Those ones are pretty expensive, seen the 21'' go for £400, I bought four on ebay for £150, sold them for £350, top jew.
>>51668562
I owned this piece of shit because it looked so cool. Had the 32x too.

I want one of these with the guts of an i7 2013 Macbook Air, and the same display resolution as the resolution of that picture. I need 2013 because of muh OS X 10.9. If it was newer, I'd probably have to dual-boot El Craparse with Fedora 23 (Plasma 5).
Connection Machine. Pic related is the CM-2, my favorite.
I saw one in operation at a museum once. The lights are pretty.
>>51670383
I would kill for these
>>51671078
When I actually get around to buying the display I'll be upgrading mine to 1400x1050, it's keeping the PowerPC guts though

Did you, by chance, see this at the Computer History Museum in California? I've seen one there, as well as a replica of the Analytical Engine, the Hollerith machine, and a slew of really good old workstations and Lisp machines. They also had large chunks of too many mainframes to list, some of which looked more like creepy factory machines than computers (almost fictional-looking, giant, red warning lamps.) Also, some old lady at the museum mentioned Richard Stallman briefly, which was interesting just because you never hear his name.
>>51671186
It was in California. I don't remember the name of the museum. I was about 10 years old at the time.
That's probably the one, though, since the whole museum was about computer history.
just got one of these, keyboard is amazing to use.

no
>>51671270
I have one of these, and I think one of the keys, P or something I think, doesn't work anymore. It's pretty worn out, but not scratched or broken. Also, mine needs a fucking PCMCIA card for Ethernet, and I can't get any OS from the past decade to work on it yet.
>>51671214
It probably was. They've also got some Cray supercomputers, but none working with the coolant still in their spaghettifucks of wires. I wonder what crazy company had to handle the disposal of the coolant in such computers. It was probably at least as nasty as the stuff they use to manufacture solar panels. They also had the Thinkpad with the butterfly keyboard, and the first Powerbook model and dock. Two very groundbreaking pieces out of laptop history.
I have a fetish for nice rear panels.

This is actually possible? Does it work better than upgrading the displays on other laptops from that era, due to the inclusion of OpenFirmware?

The 12" model (last for sure, don't know about earlier in the line's life) is compatible with X61t displays, so you can just pick up the SXGA+ panel and swap them out, I think you have to remove the digitzer though

>>51671099

>>51672089
That's interesting. The X61t's standard display (Boe Hydis model ending in 101) is one that contains a fuckton of bubbly, nasty adhesives, though. The SXGA+ of the X60t (which is what my X61t had in it when I got it, surprisingly) is a bit dimmer when it's got the glass over it, but it doesn't have defects like that. Is there some method to get all the crap off of the X61t one when doing a swap like this? I've heard of people soldering adaptors and implanting them to regular X61 laptops.

Now that you mention it, the circulatory system and nervous system are a lot like that.
I'm a fan of those flower shaped zalman heatsink fans, particularly the full copper one. I wish they had a larger model.

Cripes. I would do this in a heartbeat if PPC had a longer support life. I'm not a fan of Leopard, which makes my iMac G4 run like shit.
>>51672632
Leopard and Tiger both run great on my 1.5GHz G4, I mainly use it with OpenBSD now and that of course runs great as well.

I remember when the gtx460 came out in 2010. People would act like it's the second coming of jesus when they were put in sli. The 480 ran almost as hot as a modern AMD card.

The Radeon 5850.
I specifically got the 5850 instead of the 5870 because it had the power connectors on the back, and not on the side - and went for one with the stock cooler, just so I can have that full sized batmobile plate.
I plan to use my old lego kits to build an actual batmobile out of it, some day.

>>51678019
Those 4 ethernet ports supported link aggregation, too.
Target use was probably workstations, much like Asus' newer WS motherboards.
As for the 0 video, this was back in Core 2 days, motherboards generally didn't have onboard video, and those that did were often terrible.

not just looks either. it functions great.
