  Found one of these Lacie FM radio modules on eBay. Always wanted one back in the day… one more bit of mischief my old Power Computing clone can get up to now… and check out the box it arrived in 🙂

  #marchintosh I’ve had this PowerMac G4 MDD on the shelf for years. Came to me with a blown power supply that I removed today along with loads of dust and dirt. A late Marchintosh project - going to attempt a janky install of an ATX power supply after I found an adapter cable for sale on eBay. If you look closely in the shiny drive doors, you can see the old stripped G5 case I use as a bookshelf. 😀

  #Marchintosh A late Marchintosh win tonight. Using the adapter cable I purchased recently, I managed to successfully install an ATX power supply in a PowerMac G4 MDD that has been lying dormant on my shelf for years. I had to pull the optical drive cage, so I needed the assistance of an external QueFire FireWire CDRW drive to install OS X Tiger. It’s janky in there (boy is it ever!) but this is very much proof of concept for me. Much to be done… especially replacing the noisy main fan.

  It’s been fun to watch all of the interesting Macintosh projects and shenanigans during #Marchintosh. Thanks for a great month everyone!

  My #Marchintosh PowerMac G4 MDD is done for now. I’ve dubbed it “The Bionic Mac”. Now sports an ATX power supply, a hacked-in Radeon 9600 from a G5, SSD connected to PCI SATA, USB 2.0, and a new, quiet, pleasingly blue main fan.
