[QUOTE="AutoMattOn, post: 209722"] found a pretty complete manual [URL=http://www.repairyourmac.com/PowerMac_G3_Blue_White.pdf]here[/URL] fixed the fan problem with a bodged - er i mean modded - molex/fan extension cable. also improved the PSU situation by using the spliced wiring from [URL=http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/ATX_G4_AGP_conversion/G4_AGP_to_ATX_case_pg2.htm#next]here[/URL] which seems to make things more spec-compliant than just cutting the cables. also noticed that the caps-lock key on the USB keyboard flashes when it's powered up. have tried 3 different AGP monitors with no joy. also tried all the different reset procedures, like popping the battery out for 10 mins etc. stoopid question: will any AGP card work or do they have to be special Mac-compliant/certified ones? Thnx again M@ [/QUOTE]
