Believe me, I am a colossal Apple fan. The G4 cube is truly gorgeous; however, sometimes you must do what is necessary no matter how gruesome it is.

That made me cringe. Get a vice grip & grab the head of the screw next time, hhhhhmmmmmkay.

Also, did you protect the surrounding area where you created the minute conductive particles from the driver & drillbit?

Why don't you just start using and ADC monitor, and use the built in USB ports on the screen?

[teeangle]

aren't there usb ports on the monitor you have ... and if you are selling it i will buy it ... of course since there is no usb the price would have to be very reduced

[macmastery]

lol i hate it when that happens with the screw

[WillThePlank]

Very good idea with the drill and i dont think a firewire keyboard and mouse exists...mabey your io chip is dead?

You see, we did but the screw was stripped, so it wouldn't work. So we chose the funner option to do.
