hot rod hardware ( unlike the PCI days) works against all out custom Macs. If Mac boards were AT / ATX, things would be different. And what anyone does with the PC is for another list. -- Adrian D'Alessio aka; Fluxstringer fluxstrin...@gmail.com http://www.flickr.com/photos/fluxstreamcommunication/ http://www.facebook.com/FluxStringer http://www.linkedin.com/in/fluxstreamcommunications http://flux-influx.blogspot.com/ http://fluxdreams.designbinder.com/ http://twitter.com/FluxStringer -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: Old G3
The iBooks, and G3 BW tower were Blueberry. The only Mac to come in Bondi was the original G3 iMac; so basically, when you have an iMac that's blue-ish, if it: 1. Has a tray loading drive, and 2. Has an IR port with one of the speakers, it's Bondi. Otherwise, it's Blueberry. -Elliott On Thu, Apr 22, 2010 at 12:03 PM, Wallace Adrian D'Alessio fluxstrin...@gmail.com wrote: On Thu, Apr 22, 2010 at 6:30 PM, Bill Chapman pagew...@interlog.com wrote: Yeah, I saw that wiki page several months ago... the colours are way off on my displays.

eMac Mod?
I have the original 700mhz eMac G4 with a DVD Superdrive (installed it myself) and 1GB of RAM. I have added an airport card. I was wondering if anyone has attempted to overclock one, and if anyone knows how paint will turn out on one, as the one I bought was from a smoking home so the front panel is slightly yellowed and I plan on painting it black, to match my black MacBook Jeremiah Stevens -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: eMac Mod?
Hi, I've never attempted OCing either of my eMacs. I have the '04 and '05 models. The 1.25 GHz has been slow with iPhoto and later heavy web browsing. I would maybe try the OC on your model with some supervision by a computer pro. As for painting, flat black would look really nice on an eMac with chrome detailing on the speaker grilles and air intake spokes. I'd go for auto primer and paints. -Mike On Apr 22, 5:01 pm, Jeremiah Stevens jeremiah.stev...@prodigy.net wrote: I was wondering if anyone has attempted to overclock one, and if anyone knows how paint will turn out on one, as the one I bought was from a smoking home so the front panel is slightly yellowed and I plan on painting it black, to match my black MacBook Jeremiah Stevens -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
