Information
- G4 (AGP/Sawtooth) to ATX case Conversion - One of the earlier G4 to PC case conversions. Utilizes a 'Sawtooth' motherboard.
- Build Your Own G4 - Another walkthrough buildout of a G4, this time 'Gigabit' based.
- iTuned - Gigabit, Digital Audio, and Quicksilver mobo's use a slightly different front panel setup.
- Network Appliance IDE activity LED - PC cases have IDE LEDs, why waste it just because the G4 doesn't support it out of the box?
- ZapWizard - Similar IDE mod, done at the cable.
- MDD power supply hackery - Using a 'Mirror Drive Door' power supply in a lab enviroment.
- GF2MX Flashing - Flashing PC GeForce 2 MX's for use on a Mac.
- GF3 Flashing - Flashing PC GeForce 3's for use on a Mac.
- Apple Service Source for the G4 - Apple's docs for service centers performing warranty work on G4 desktops. Covers the first 4 'edditions' of the G4, 'Yikes' through 'Digital Audio'. Unfortunately Apple doesn't include handy details like pinouts, etc but it does cover generally what goes where and how to differentiate amongst the models.
- Low End Mac - Don't let the name fool you, they have info on all the G4s. In fact, 90% of the info in here is based on info gathered by LEM.
- MacFixItForums - Good forum with high activity and excelent signal to noise ratio.
- MacNN Forum - One of the few forums where you don't need to don an asbestos suit before saying "So I'm using my Mac and..."
Parts
- CoreComputers - PC Cases prefitted to accept 'Gigabit' internals. Sometimes they have other appropriate bits as well.
- Ebay - Just about everything you need can be found here. Just be sure to shop around a bit and make sure you know EXACTLY what parts you want.
- Apple - Just don't TELL them what it's going into when you buy parts. It's Apple internals, it'll work.
- Other World Computing - Good place to shop for CPUs, RAM, known Mac compatible add-ons, etc.
