[QUOTE="Ray, post: 20934"] I have an iBook original. And before you roll your eyes at me, let me tell you how I love it. I take it everywhere, I surf wireless networks wherever I go, and I use it as a work/entertainment machine. When I purchased it off of eBay a while back, I paid $400 for it. Although it was incorrectly advertised as a 366 (and it was really a 300) I have still given it the love and respect it deserves. Now onto the question ... From what I understand, no other motherboard would fit natively into this model. The iBook SE has a firewire port where there is no hole on this model. I have heard that you can get yourself a dremel tool, and correct that problem by creating yourself a hole. Although, I can't find anyone who has actually DONE it. Can anyone confirm that this would work? I have been waiting for a deal to surface on eBay, but I have cold feet. Ideally, I would like to put something much greater into this iBook. Perhaps something along the lines of a 466. I know for a fact, that a 466 motherboard will not ever fit into an iBook model one. But ... would it be possible to use the same display from my iBook, and attach it to the bottom of a 466? In other words, if I got a 466 with a damaged screen (or no upper half at all), would these two go together? Again, I am looking for real answers here. :-) "That might work", or "you can try that" are words I have heard before. Has anyone been successful in such an operation? I appreciate any responses I might get! Thanks! -Ray Haque ray AT gloop.net [/QUOTE]
