They are both the white 17" models. I have a newer 27" one at work and I never used a white iMac before. They actually look pretty decent in person although I like my newer model better.

Great deal, coming up in the world. grin

Here's a hacked plug-in for PPC machines for sites that insist on Flash 11, it fakes them into thinking 10 is 11.

Thanks. It is easy to forget that PPCs are what, at least 6-7 years old. The fact that my 2000 QuickSilver is still running 24/7 with only one hard drive failure during this time is amazing.

The final test piece is in place.

I had an extra LG 32" LCD TV that ended up fitting just right. Tonight and the next couple of days will be a great test as it will be around zero each night with the room probably getting down to 40 or so with the heat off.

I ran Tech Tool Pro 6 on both the Intel and G5 iMac. The hard drives were the same size.

It was amazing to note that the G5 took close to twice the time to finish the same entire test (hard drive test taking the longest).

The processor/logic board speed was the difference, they are both 1.5Gps SATA HD bus speeds so it wasn't the HD speed.

BTW 40 degrees isn't too bad, they are rated at somewhere around 50-55 probably. I thought it may get to freezing or below.

Well, I guess I should state it will get to 40 degrees if I do not skip an exercise day...then it would get much colder. My barn workshop with the G5 iMac is probably about 30 degrees right now with it being 5 right now. I would say if I skip today, it would be in the high 20s to lower 30s the next day.

I have to say, I am enjoying having an up-to-date iMac and all of the network benefits. I have the Intel one using Time Machine via my network and I can even use the iSight camera via Remote Desktop to make sure I turned the lights out or whatever.

.

You seem so talented with stuff, etc., any chance you could do some do it yourself things that capture heat/electricity from the sun to keep the buildings from getting to sub zero temps? wink I mean, not to get the buildings to 68 degs but to take the chill off?

Both my fitness room and work shop are in larger, uninsulated outbuildings. I do have windows with storm windows in the rooms but that is about it. I am all electric where I am which is fine but it limits me to my heat sources unless I want to spend lots if money.

It is not all that bad to get the rooms up to 50 degrees. I have both the heaters on remotes so I can turn on the heat an hour or so before it is needed from my house. 50 degrees seems to be comfortable to either exercise or work. Today, with it being under 10 degrees, it took only about an hour to have it over 50 degrees and then I was able to turn the heat off.

I have nine zones of heat in my house that are controlled separately. It is pretty nice this time of year as I only heat the areas I need in the morning and evenings. Not too bad for an old farm house!
