I know it can hook up to an external monitor, but can you used it closed lid like the powerbook 12?

Is it a setting in the OS X or does the harddrive either do it or not?

I assume if I closed the lid, hooked up an external moniotr, an exsternal mouse and keyboard it would work.

youre right, mine works with my usb mouse and keybord attached. 700mhz/14"/16vram.

if not try this. NoSleep 3 get the most recent one. this allows you to turn off the software switch that puts the comp to sleep when you close it

i had nosleep work perfectly for me while i was running 10.2.6, but once i upgraded to 10.2.8 it didnt wanna work ne more. i have heard of other people with this hack running with jaguar.8
