Okay, so a couple of years ago I got real excited about case mods to my iBook and bought a bunch of excess parts on eBay. Bad idea. My motivation (and time, thanks to college) vanished and so I recently found my box of iBook parts in the closet. Does anyone have any use for them? Aside from making some very nerdy picture frames I'm not sure what I can use them for. Any ideas? Or does anyone need any iBook parts for mods?

They're from the dual-USB G3 iBooks (not the old clams).

Acutally, I do have a bunch of parts from a clamshell, too. It had an unforunate run-in with a staircase a few years ago and the screen doesn't work anymore...

Which model/color is your clamshell with the broken screen? I might be able to help lighten your load.

i'd be glad to take them and use them to mod my ibook g4... I don't think i could give you anything except shipping - but I'd make something damn cool out of them

Well, I think I'd go through the eBay thing and try and scrounge a few bucks out of them first. I checked out your blog, though, and I dig some of those hacks.
