Hi, I'd like to present my mods.

I bought a used Quicksilver 2002 800Mhz last year. I like the G4's because they are very fast, and there are many upgrades available. I was satisfied with it. But about a year later I began to mod my machine.



First I bought some new stuff like a new CPU, etc...

Specs:

Dual 1.2Ghz Giga-Designs 2MB L3 Cache per CPU
120GB HD (80GB+40GB)
512MB RAM (I still need more.)

Now the case mod...

First I bought 1 CCFL blue and 1 CCFL green and installed them on the bottom of the Powermac.

Then I decided to cut a blowhole on top of the Computer and stuck in a Revoltec 80mm Cooler Blue and of course a stylish fan grill.

Now the computer looked great...but there was still something missing.

I then added LED’s in the handles (3mm LED 9800mcd) and one LED behind the Apple logo.

Now my mod is finally finished, and I am extremely satisfied about the results. A unique case.

Now to my second mod...


I bought a used Power Mac G3 for $50.

In the beginning I wanted to paint it another color, like a sky-blue or something.

Finally I chose red, a very bright and cool red.

First I primered all plastic-parts with one coat.

Then the second day I painted all parts in red. I didn't use any further sprays.

Now I have two very unique Power Macs. I hope you enjoyed my two Mac Mods from Switzerland.
