Yeah ....the dremel junkie mod.... nod.gif i did look at it in the past, as i have a semi faulty g4 hanging around in my room, staring at me everyday ! As soon as i saw the dremel junkie mod, it caused a rage in my blood to attempt the hack, but time, the most crucial essence of a mod....was lacking. As i did not wish to simply dimantle the g4 and leave it halfway, decided to not to engage it for the moment.

Have u tried the mod ?

I guess the most difficult part on thae kinda mod ....will be the connecting of the display to the mobo which will be planted in it .

Your g3 still funtions ? If it does.... Then, kinda sorry for the g3 on being put to the death row while its still kicking sad.gif
