    Bought a PowerMac G4

    Picking up an old G4 was what get me started on Macs. You can find dual-processor modules on ebay, but it has to be from the same family, the fastest one for your generation of G4 will be ~450 Hz. Be sure to get the dual-version heatsink, if you upgrade the chip module. Gave this one to...

    Macbook Air Personal Experiences thus far?

    Had mine for about 3 weeks now, replaced an early 2006 15" MBP. Got the base 13", since this one travels with my company laptop, it doesn't need to be a beast. Seven hours on battery is no exaggeration. Resolution is the same as the old MBP. Love the size and weight, instant on, and no heat...

    Kingston 64GB SSD

    27" iMac opinions?

    I picked up the base model, Core 2 3.06. I have an i7 920 machine and will either pick up a 4890 or wait for the 5800 series issue with target display mode to be fixed. I'm not a gamer, though my son was able to turn WoW all the way up and go everywhere in the game. Love the Magic...

    They're 36s... Never saw ATTO scores over 100 until this board. BTW, I just transplanted the Silicon Image PCI raid card from xp2500 mobile rig, not using on-board raid yet.

    athlon 64 motherboard

    I'm enjoying the Chaintech ZNF-250. It has a working PCI lock and downward adjustable multis. Using 1 week 14 Newcastle 3000, with Hyperx 4000, I'm stable at 2.5 Ghz on air (silent Boost). With 2 Raptors in Raid, I get over 20,000 PCmark02s, and over 21,000 3dmark01. Sandra CPU scores are...

    whats the worst hit you took on a modding project?

    Lost a 9500np to a water leak--and a Soltek FRN2 Nforce board to another leak. Soldering iron also got me a couple of times. Love it, tho. (though I wonder if it's in a healthy way...)
