Have a bigger drive I need to add. The cheaper the better, shipped to 14616. Must be Mac compatible obviously.

Also need a video card that supports 1920x1200 resolution preferably with a D-Sub connection. Thanks :)

I actually have a Sonnet Tempo ATA card which I am going to be getting rid of in the next week or so. I'm parting out my Powermac G4, and it'll be sold separately. I was hoping for $50 shipped for it.

Do you happen to have a video card you're parting out as well? Maybe we could work out a deal for both or something.

I have an ATI Rage 128 16MB card that's in the G4 right now. It's an AGP card. It does actually work with my 24" Dell (1920x1200 resolution). I don't know if I'm going to part that out yet, though, as I'm hoping to get rid of the whole computer as one piece.

It'll be a few days until I part it out, though, I'm still waiting for the new computer parts to all arrive so that I can build it and transfer data over.

Yeah, I already have that card, was looking for an upgrade. Anyway, shoot me a PM when you decide to sell.

I have two ATA cards for use with (at least, in my case) G4 QuickSilver Dual Processor PowerMacs. They are made by ACard and SIIG and are, respectively, a 2 ports x 2ch IDE controller and a 2port x 2ch RAID IDE ATA/133 Controller card. Whatever the fair market value is for them I would sell them to whomever wants them. I ended up going SCSI and so only employed these cards in my setup for about 2 weeks each. Aside from that they've been sitting collecting dust (of course, on the outside of their static bags!).

I have two G4 PowerMac Dual Processor 800Mhz workstations that were both used in a recording studio and so were cared for well. I am thinking that I would like to consolidate and upgrade to most recent technology, and in doing so, think it might be most helpful to others to piece the systems apart and sell the components. If anyone needs parts, let me know...I am not for sure that I wouldn't just sell each one as a functioning system, so if anyone has any compelling reasons one way or the other, I'd like to hear your opinions.
