Polished and cleaned the outside and obtaining parts rn for the #powerMac #g4 MDD #casemod >:3
I had to work out some kind of patch panel situation for the GPU because mounting this thing is fucked up.

Retro Memories : "J'en ai marre du Mac...😡"
C'est ce que j'écrivais en 2000 à propos de mon #PowerMac G3 et de #MacOS 9 // 26 ans plus tard, je fais revivre #MacOSClassic et je redécouvre avec plaisir sa clarté et son look vintage épuré.

A silver Power Mac G4 Mirror Drive Doors tower sits on the left side of a desk next to a black and silver 5:4 Dell LCD monitor. The monitor shows Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger with a web browser open to the SpaceHey website (a modern version of the classic MySpace website) and the “About This Mac” window visible, listing Mac OS X version 10.4.11, a dual 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 processor configuration, and 2 MB of L3 cache per processor. The wallpaper on the desktop is a tiger fur pattern, referencing the operating system codename “Tiger”. In front of the monitor is an Apple keyboard and an Apple mouse on the desk. The setup is in an unfinished basement with exposed wooden framing and pink insulation visible in the background. The lighting is low and warm, provided by a nearby desk lamp out of frame.
This was my first #mac. It’s been a part of my collection for around 13 years now! #vintagemac #oldmac #vintageapple #oldcomputer #powerpc #powerpcmac #powermacg4 #powermac #macosx #macosxtiger #spacehey

I learned to love computers on the family Macintosh IIci, but 'my' first computer was a Performa 6400 (which is identical to the Power Mac 6400 🤷). 200 MHz PPC 603e, 16 Megs of RAM, 2 GB HD, built-in CD-ROM and Zip Drive. The freaking motherboard slid out the back so you could set it on a work […]

System 8.1 Install Process
A friend of a friend gave me their old #PowerMac 8500 with Sonnet G3 upgrade. There was no internal drive so I mounted an internal BlueSCSI.
The plastic is super-brittle. Pretty much any part I touched snapped into pieces. I got things back together again […]

Why would a computer (specifically a #G4 tower) power off when a DVD is put in the drive? I'm trying to figure out what's happening to the power supply in this situation that's causing the behaviour, because it's probably a pretty good clue as to what I did wrong when I rewired it that's also […]

The Mac with it's side door open, showing the fan setup described in the above post.
No idea. Mounted the small rubber shroud for the rear fan from the Quicksilver, as opposed to the plastic shield that holds the fan in the Digital Audio, and I've mounted a 120mm fan on top pointing out, Intel cooler style. I don't honestly think heat is the […]

It is entirely possible that what is actually happening is it's going to sleep, and then failing to wake up (which I think is a side effect of the modded ATX power supply). I've now slid the sleep timer in the Energy Saver panel to Never, but I'm too dumb and impatient to wait and see if this […]

IT WORKED.
I did film the moment of truth, but all that happened was the same thing as before, the power button lit up for as long as I held it down with my finger. So I stopped filming, and then several seconds later, I heard what sounds like a fairly whiny […]

Was about to test the newly modified ATX PSU in my Quicksilver G4... before I realized it was missing the CMOS battery (I forgot what Apple calls this, but it's the 1/2 AA battery that lives on the mobo... whatever). Why I bought a new battery for it, then realized the PSU was going to need […]

Photo of 22-pin ATX connector. A red and orange wire have been crimped together and inserted into the same pin.
Okay I'm in a little over my head. If somebody who knows more about electriconics/power supplies could help clear up my confusion, it would be very much appreciated!
I'm following the atxg4.com guide to modify an ATX power supply to work in my PowerMac G4 […]

I just opened this PowerMac 7200 for removing the battery. No leakage, fortunately. It worked the last time I turned it on (ten years ago), but I lost my VGA converter, and I forgot completely where the mouse and keyboard are. #retro #powermac

El 19 de junio de 1995 Apple lanza el Power Macintosh 9500, un Mac de alta gama que cuenta con un chip PowerPC de segunda generación que es mucho más rápido que su predecesor. Fue la Mac con más puertos de expansión hasta la fecha #retrocomputingmx #apple #PowerMac

Three vintage Apple Power Mac G4 towers are lined up side by side on a light wood-style vinyl floor. They are positioned near a desk with exposed computer cables underneath, and unfinished pink fiberglass insulation on the wall behind them. From left to right, the first machine is a Power Mac G4 Graphite model, featuring a translucent smoky gray front panel with vertical ribbing, a tray-loading optical drive, a circular speaker grille, and a white Apple logo near the top. A white asset sticker from an electronics recycler is affixed to the front. Next is the Power Mac G4 Quicksilver, which has a sleeker, metallic silver faceplate with rounded edges. The front panel includes two optical drive bays and a circular speaker port. It also has a white asset label on the front from the same recycler. The third tower is the Power Mac G4 MDD (Mirrored Drive Doors), distinguished by its mirrored drive bay cover, silver circular power button, and four small vertical ventilation slots near the bottom of the front panel. It does not have a recycler label on the front, as it has been in my collection since 2012. All three systems share the iconic translucent polycarbonate handles and curvy aesthetic characteristic of early 2000s Apple hardware.
Look what followed me home today! The two #powermacg4 systems on the left, I found for cheap, and compliment the MDD (on the right) I’ve had since 2012! #powermac #retrocomputer #oldcomputer #vintageapple #retromac #vintagemac #macos9 #2000snostalgia #powerpc #powerpcg4 #powermacintosh #powerpcmac

I got a stack of old #mac software for my #powermac #g4. I might pull out my dusty #imac & reload it with #osxleopard then just use it as a media server.

Some sales photos of the Edmark TouchWindow, a peripheral for PowerPC Macs that turned the monitor into a touch screen. It's mounted on the front of the monitor and would be plugged into the ADB port your mouse would normally be plugged into.
guess who got a weird new power mac peripheral??
if you guessed shōko, youre right!!
