    Stereo Speakers and Internal Bluetooth - iBook G3 Clamshell?

    Hello! I just recently purchased an iBook G3 Clamshell 366Mhz, which I intend to upgrade with a DVD-ROM, 512MB of RAM, a 128GB mSATA SSD, a new battery, and possibly an XGA screen if I can find the cable part (if anyone has one that they would be willing to sell, lmk!) However, I am aware of...

    Simple iMac G4 monitor build

    This is a re-post from Reddit, as I didn't like using their forum options (plus, I just wanted a good excuse to this this screen for a bit)... Anyone else think that the iMac G4 was the best looking desktop of all time? My iMac G4 20-in's PSU went about 2 years ago, just after I installed an...

    How to Add Your Own Custom Arial Screensavers & Wallpapers (macOS 14 Sonoma+)

    Hi everyone. I didn't see a direct how-to on this, so I thought I'd make one. Also, feel free to share your custom ones. Arial screensaver / wallpaper file Info: Use videos files, must be MOV format (you can rename most MP4s to MOV. If it doesn't work, use Quicktime or Handbrake to re-encode...

    How do I remove the AC inlet from an iMac 2017 (21.5")?

    Hi! This is related to my last thread "iMac 2017 (A1418) converted to monitor, need help with cable management". So, in short, I'm converting my iMac 2017 21.5" into a monitor and I need a hole to pass some cables through it. It makes no sense to drill a new hole and the most logical hole is...

    Price Advice Macintosh 128k mod?

    Hi all I‘m new from the Forum and from classic macintosh. I found this one that should be a 128k, but there are some things that I can‘t explain, like the extra hole in the back (looks like a very clean cut, well done or factory?) what’s for? it has an internal storage but still boots from the...

    After bubbled MBP Screen, replaced with Mod PB G4

    After suffering from the bubbled & snowflaked LCD Screen, I found someone who can replace it with hi-res version. Since the logicboard of my previous 1,5ghz only recognized 1 slot of RAM (a problem which Apple also admitted) I upgraded my logicboard as well. Then, when I paid and my PB is...

    Any Success Removing the Matte Film from Apple Cinema HD Displays?

    I have an A1082 23" Apple Cinema HD Display. It is my understanding that there are no such thing as 'matte screens', just glossy screens that either have or have not had a matte film adhered onto them. There are numerous success stories of people using listerine (and similar) to break down the...

    iMac removable screen - 2012-2020 hardware mod

    I miss the iMacs of 2009-2011. Despite their high GPU failure rates they were easy to get in to and upgrade. Specifically upgrading hard drives with SSDs. It is not an impossible task with 2012-2020 iMacs, but its sort of a one-and-done thing. You can really only remove and replace the adhesive...

    Any definitive method to vrm modding the old 16" i9? bad results for old timers?

    Bought a 2.3ghz i9 2019 mbp for legacy purposes like old x86 plugins for logic that will probably never be updated, maybe it was a dumb idea, but it's done. Anyway, since this forum seems to be the birthplace of that mod, I've read many 2019-2020ish ideas about the mod, where to place, how...

    TL;DR: Remove the main outer plastic shell of the Zotac Trinity RTX 3090 and it will fit in the 2019 Mac Pro 7,1 My Mac Pro recently came in and sure enough, it seems like almost every RTX 3090 out there is too big. I'm really more of a data science type, so I got 2x Zotac Trinity RTX 3090's...

    macSO Music application "Filter Field" feature

    I was so happy to discover the Command-F "Show Filter Field" option works in the same way the old Find/Search box did in iTunes. This is the main way I look for music in my library, and it really annoyed me how the behaviour of the main Find/Search box has been changed in Music. Has anyone come...

    Hot Macbook Pro : this is not a drill

    Hi, I run a MacBook Pro (15-inch Unibody, Mid 2012, 2.6GHz Core i7, 16GB, SSD, GT 650M 1GB) on an external 1080p display. The computer runs quite hot while doing light tasks like watching 1080p 60fps youtube video. I like it silent and the fans' noise bother me. I have always taken great care...

    Dual Nvidia GPU Mac Pro Mod

    With no other viable options at the time, I made the following upgrades to a 2010 Mac Pro (5,1) about two years ago - primarily for rendering with VRay. VRay uses CUDA, so the AMD GPUs of the trashcan Mac were of little use and adding Thunderbolt chassis for external GPUs would have just added...
