Psivewri sud to me please
Just saying I dont think a vacumm is high power air whats what a air duster is used for
That high quality CRT, and PPC Based CPU are one of the reasons it's my favourite Mac Releases, as I tend to use them for a lot of legacy applications.

HOW OLD ARE YOU??? I DIDN'T KNOW ANYONE UNDER 50 YEARS OLD;
HAD EVER WATCHED A TRINITRON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@appleleptiker NO!!; just BI-POLAR DISORDER!!!!!!
@@packardexelence calm down kid
We had the original iMacs in school when I was young, I always thought they looked so futuristic 😂😂
Me too
GetOutNubs shud up loser
@@getoutnubs you are probably not old enough.
In my school pc's are old&shity, most of them have windows xp and windows 7
The first time I saw one was at an Apple approved reseller - KRCS - here in England. They used them as POS terminals. Loved it.
Question time! Do you prefer the thumbnail of this video as opposed to my older ones? I used to add lots of colourful bokeh and edit them extensively in photoshop. I personally prefer the simple, clean look of the thumbnail for this video. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated :)
Sometimes simpler is better. I prefer the new style.
The new style is the way to go! :)
The new style is a bit better in my opinion :)
yea, this style is nicer. also love your vids! keep it up ;)
Less is more. I prefer this thumbnail.
Dude! I found one of these sitting on the side of the road around the corner from my old house about 7 years ago. Took it home and turned it on and it worked great.
They are so bloody heavy though.
We must be driving down the wrong roads. I have never seen an Imac just sitting there crying and waiting for someone to save it from the recycle bin and crusher.
i would grab one in a minute.
The Imac G3's weighed 40 lbs.
The Emacs weighed 50 !
And the first ones cost $ 999 when new.
I also once had an Imac DV.
i still have the system disks somewhere.
I belonged to a Mac user group for nearly 10 years and never heard of someone giving or throwing away working Macs! It just doesn't happen.
I love your videos! I'm generell interestend in Technology, especially old Technology and your videos are the best!
How did you came to the idea making videos? And why videos over (old) technology?
Lovely Penguin If you look back far enough on this channel, I was making tech videos about old computers as far back as 2009 when I was about 13 years old. I find it fun :)
Psivewri Oh, ok. Thanks! I'm 13 years old now! Can you make a video over the Nokia 9000 Communicator? And what's your mean, what is the best video on your channel and why?
Psivewri Please, don't understand it wrong, I wanted only to ask, because I find, that this phone is a very interesting thing. Please! I love your videos! I never said, you must make this video, but I would find it cool, because it's a very interesting thing. Please! :'(
I am glad that you rescue every computer that ends in bins and car boot sales. At least those computers are refurbished by your expert hands to be transformed as brand new working computers once again.
Wow...so envision a hack of this unit, and installing a single board computer so some retrogaming can come forth!
You don't need to modify it! I have a 1.25ghz version of this eMac, I run all retro Mega Drive, SNES, NES, SMS, PC Engine roms at a full smooth 60fps - it's a perfect system for it, the CRT is the cherry on the cake... smoooooth scrolling. I even have a full Amiga setup on here, runs ALL games perfectly. Emulates an Amiga 4000 faster than a real one. Not to mention all old computers, Spectrum, Commodore 64 etc etc. I'd get one before the word gets out :p
@@TheVoosters how do u do this, teach me your ways
I was driving on my way to piano class and drove past this house that had a bunch of junk out front I took a look and found a E Mac in the pile! And works great!
Wait you take piano classes? As the FBI? Nice.
You know it’s funny I found one I had a thrift store for $15 I think it’s still available should I get it LOL I have no purpose for it
UPDATE: I went to the thrift store and I plugged it in and it doesn’t work:( so I didn’t walk out with it also if it was working I would’ve have had the space
Snag it, that's a pretty good price for one of these.
It will be a good aquarium tho.
Power PC boat anchor.
Would be cool to wire a macmini up in it if the CRT still worked lol.
Buy it and sell it as-it. Someone who knows how to fix it will.
Even this ancient mac has a higher resolution than the iPhone Xr
Wrong. Google first. Look ignorant later. Not to say the Xr is not seriously lacking. I wouldn't touch it.
@@DanaTheInsane the vertical resolution is higher in this. Google first, look ignorant later.
@@tash_views I learned it form you. :)
@@DanaTheInsane Okay children, let's play nicely okay, or no sweets.
i like peanuts
I doubt they threw it , slowly and surely walking it out I would believe. Damn things are freaking heavy.
Congrats on getting your monetisation back
Great Video. Its good to see these machines getting a bit of coverage now. Through watching your video and others it has inspired me to do a video on the E-mac as I feel it is the neglected 'Mac' and it needs a bit of air time.
What a cool little Mac! Wow!
Done a few of these. The build quality is IMMENSELY satisfying to me, as an engineer. All the rubber fan mount grommets in the world won't save you from the VERY, VERY loud, CONSTANT fan noise! Whoops! Love the eMac though - gave my brother one about 10 years ago, and he used it for his business (he still has it!)
I remember upgrading from the iMac G3 to one of these and it was a huge improvement. Screen was much better and even with the same memory, it was very responsive with that G4 in there. I wish I would have kept my eMac.
I really want to get A hold of some old machines, the nostalgia factor for playing old games is amazing.
These are great machines. I used one as a daily driver for a long time and they were great for photo editing. With some open source software you can still do a fair bit with them. My old one is still being used by my nieces mostly as a simple game machine.
Now throw the 4k panel, gtx 2080ti, core i9, and liquid cooling inside of it. While you disassembling it.
Can't believe how many people remember this thing fondly! I just remember it losing my work projects and constantly freezing/ not working properly (these replaced the classic beige macs in my elementary school, they worked wayyyyy better than the eMac).
I remember playing “I Spy” on this bad boy in the computer lab in 4th grade 😂
I remember my Year 2 teacher ordered an eMac for our class, in 2003. She must have been a fan because we were the only classroom in the school to have an eMac for some reason. I remember being amazed at the shiny white design, and the aqua interface. The class would take turns playing Otto-Magic. So much nostalgia. Our computer rooms were filled with the iMac G3’s, which were discarded around 2006 unfortunately. I remember them being kind of unreliable. We had 1 of the graphite DV iMacs, and my friends and I somehow knew it was the fastest one despite not knowing anything about macs back then. Fun times.
Sitting here with a eMac that I did the LCD mod to, and scarred my finger doing it, and still have no use for, but now there’s all these RUclipsrs are doing videos on it telling you it’s also useless xd
Also someone did throw it out
mineTurtle DXR THATS nice but how good is the lcd
i have an iMac G3 (2nd or 3rd series) and iMac G4 (lamp); but I've always liked the look of these. I need to grab one. (I also want to get an old Mac G3 AIO.) I love old Apple machines. They were so cool and futuristic looking.
I just realised that Australians seem to pronounce “assume” as ashoom 😁
I have some personal history with this model. I went to elementary school in 2001, first IT lesson had in 2002. Back then we had only one class equiped with computers, very old PCs running Win 95 or 98, nevermind. During lesson one computer had to be shared by two students. Then in 2005 suddenly our school received a substantial amount of these eMacs. For us it was a great upgrade! Different environment, one computer per user, wow factor was very big then. As I observed many other school in Poland also used eMacs, even I met them at the end of my high school, but as secondary PCs in library. It was in 2013 and then eMacs was already veeery obsolete, but still working unlike PCs from the same year. I even saw them rotting in storage. Probably I would be able to get one fo free then (but didn't have any room for one then). Many other people 5-7 years older and younger from me knows eMac, so this model was for nearly all of us a first contact with Mac at all.
From another perspective - I felt that these computers didn't have enough power. Sometimes operating in spreadsheet or vector graphics was painful. Despite this in 2005 it was enough to browse Internet and play flash games (extinct right now, but man! we spent hours on them).
Still have one with the stand, on my desk. Takes up so much room, but I can't bring myself to get rid of my childhood mac.
Keep the good work up i just started watching your channel as i was looking to buy an old mac book so i typed in the 2009 Mac book and your channel popped up so i checked it out and you make awesome videos keep the good work up
My University had these for our Graphic Design Lab. I used them shortly before they switched them to the first-generation flat screen ones.
Ugh. We had a ton of these in the IT suite at my uni in the early 2000s. It's one of the reasons I learned to laugh at idiots who claimed "Macs don't crash".
Call me crazy but I think you might be a bit hypocritical with this one. I use a dell pc on occasion but I've stopped because apps like discord, minecraft, chrome, and firefox cause my 2018 dell pc to crash or have to reboot. And before you would say something like, "You're an apple fanboy!" Yes, I enjoy the computer tablet and phones but I dont buy them without hesitation or praise apple without seeing their flaws like: Overpriced things, Possible crashed, shitty mice, and a few others.
@@placeholderplaceholder6056 Me? I don't think I'm a hypocrite. I really have been told by people that "Macs don't crash", and I really have laughed at them, because my earliest Mac experiences were of my Uni's PowerPC-based Macs which would periodically crash, often causing me to lose a bunch of work. I'm not saying that while typing on an eMac in my "Macs don't crash" t-shirt.
If you mean I'm a hypocrite for claiming Macs crash and Dells don't... well, I didn't claim that.
I still use one of these for scanning documents and edit images for items on eBay. I run Linux on mine and have no issues with it. RUclips even works in terminal mode but, is slow in web browser.
I remember the disc drive would always get stuck lol Mac OS X Tiger 10.4 was WAYYY ahead of its time for the early 2000s. Like seriously. Its so nice
We had one of these in first grade. It was the slowest thing on earth. And my uncle has one in the garage. These things can be pretty slow on newer softwere.
I bought one of these about 5 years ago from a yard sale for $20. Dicked around with it and discovered it to be pretty much useless so I built a hackintosh instead and couldn't register an AppleID without having an official Apple product. Made an AppleID with the eMac and was able to log in with the hackintosh. eMac went in the trash. Probably should've saved the keyboard, mouse, and power cable though.
Excellent video! However, back in 2013, what I really wanted was a 20 inch G4 iMac and noticed that this eMac computer did have the same ports.
hitting volume up, volume down over and over to make it get stuck on the popping noise for an extensive period of time was me and my classmates favorite thing to do back in 2005 to drive the computer teacher bonkers
It's very appealing. I don't know why but that looks like real Apple machine when compared to new ones
I love how you have every odd/cool CRT computer out there!
2:44 there's something satisfying about unscrewing those really wide screws.
"School friendly" is a term we will never hear from Apple again
Yes, I can confirm that in 2021, when trying to boot a 2006 era eMac, in order to play CIV III (still, so much fun), you gotta massage that power button for at least ten seconds before it fires up. Now.... time to destroy the Romans!
I worked on these machines for a few years when they came out. Worked fine but the dvd rom was stuck a lot of the time.
That Mac boot chime is beautiful 👌
I saw these in the JLS Middle School, CA, that I attanded in 2004 as exchange student. At that time they seemed like machines from the future.
1:35 that refresh rate physically hurts my brain
We had one of these in my fifth grade classroom. I never saw the teacher or anyone else use it but I was always so intrigued by it. I wanted one but I don’t really know what I would have done with it.
I think they had these in some of the student computer labs at my university back around 2004-2005 and they were pretty slow machines even back then. They looked amazing though.
you should make this into a sleeper pc lmao
My mum bought one for $50 on Facebook, turned out the RAM is dead, so it's just sitting in my cupboard, I'll buy RAM soon
My old school music class still uses those for garage band 🤯
Oh Jesus
Amazing, got one recently and I love it!
i still had one of those that my grandpa gave me but the CRT died sadly it was really cool
There's a good chance you can get a working one for next to nothing if you look around 🙂
Yay tech videos
I remember how cheap the screens were and how heavy! Looked like the screen would have like radiation or something coming out of the CRT screen lmao!
Those were actually quite good CRT screens. But they made for such an incredibly heavy computer!
Changing the PRAM battery has always been a bit of a headache with these all-in-one machines. The earlier 5500 and similar models are much easier with a slide-out logic board.
It’s so pretty! I agree that the design still holds up. If Apple was still building a CRT Mac, I feel like this is what it would look like.
I remember messing with these multiple times in 2003 during elementary school. Eventually our school ditched these and went with iMac G5 computers.
A couple years ago my intermediate school had a storage room that had tones of these on shelves and behind one was another one I wish I was still at this school and should have taken one without a doubt
Not sure about the very early release models of this eMac. But the 1.25/1.42Ghz models will definitely need a recap for the caps used on the logic board. These were definitely impacted by the capacitor plague of the early 2000s. Saw two blown caps on my 1.42Ghz eMac while cleaning it out. Despite 2 caps having completely vented tops, the machine still runs fine. It's definitely something I want to fix though so I don't use the eMac very much as running it with bad caps can cause more problems. So I only run it when I really need to.
Not sure on the analog board, but it's mainly the motherboard that needs the recap. My model used mainly thru hole mounted caps so it's not one of the more difficult machines to recap unlike some older Macs that used SMD mounted caps. (those caps had leaking issues with age so not related to the defective capacitor issues the 2000s era machines had)
damn... and i had just found a 1.25ghz model on fbmkt D:
So in other words you went Apple Dumpster diving.
i have the very similar model. it came from a university in berlin and the hard disk wasn't formated. i found a whole lot of educational programs and research results. i didn't understand most of it but its interesting.
I have one of these; it's such a beautiful computer. I have limited space and want to use it for composite or via input for my retro consoles so I won't need to be crowded with a tube TV any ideas for adding av inputs of any type. Thanks.
I had one like this when I was 14, I played SNES emulator on the mac
Hay, just a question please, I have a similar eMac 2006. What is the command to open the DVD/CD tray? I ejected a game and closed the door. How to open it again? thanks !
I primarily used the eMac in high school, although it wasn't hard to find an iMac either. A lot of students abused the heck out of both computers and would punch out the speakers on the eMacs with a pen or pencil.
I recently bought one of these for $40. Really cool machine.
Just once I want to find something neat like this.
Did that possibly have 2 accounts on it? Did you reset it? Because my family threw one of thoes out because it was worthless to us :/
The literal only thing that kills mine for me is the PPC cpu because it's difficult to find real good applications for it.
For me at least. It just feels like any version of any photo editing software you could use would be junk, it couldn't handle HD video editing, et cetera. Pro Tools would be the only thing I could conceivably see these being useful for these days, and maybe vintage emulation. SNES emulation looks fantastic on these, and the sound cards are actually top quality.
How difficult is it just to get at the Hard Disk? while this video is now pushing about 4 years old, i just got one of these about a month ago and i think the hard drive is beginning to fail,
Now take out the inside, sell that, use the shell (every part) and make/mod a PC or Hackintosh into it. Along with a good quality (whatever size) LED-LCD.
i have one to recycle. it works fine but isn't very useful because it's very slow and you can't upgrade it. it's also super heavy. someone is going to turn it into an art project.
Of course, the eMac was a G4 with a flat panel CRT screen, making it great for editing photographs, whereas the iMac G3 was noticeably curved and smaller.
I have EXACTLY THE SAME (specs) but I upgraded the RAM (256mb->768mb)
You connect video game consoles into these? (Like ps3 or Nintendo switch?)
Do you think you can make a video on how to connect to internet via Airport on old PowerMac? Because i'm connected to My PowerMac G4 QuickSilver but on internet explorer, safari, and fire fox says "Server Not Found"
Can it run Rise of the Tombraider at ultra settings?
I would like to know what brand and model is your watch and please keep up the good work.
It's the Fitbit Blaze :)
I have one that works that I'm taking to the E recycling center if anyone wants it!
Would you make a review and upgrade of a Compaq Presario CDS 520?
I was just using my eMac today. Even though I have a 2017 iMac 27 inch screen I go back to the eMac to convert files, such as .cwk files I made a long time ago.(AppleWorks). I convert them into a .png files to work on my newer iMac, and I convert old QuickTime music. The best thing about it has both system Mac OS X and 9 on it. That's the way it came.
A little story here. In 2009, my iMac was stolen and I had to buy a cheap Mac and found a eMac for $150 at the time and used it temporarily until I bought a late 2009 Mac Mini. What I think about the eMac? I think it’s pretty heavy and not stupid fast but good enough for basic use.
I love my eMac and I still have my SONY digital camera, too. Don't forget to insert a floppy disc.
We just threw ours out today. I removed the logic board to have inset into a table top.
I've been waiting for a video for a very long time: now it's here and it's really good as always --> or like we in germany say: Passt scho!
Lovely bit of kit that one!
The E mac still looks futuristic in 2020
What, you only have 50k subs. Bruh I thought you would have more. Nice vid.
Try to find the 2005 model.. Its quite a beast!!
could you mod this computer to act as a monitor for old consoles?
wow, I would love find one of those. they are very heavy buying only the transportation would be huge expensive.
hmm... shroud. I am the silver shroud
Your town must like Apple
I wonder if it’s possible to convert one to LCD
It supports 1gb of ram and if you put more than 1gb will it be able to run
My gaming rig! No kidding, DosBox, Scummvm, source ports, PiMiga, Mame etc... Using a real MT321.
Hey does eMac support for wireless networks?
they should start making a modern version of the eMac
This reminds me of a toothpaste cap. Am I a first? The Toothpaste cap Mac
