I've got a box of 12" Powerbooks taken apart. I warranty at least ONE full Powerbook works, at best you might get four full working PBs.

There is a 867mhz board, 1ghz board, 1.33ghz board, 1.5ghz board (there might be two of these, I cannot remember).

There are at least four working screens.

Some memory, though not a lot.

Correct trackpads.

Screws random and galore.

Yours for the cost of shipping the whole thing.

I also have a box of various iBook g3 and G4 parts, one 14" G3 and I think I have that logic board but can't remember. Mostly 12" G4 parts.

If you want that box, same deal.

How much would shipping be for that? (California).

Well, I did just bought one, but am now looking for(at a minimum) a replacement screen and would also like to put together at least one more!

I need something to do over Christmas break :)

Why, if only we could work on this together! Sounds like a painstaking-yet-fun project.

I suppose I'll work on the Hackintosh with my brother :)
 
I just wanted to let everyone know that I am enormously thankful to member California.

All told, three boxes were sent my way, the largest of which I haven't even had a chance to go through completely yet.

So far, I've been able to:

1. Completely assemble and get working a 1.33ghz 12" iBook G4

2. Replace the badly chipped top case on my A1138 Powerbook

3. Replace the CD-ROM drive in my Xserve with a Superdrive out of a Powerbook.

I also have another 12" iBook G4(bought separately) that is in need of a new keyboard or at least a few keycaps, and am sure that I can take care of that.

I'm excited to get into the Powerbooks and see what I'm able to make of them. I've been avoiding having to take a 12" PB completely apart, but this will be a great opportunity to put together(hopefully) a couple of working ones from parts and learn the ins and outs of putting them together.

There were several "extras" thrown in too that I wasn't expecting, including a couple of loose, good batteries, a few chargers(including one brand new one) and a SATA Optibay that will fit a Powerbook.

Thank you again to California!
