<title>NeXTStation Teardown</title>
<description><![CDATA[NeXT Computer was founded in 1989 by Steve Jobs when he was forced out of Apple by John Scully.  He started NeXT as a high-end computer company targeted at the University/Scientist/Computing Industry.  NeXT only ever released two major computers, the NeXTStation, and The NeXTCube, in different variations. NeXT computers were high-end workstation computers, and only a few thousand were ever sold.  The NeXTStation featured a 25Mhz Motorola 68040 CPU, though the Turbo NeXTStation featured a 33Mhz 68040.  There were color and non-color variations of the NeXTStation.  The world's first web server was created by Tim Berners-Lee, at CERN on a NeXTCube.  NeXT computers were used to make games like Doom, and Wolfenstein.  This is my 25Mhz B&amp;amp;W NeXTStation.  Mac OS X Is based off of NeXTStep, the NeXT OS.]]></description>

<title>Powermac G3 Blue And White Teardown</title>
<description><![CDATA[The Powermac G3, apple's G3 Powerhouse. This computer Introduced the design that stuck until the powermac G5, but this computer started the &amp;quot;Handle's&amp;quot; Trend, every powermac G3, G4, G5, and Mac Pro now has handles.  This computer boasted a 350Mhz, 400Mhz, and 450Mhz PowerPC G3 CPU.  This cpu is incredibly easy to overclock, due to it's &amp;quot;clock-config&amp;quot; jumper convienlently located next to the CPU(though i don't encourage overclocking).  This computer had blue plastic, resembelent of the iMac G3's and the iBook G3 Clamshells.    It would have been great if Apple had made this is other colors, like the imac,  a lime green Powermac G3 would rock!]]></description>

<title>Apple 17&quot; ADC Studio Display Teardown</title>
<description><![CDATA[The Apple 17&amp;quot; ADC Studio Display, one of the best looking displays Apple has ever produced.  This Display was designed to match the clear acrylic aesthetic qualities of G4-based Macs, so much that Apple made it so that it would only work on Powermac G4's And Early G5's and to use it on a PC or ibook or powerbook you need a $110 ADC to DVI Adaptor available only from apple.  This display does have numerous technical issues though.  The backlight inverters tend to fail, and one of the diodes on the LDC panel has been known to fail under certian operating enviroments.  Even though, this display looks great, and has crystal clear images and came in 15&amp;quot;, 17&amp;quot; and a whooping 23&amp;quot; this display is great because of the ADC connector, it carries power, signal, and USB to the display so there is less cable clutter, this is reminicant of NeXT Workstation MegaPixel Displays. And, for those of you wondering, ADC stands for Apple Display Connector, Apple and their proprietary connectors...]]></description>

<title>Powermac G4 Cube Teardown</title>
<description><![CDATA[The Infamous Powermac G4 Cube, apple's origional failed attempt at a compact G4-Based Macintosh. Released in 2000 at a cost of $1599, the cube was considered too expensive, and too slow. The Cube Unlike many other computer's uses passive cooling, where there is no fan.  This was a big mistake on apple's part, because G4 processors run very hot!

The Cube boasted a 450MHz or 500Mhz G4 CPU, not very fast, back then, thay had 1Ghz Pentium III's The cube is virtually silent, except for the origional 5400 RPM Hard drives, After one year of production, Apple put the cube &amp;quot;On Ice.&amp;quot; The Cube is also a popular candidate for macquariums, it also has an internal fan hookup, but it isn't used by apple, if you want, you can buy a fan, and connect it to the 12V 2-Pin connector, and find somewhere to put it in the cube, this is a popular mod to cool overheating cubes.

It was replaced by the Mac Mini in 2005, 5 years later.  At a later time, I will re-post this as a repair guide.]]></description>

<title>Nerf N-Strike Maverick Teardown</title>
<description><![CDATA[It got too dangerous. Shots were fired. Eyes were almost lost. It was time to downgrade.

One of our iFixit programmers was notorious for using his Nerf WMD randomly on co-workers, with no forewarning nor regard for their safety. On one of these occasions, said co-worker shot me in the eye with one of the darts. Thankfully I was wearing my glasses, and a full-on beatdown was avoided.

In retaliation I brought my never-used soft air handgun from home. We had a couple of laughs, a couple of stings, but it was largely fine up until one day, when I was aiming for the co-worker's arm and shot him in the neck instead.

I was quite disappointed by the lack of accuracy, and thought it hypocritical of me to compromise others' safety, when my own was so crucial to me. So I authorized a purchase of up to TEN DOLLARS with The Wife, and set out to find the best Nerf gun available.

This is it: The Nerf N-Strike Maverick.

Needless to say, the gun looks goofy and child-like in its original paint scheme. We all know that yellow is the color of cowards, so I decided to paint my new office weapon. I was also curious as to what was inside, and lazy (I  wanted to paint both sides at the same time), so I torn'd this sucker down and took some pictures!

Enjoy!]]></description>
