Bye Bye iMac

So I decided to move my iMac to my sewing closet room, since it's cooler down there. I'm so disappointed with my iMac :( I thought she will stay with me a little bit longer or maybe forever like my power mac G4. Even tho I don't use it anymore, but it still runs if I hook it up.. just slow..

Anyway, I decided to fix my husband HP Media desktop, it needed power supply unit replaced. So I bought it for only $26 and it's up and running now.

Also, I bought a new 20" monitor too, amazing how cheap a monitor cost these days. HP LCD monitor only for 109 bucks (including shipping) that's amazing.

Now, my iMac still alive in my basement, I only use it when I sew. :D

When I have more money I will buy the power supply for my iMac, i think that's why it's broken.

Coling Fan

Alright, I bought a "Thermaltake Mobile Fan II External USB Cooling Fan" and we shall see whether it will work or not. I simply put the fan behind my iMac G5 and see what will happen, maybe I should turn the computer off by the end of the night too.. so let it cool down and rest.. poor my old iMac :D

The other news on my computer kids..

I bought a power supply unit for my husband's old computer (not really that old) and I managed to replace it and now the computer is reformatting. At least I know it's alive now :).

SO IF this iMac decided the fan won't cure her narcoleptic problem, I will replace her with a PC! did you hear that Ms. iMac G5 I'm so pretty 20" screen!!!! I will replace you with a PC!

Alright that's that.. and an adapter replacement for the macbook pro also coming, so hopefully that one will work with my macbook.

ALL DONE! :D so total I already spent:

Power Supply + cord: $20.98
Cooling Fan: $13.08
Power adapter cord: $17.99
USB Wireless Adapter: $11.69

Total so far: $63,74
for 3 computers :D YAY!

iMac G5 overheating

Alright, so this mac that I have, iMac G5 20" with iSight, my husband bought it in 2005 as my bday/Christmas presents.

I didn't know that the product has some recall a year after (or maybe 6 mos), and I missed that. So now my iMac is narcoleptic, she always fell asleep whenever she wants to. Plus the HD already failed on me 1 time, so I replaced the HD by myself, and I think one of the reason it has the sensor that I removed too..

anyway.. I'm going to see her temperature today and see, what's the end of the day temps are. I already bought a cooling fan.. and see whether it will works or not.

Here's her temp at 10am:
