As for the unused usb port and bluetooth, yes, it can be done. I modded an 867 Ti with a usb hub with bluetooth 3.0 and wifi N and yes, it does read in 10.4.11 just fine. sure, they are usb 1.1 spec, but both dongles get 500ma per device and they both connect and run just fine. As for fitting them into the laptop, i took out the old airport connector and the PCMCIA assemble, and they have lots of room. Taped down and electrical tape on the bottom cover to prevent electrical short. *edit* proof it can be done http://www.macbidouille.com/news/2004/09...-powerbook-g4-ti-bluetooth-inside

The memory heatsink is on the reverse of the logicboard. If you pull out the logicboard, then flip it over, you will notice a very long heatsink. It will be connected to the logicboard via plastic clips and/or a few screws and bolts. When these are taken off, then you can replace the thermal compound as i did in mine. it should drop the temperature by 10 degrees celcius (in mine it did).

Please check your processors, logicboard and power supply first to make sure the leaking didn't affect those parts. To do so, there are steps on this site that will show you how to take these parts out and then check them to see if there is any corrosion. If there is, you will have to replace those parts that have been affected. If all is good and no parts have leaked, then you take out the LCS unit with the processors as a whole. Unscrew the 8 logicboard/LCS secure screws. Pull out the LCS unit. Then you remove the processors from the LCS unit itself by removing the 12 - #1 Philip head screws and the 8 Allen head screws securing the processor to the LCS unit. Then carefully lift the processors from the LCS and set them on a static free surface. Then you will want to clear off the old thermal paste with afterwards clean with rubbing alcohol to make sure the surface is really clean. Don't worry about taking off the single heatpipe that is on the rear of the processor, this will not stick past the original...

There is a PCMCIA (PC Cardbus) that is 802.11n compliant. Yes, it fits in the cardbus slot on PowerBook G4's and it's available at OWC. You have to make sure that you either disable the internal wireless card or take it out. You can't run both at the same time.
