LOR Staff Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I just received 3 different Macs from someone. 1 is so old I'm not even going to try to turn it on. Another is a 400mhz Power Mac G4 that I still have to hook up.The 'jewel' as it were is an iMac G5. This is the one from around 2005 that had the infamous bad capacitor problems. Sure enough, this one did too - most of the caps on the low voltage side of the PS hand blown....an old ATX power supply, a pin puller, some Velcro and an hour's time fired that baby right back up again. Who needs to give Apple $120 for a power supply!From what I can tell from what is on the drive, she died Nov 22, 2009. But what good is it to me? Other than the design software on this thing (looks like a lot of Adobe high-end stuff - the guy was a graphics designer), is there anything else interesting I can do with this hunk of machine?First person who says 'Make an S3 version for Macs' will be shot.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Send it to your competitor and tell them that's the latest controller L.O.R. has developed.Make sure you take the electronics out of the original case, then put them in a L.O.R. controller box {hopefully they'll fit}, then have them go insane reverse engineering it trying to figure out how it works!:cool: R.O.F.L.M.A.O.
