I traded for a busted iBook 14″ 1.25 Ghz G4. My first apple PC was an 800 Mhz 12″ iBook G4, so it’s fun to come nearly full circle back to the iBook G4 family. This iBook suffers from the infamous logic board problem whereby putting pressure on the case allows the computer to work.
My plans for it involve replacing the HD with a solid state disk based on the CF to IDE adapters out there. Then, cobbling some parts off of eBay, replacing the logic board and CD drive with a super drive (that is, if my auction completes).
After that, who knows. The solid state disk limits the iBook to being more of a net book than a serious computer. Then again, so does the 1.25Ghz G4. I’ve wanted to build a solid state pc for a while too so it might as well be this project. If I can’t find a good use for it, most likely it’ll end up someone’s christmas present this year.
