    I don't have anything to offer, but Newegg has a number of budget ATI cards in your price range.

    Re: 90's iMac

    Exactly the two ideas I'd had. I think I prefer the second. I suppose I could take the old picture tube and place the softened plexiglass on it to get a precise curve. I don't care if I can see a...

    Just double-checked... the connector on Apple's adapter has the exact same connector as the one in the eBay link above. So it looks like it should be easy to use the slot-load CD-ROM in a PC with...

    Re: 90's iMac

    I think it is.. the drive is connected by a similar adapter - small black connector on the device itself to a 50-pin IDE/SCSI ribbon cable. 40 of the pins are regular IDE as 10 of them are...

    Hmm. I think I found something:

    I am pretty sure it's an IDE drive on the inside, as you say, just a funny adapter.

    Re: My Unnamed Theoretical Project

    Nice. I'd like to try a mineral-oil PC sometime as well. Time, space and budget don't permit at the moment, though.

    Good luck, look forward to seeing this come to fruition.

    Re: 90's iMac

    I'm trying to find finished mods online, and they seem to be few and far between. As it stands I only see a couple of problems off the bat:

    I also wouldn't mind trading the P4 CPU for a Socket A motherboard. I'm kinda thinking I want to keep the Athlon... I have a HSF for it already, and I have an old iMac that I may want to use for my...

    90's iMac

    Just got a freebie. It's got to be in the 300 - 450 MHz range, so I'm not sure how useful it will be on its own... but the big CRT inside takes up a lot of room that could be put to better use.
