I have a spare dual 533 G4 out of a DA, because I gave up on the poor little mac

The Dual CPU is a aftermarket upgrade. I flashed my my ATI Radeon 7000 AGP. I even found a easy we to flash it on a PC with out needing a PCI videocard. I'll add the howto to the guide im working on. The only thing I don't really like about my 7000 AGP is that it only has 32MB of vram but my 7000 PCI has 64MB vram. Although the AGP runs faster in FrontRow. Now I have to wait for my blue LEDs to come in and my 4 pole dip switch so I can overclock the CPU. I still need to find out what socket size water block to buy. I tryed making my custom water block but my drill press can't hack though all of that copper. I went though 3 bits for 2 holes.

Well more parts have came in for my modding enjoyment. I have gotten my bright blue LEDs and I do mean bright lol. Also I got my 4 pole dipswitch to overclock the BUS.



Edit:

I have built my litle rig for the LEDs and killed my DVD+RW drive from a bad LED connection for replacing the standard green LED to a blue one. I have the LED n the HD and now trying to find a way to splice into my ethernet so it can blink when i'm reciving packets. Also I replaced the green power LED with a Blue LED. I have taken a lot of pics and i'll post them in the guide. Also I have started to see why the guy I bought this system from sold it at a cheap price. It takes a while to kick on. I had to end up using my keyboard from my iMac to turn on the system.

I have also installed the dip switch and now my BUS is at 120MHz and the CPU is at 480MHz. I added two small 5v fans to the heatsink for until I get my water cooling stuff.

Can anyone give me a idea for splicing into the built-in ethernet so I can have a LED access blink for reciving? I have only done this in the past with add-in cards and just splicing into the LED on the card.

is there a reason why you don't want to do that again?

Most Macs don't have LEDs on their built in ethernet.

That's very true. I was thinking a cheap one on ebay, but for some of us PCI slots are something we have too little of.

I can toss in a Realtek nic easyly but I want to try and leave as much space as I can for the water cooling. Then again I can go ahead and toss one in since the nic is 1 and a half inches high so when I add the water cooling to the video it will still have room for the tubing.
