G4 Renovation
http://roobarb.dfpx.co.uk/g4reno/g4intro.html
Roobarb.dfpx.co.uk. Technology and the like. The G4 Renovation Project. Back in 2003 I thoroughly treated myself, and bought an Apple PowerMac G4. The FW800 model) with Dual 1.42GHz processors. It's been a wonderful machine: the first Mac I've owned and a marvelous piece of technology. Almost three years on and a few upgrades later, this is still a very capable bit of kit. Late in 2005 I decided to do a bit of renovation, spurred on by this news. Into something capable of cooling two Freescale. If you ha...

June 2003 "Mirrored Drive Doors" Power Mac G4 (FW400) - Dual 1.25 GHz.and others. Tuesday, August 08, 2006. 5: Replacing the PSU Fans. I've never been good at leaving well enough alone. I can remember tinkering with some of my toys and plastic models, adding on stuff hoping it would make it "better", with disasterous consequences, of course. According to Bits and Pieces. As with the fan replacement odyssey I went through to replace my stock Papst fan with the Panaflow Ultra, I pored over all of the local...

The G4 Chronicles: January 2010

June 2003 "Mirrored Drive Doors" Power Mac G4 (FW400) - Dual 1.25 GHz.and others. Wednesday, January 20, 2010. In Praise of Folly. About a month or so ago, I wrote up a post on an experience I had fixing up an old Dell beater laptop. Okay, so this isn't exactly Mac related, but this little side project does involve the same spirit which motivated me to both be a part of the One Used Mac Per Child Project, and take on the task of rehabilitating two broken MacBooks. Covers that quite well, but suffice to s...

June 2003 "Mirrored Drive Doors" Power Mac G4 (FW400) - Dual 1.25 GHz.and others. Sunday, November 23, 2008. The (Not-So) Compleat Guide to USB 2.0 PCI Cards for Older G4 Macs. NB As I crawl the web for info on upgrades for my MDD and Sawtooth Power Macs, I'll undoubtably be coming across other info and various other interesting minutiae on PCI-based USB upgrades for Macs - I'll then be updating this post as I find more stuff. Enough corporate shilling - how well does the card work? Go into your Extensio...

June 2003 "Mirrored Drive Doors" Power Mac G4 (FW400) - Dual 1.25 GHz.and others. Sunday, May 21, 2006. Sunday Quickie: Contour Design's G-Riser. It seemed like a good idea at the time: CPUsed listed Contour Design's G-Riser. For $20. There's still a set or two lying around if you want one for some reason. Sadly, you wouldn't exactly know it from the installation guide. But the G-Riser is NOT compatible with the MDD Power Mac G4. Posted by Ctenuchid at 1:52 PM. Saturday, May 20, 2006. This image, also ta...

Roobarb.dfpx.co.uk. Technology and the like. Glad you could make it! Pour a coffee, take a seat and have a scoot around the site. As you might have noticed, we've had a bit of a re-jig of this place. I've decided that this site should specialise in technology-related waffle, so my photos have found a home on my Flickr pages. More than likely you're here for the G4 Renovation. Parts that are no longer required, but you might find useful for your own project, may be available from me on eBay.
