I think some 2000s design language can be successfully incorporated into the devices of today, recently learned about the Ironside Y2K PC case and it doesn’t look outdated to me.
@@TiggerLyOneThe Mac Pro that directly followed this computer is not futuristic if it hails from the late 2000s, computers have changed so little since then. Minimalism in gray scale colors is the new beige, even if it's not hideous like beige. Makes me miss the more colorful and adventurous designs of the earlier 2000s and the decades that lead up to them. I'd like for designers to channel that spirit again and leave the parts that were ugly behind.
I still prefer, in some ways, the QuickSilver model as they were slightly less noisy, and they looked a bit more minimalistic design-wise vs. the MDD. I have a few of these in various states of repair. One of my systems has a label on it that suggested that it was maxed out at purchase time - 2GB RAM, ti4200 4x120GB drives and a superdrive. Although none of the original drives, and only some of the original RAM was left, the Ti4200 was still present. The system you have is fortunately the FW400 model which still natively supports Mac OS 9, and is the last and one of the fastest ways to run the old OS.
I had four of these versions, the Dual 1.25 GHZ model and held onto them till 2011. I absolutely loved this model, and it was incredibly powerful and a stunning design. When I worked as a graphic designer, this is all we had in our studio at the time and it was amazing. I ended scoring a few and used them as an XBMC/Kodi Server, a Network Renderer, Fileshare Server, and then one for my home music studio as I had a lot of Firewire interfaces. My second favorite was the PowerMac G5 which was stunningly designed and so compatible with a lot of hardware out there. This is when I loved Apple; when they still innovated and lead with not only beautifully designed machines outside, but also inside.
I bought this computer my freshman year in college and the bookstore computer employees were so excited to see one show up that they helped me carry it to my dorm. It was an amazing (but loud) computer.
His talking style often leads me to believe he just isn't capable of having emotions until he adds silly little bits like the G4 promo vid at the end lol I loved it
It's definitely worth displaying in your collection 😊 I had the 1.25 dual running 2Gb of RAM. Stunning machine at the time (still is 😅). I used to call it 'my wife' and stroke it lovingly to my girlfriend's displeasure 😂😂. I married her in the end to stop her complaining 🤣🤣, and yes, we're still married. Thanks for the memories mate 👍

The drawbridge-PowerMac G3/G4 case design was an absolute classic - very aesthetically pleasing but also so simple,and easy to access and upgrade. Another era. I owned and used various versions between 2000 until about 2016 when I sold my last ProTools rig that still ran like a dream. Was just a shame that the G5’s thermals were never going to work in that neat, compact case. I remember getting my Dual G5/2GHz in 2003 and being shocked at the size of the tower. Mind you, for AU$7000 at the time, at least you were getting a ‘lot’ of computer 😂
About 15 years ago I owned an MDD PowerMac G4 that had the dual 1.42 GHz CPU, but it had been overclocked to 1.5 GHz by the previous owner. It was an absolute beast of a computer even after the first Intel machines came out. Used it all the way into 2011 when I retired it for a 15" Macbook Pro.
AHHH reminds me of my blue G4 PowerPC tower......still sitting under my desk and refuse to get rid of ! One of the LAST AFFORDABLE UPGRADABLE Mac's ever made ! Anything on it could be upgraded and was !! Emphasis on AFFORDABLE !!! And had the matching blue monitor which Apple fixed at one point even though it was out of warranty. So cool looking !! Miss all those games I use to play !
I’ve always preferred the look of its predecessor, the QuickSilver 2002 range, of which I’ve still got my powerhouse with upgraded dual 1.8Ghz CPUs, 1.5GB RAM, and for the day a “massive” 60GB SATA SSD as an OSX Tiger boot drive. With FCP3 and DVDSP I felt unstoppable.
I still have my fathers G4 AGP (as well as a Power Macintosh 8100), planning on at some time getting it to run to relive some nostalgia of my childhood. Anyone remember Mortal Pongbat?! :D
I had a mint condition Mac Pro 3,1 and now I wish I would have kept it. I would have loved to artfully place an M1 Mac Mini Mobo inside....adding connectors and cable for the backplane I/O. I really I love the look of these Mirror Drive Door units...they are older, a bit more rare and are a lot more rough.....but I am now motivated to look for a case in good nick.
Excellent vid! I love my MDD (upgraded to dual 1.25) , and honestly the best use case for me is running the early 2000s games my kids grew up with. 4X4 Evolution, Civilization, SimCity 4, Bugdom, CroMag Rally, Wingnuts are still tons of fun for the family during the holidays. Also, these games are pretty tame culturally and a great alternative for kids.
I am still using a mac mini from 2012 which I did recently install Linux mint distro and its actually usable than mac os. I really would love a mac pro desktop though.
After using an dual 867 MHz, I later got a single 1.25 MHz because it was the most powerful dual boot OS9/OSX machine. It's pretty mundane except for the Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition graphics card. I remember that card, back in the day, really boosted it in games.
i remember it is possible to add a new user account to the mac , with admin privileges ,then deleting the old account which had the forgotten password , once booted into the desktop (or something similar) did that on an old powerbook titanium i bought off facebook
I bought an Imac from around 2014, I didn't even bother to install IOS, instead I installed linux Ubuntu it works a dream, so much so, I don't even bother using my Windows 11 machine that isn't even one year old
i discovered an intel iMac in the recycling dumpster where i live in 2021 in December then it worked but it was not cleanly wiped the hard drive was not wiped and it was full of dust
It’s kind of crazy how fast designs have evolved between the 2000s to the 2010s compared to 2010s to the 2020s. The form factor is iconic after all these years, even if Apple kind of made its own Mac Pro irrelevant in 2023
The M2 Mac Pro 2023 is NOT irrelevant, its perfect for those of us that want and need the speed and "tidyness" of internal PCIe card expansion. You obviously are not interested or aware of the many uses of PCIe expansion. Hence you are not a true "PRO" and the Mac Pro is simply not for you, The Mac Studio exists to save $$ for "prosumers".
@@MelvinAstrahan-b3f you are obviously not aware of the fact that many PCIe cards will not work in the mac pro M2. and that you can easily hook up PCIe expansion chassis to a mac studio, where all cards *will* work. plus it will still be 1000 dollars cheaper.
These powermacs look so much better in person. The reflection of mirrored surface and the shiny translucent plastic (in good condition) looks just amazing when you see it in person instead.
My main Apple retro computer. Still use it from time to time. Upgraded it as much as possible. Have a new PSU in it, dual 1.25 GHZ G4's and several other expansions ( also a much stronger GPU ).
I have an eMac 1Ghz G4 and I dual boot to MacOS9 for games. It's not useable for the web anymore, all the browsers seem to have degraded. I can stream music from VLC and just use it as a radio. I got the MacOS9/Leopard dual boot running recently, and MACOS9 seems to have better game options than OSX, though I've just started playing with it.
@@ShankarGaneshmy dad uses a g4 on osx for his taxes and it works well with our old ricoh copier and large format printer. It just chugs along so why get rid of it.
SorbetLeopard runs much better on these machines than regular Leopard. Tiger and Panther are where it will shine, however. If you want any reasonable attempt at modern web browsing / RUclips playback, SorbetLeopard is your best bet. I've been able to play video at 240p from RUclips on a similar setup
There's something so special about late 90s - early 2010s Apple products. Steve Jobs truly knew what a beautiful product was, inside and out. I have never owned an Apple computer in my life so I never got to experience the "old school" Apple lifestyle. I absolutely love the skeuomorphic design of OSX and I hope that one day, I'll be able to use it for myself, although I probably won't be able to do anything at all on nit!
true, the G5 was also sexy, too bad I'm a PC kind of guy, if ever i find one that's damaged, I'd upgrade it with a Ryzen and a Gigabyte mobo. Friendship ended with Asus.
My first Mac was a G4 MDD, a dual 1.25 GHz model. I bought it in 2006 and sold it in 2008 so I could upgrade to an '06 Mac Mini 1.83 GHz Core Duo. I loved that machine to bits. It came with an SCSI controller card, useful for my Yamaha A5000 sampler I owned back then. I added a USB 2.0 card, a second DVD burner (which had LightScribe) and expanded the RAM to 2GB it was a fine machine for the time. Btw, the small fan is cooling the optical drive cage.
I've got a Quicksilver 2002 @ 800MHz that still works well enough. In 2009 I ordered a Sonnet Allegro USB-2 PCI card that gave me multiple USB-2 ports. Recommended!
I have a quicksilver 2001 867mhz. It’s pretty nice. I upgraded the GPU to a Radeon 9000 pro 128mb to replace the 32mb GeForce 2 MX. The GeForce is faster in UI acceleration l, but the Radeon is noticeably faster in games. I’ve also added a USB 2.0 card. I plan to add a wifi card at some point. And possibly a SATA controller to boot sorbet leopard faster.
Because these suck power like crazy, my dad would often shut the MMD G4 down after being done with it. So very regularly I'd hear the boot chime, and in a small apartment, especially as a kid, it was a real jump scare. It was, and will always be, so unexpectedly loud.
I've got a couple of these still. A last gen dual 1.42GHz and a dual 1.25. The power supplies are flaky, but they're really cool. My 1.42 still gets simi-regular use as my DVD ripping rig. Mac The Ripper is still free for PowerPC machines and 4x 400GB internal HDDs make for plenty of space. Obviously newer and faster dual Superdrives make ripping a piece of cake.
fun fact, you can over clock it by resistors on the daughter card. and motherboard. Turning a 133MHz CPU card into a 167MHz CPU card is just a matter of removing the R22 resistor. If your CPU card was a dual 1.0GHz, it will be a dual 1.25GHz after the bus change! And will run Sorbet Leaopard very well.
you destroyed my heart. installing OSX loepard on PowerPC mac (if its not sobert leopard(fanmade optimized build of leopard)) is worse then living a week in hell
Apple got the worst computers then anyone else the worst warranty you can end up paying for a broken PC in your house forever that will never be repaired ever again when it comes to Apple computers I have 3 Apple computers that are broken and no store can fix them not just did they just break but when they aren’t broken I upgraded my Apple it stopped playing games I paid for you can’t downgrade your iMac Windows is the best way to buy a computer
I think you put the perfect amount of thermal paste better than Tronics fix 😂 good video. there’s no form of like retro bright that you can do on that. What does that only work on computers that have paint on it? Hey that look like a cool little commercial I like the part where you stuck your tongue out in the mirror 😂 also I gave it that old 90s look
You’re lucky your loud fan spin problem was RAM related. That issue is usually power supply or CPU card related but could honestly be nearly anything and is almost impossible to debug. Mine’s issue was probably the CPU card, but I am planning on converting it to a sleeper PC.

Had to subscribe after that Rammstein bit
I'm not an apple guy, and I agree the g4 is nice looking. BUT the g5 is probably one of the best looking computers ever built. apple or not
Actually the G4 hat a pretty good performance per watt compared to the G5. Clocked at the same frequency, a G4 was faster than a G5.
My neighbor buys power macs and converts then into cat houses which is bizarre to me but on the bright side: I get to keep all the internals.

Love your vids, but the G5 should have 2 disc drive slots too, as the 5,1 definitely has
There was no space, given the huge heatsinks of the G5. The Mac Pro's had a completely reconfigured interior.

You’re lucky your loud fan spin problem was RAM related. That issue is usually power supply or CPU card related but could honestly be nearly anything and is almost impossible to debug. Mine’s issue was probably the CPU card, but I am planning on converting it to a sleeper PC.
20 Years Ago, Power Mac G4 is Dream Machine for me.
I don’t know if it’s good to play Rammstein since some things happened here in Germany
I don't care for apple then or now but I'm glad I watched through for Rammstein❤
Better than celeron 2023
The fact that it's 21 years old now freaks me out. :) I had a Graphite PowerMac G4, which is even older. Sheesh, I am old...
The graphite ones feel soooo much older. Somehow the mirrored door G4 looks like it's from the future :)
only macs released after new year 2006 are allowed to run snow leopard!
