I think pursuing a bargain can cause you to overemphasize price as a deciding factor. Once a machine reaches a certain age, the parts needed to upgrade it to something close to modern capability make it at least as expensive as a more recent model. A processor upgrade (which runs about...

You can put applecare on a mac for up to a year from the ORIGINAL date of purchase (when it was new). Adium is cool.

That dual 1ghz you linked to on ebay doesn't seem to have an airport card. the older "original" airport cards are getting harder to find and can be a bit overpriced. Keep in mind that you would have to get one if you want to use this machine on a wireless network. (Not usually as big a concern...

The dual 1ghz is going to be a solid performer for the next couple of years running the latest software. You can get an ATI Radeon 9600 for it for under a hundred bucks these days. That would allow you to have every last bit of eye candy Apple currently offers (if you're so inclined). I still...

Since I found the internal module for a mere $19, I couldn't resist trying it out!

thanks for the note, HateEternal. The Apple genius bar guys are great unless you ask a question for which their scripts have no "official" answer such as this. great link, bobw. It's a good reference, even if it's not the same system. I've built a peecee or two. The guts of my G4 don't...

I just purchased the Apple "Service Part" bluetooth module. It should arrive tomorrow and I'm going to try my luck installing it in my FW800 MDD dualie. What happened with your quest for bluetooth?
