This guy is smoking some serious weed asking $999, he is giving no warranty, and has modified it at that. What an asshole, it is like having a vinatge car that you messed with and then give no warranty and ask a price that is absolutely crazy...
I MAKE ABSOLUTELY NO GUARANTEES OUR WARRANTIES ON THIS ITEM!!! NO RETURNS WILL ACCEPTED, AND NO REFUNDS WILL BE ISSUED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! I have the upgrade currently in my old beige G3 desktop, and it boots & runs fine, but some G3 motherboards are better than others, so your results may vary.
Hmmm...
red flag, thing probably overheats, due to a shitty mod, or has damage from prior overheating and that is why he did the mod
Also note: I modified this upgrade a little by attaching fanned heat sinks to each of the processors with thermal cement and soldering the wires for the fans to the back of the power socket (see pics), as opposed to using larger passive heat sinks.
Yeah, that's only a little mod... so he heats up the board and solders to the molex... and if the original heat sinks are passive... what was the molex for ? Was it to power the CPUs ? So let's just tap power off the molex and ignore we are drawing amps for fans with no schematic... I mean looks ok, but you just fucked with something that was engineered by professionals and you "made it better". Don't get me wrong, we all mod things here like crazy, but a CPU upgrade ? Not smart IMO.
Ready for the biggest red flag of all !!!The whole package fits in the cake-box G3 desktop chassis this way (and still fits 66Mhz fsb G3 tower as well). This setup runs around 74 degrees Celsius in my system, which is well below operable limits. Unfortunately, I can't show a full battery of tests or demonstration because I pulled my hard drive years ago & extensions have to be installed to enable the second processor
OK... so this is why you can't test it ? Ask a GRAND $1000 for the thing and you can't pop in a hard drive, load OS 9, and install the extensions, you obviously still have the system, right ? Pretty damn lazy if you ask me. This is the person who whips out the soldering iron, cements on fans, but can't load an OS... whole thing stinks... he will have it in his collection forever.
