A few more additions to the gang (570, X22, X30):

Edit: I found a picture of my first ThinkPad (an X21) and my old eMac:

Well.....

I had the pressure marks replaced on my x40 under warranty, and I believe underclocker did as well. Honestly, it probably depends on the rep you get on the phone and how convincing you are.

Lovely example. My first ThinkPad was the exact same setup, right down to the DVD-only UltraBase (*tear*.)

Very tempting...

Of course, even if the CCFL is going, you could send it over to our forum friend jamiphar. You would still have a nice deal, even after paying him to fix it!

Oh, cool! Does he have a 240X as well?

If I had a MacBook Pro, you'd have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands. I don't think I could ditch it for an R61, but to each his own I suppose. Is he looking for more durability?

That's beautiful, PW. Good luck!

Another excellent transaction with dorronto. I bought an X30 from him, and it arrived today packaged very well. Thanks!

For those interested, Ars Technica has an article on the MacBook Air's processor:

I recently sold an X20 to jamiphar. Thanks for a smooth transaction. If only selling were always this easy!

I think I'll stick with GPartEd.

Bump!

Hello boys and girls!

I'm looking for a keyboard for my lovely little X22.

I'll consider anything you throw at me as long as all of the keys and TrackPoint work. PM me if you have something.

Thanks!

I picked up a refurbished Netgear WGT624 at TigerDirect for $24.99 a couple weeks ago:

I currently have it configured as a wireless access point in my WPA encrypted home network. No problems yet.

Poetry. Great find!

I was never able to get my X23 to boot from USB flash drive, and honestly I don't think it can be done unless you can somehow fool the BIOS into thinking the drive is a USB floppy. If you need to install software, as a general rule your best bet is to boot from a USB floppy drive that contains the a...

Taking over the world, probably.

I used to collect all sorts of old Mac stuff, and I actually have System 7.1 on floppy. The QuickTime installer disk has gone south, but I will try to make images of the other floppies and get them on my FTP server. I'll let you know when I get them uploaded.

Nice machine, Ron.

As always, a trusted seller...

I've never used ISO Recorder, so I can't say much about it. I use a program called ImgBurn to make ISOs and burn them, and it works well.

I did think of adjusting the setting that dims the display when running off the battery but I also do like having as much battery life as I can get. Therefore, I shall just live with the dim display for now. Fair enough, but even with the BIOS settings changed, you can still adjust the display brig...

Terrahawk, did you try adjusting the BIOS settings first? I had to on my X21, and it made a world of difference.

Just picked up an X22 (condition 8/10) with wifi, 640MB RAM, and UltraBase with CD-RW/DVD for $90 shipped. I'm feeling pretty good about myself right about now....

carat is abbreviated "ct." iirc

I read kt as carat, but owning a 24 kiloton nuclear-powered ThinkPad would be too awesome for words, and would probably allow you to get many great discounts from Lenovo.

Excellent looking machine! :D There is definately something more special about a machine you build yourself. Very clean looking and osx really is a cool os, especially if you can utiltize it. Mike Thanks, Mike. The system is a pretty nice bargain for the money, I think, and there's definitely room ...

I'm a Taiyo Yuden fan, but if you can't get your hands on TY, Verbatim is very good as well (or so I've read.)

What a great project there Spirit.... I have a question.... I have a desktop system running Vista now. P-4 3.0Ghz,2 gigs ram,rapter hard drives(x3) ATI X1950,nice fast system. Would i be able to just buy the Mac OS system (OS X) and install it on this system as a duel boot with Vista thats on it no...

Pics are here! The current set shows the machine running Mac OS X 10.4.8, but it actually tri-boots Ubuntu and XP. If anyone wants to see, let me know!

Thanks to everyone for their input... this forum is great.

Great setup! Looks very geeky :D I just finished building a tri-boot (OS X/XP/Ubuntu) dual core rig myself, and while there were some obstacles to overcome, the resulting sense of pride is definitely worth it, isn't it? i still cant afford dual core.. here in malaysia C2D proc still in high price t...

White gold would have been better.

Awesome. Where's silver?
