Just to note, that brand that sold him the kit is really reliable and their customer service is amazing. I once ordered an iMac Pro keyboard, and they forgot the charger. I emailed them about it, and they shipped the exact charger (it had the paper around it and fit exactly into the keyboard box) for free from Illinois to California. Other World Computing is a really good company imo for anyone looking for Mac accessories or parts
@@milescarter7803he best part is, its not even for free! The customer already paid for the charger, as that should have been included, so they literally just sent what they were paid to send (while keeping the markup)!
Probably not getting a crazy speed advantage give the IDE interface, but significantly better in the long run for reliability. Of course, my iMac G3 got a hard drive upgrade at some point before I got it so I still use that.
Take It appart and paint the yellow bezel white. It looks like new and greatly improves it. Also get 100 grit sand papper and hit the handle then polish it to remove the yellow. If the bezel is cracked paint the back of the clear front. It hides the crack and makes it far nicer looking.
i found one of these hiking in the woods with some friends a few days ago. it seemed pretty worn to the elements but i still turned it over to see the inside of it. motherboard was kinda like haphazardly thrown in there upside down so i flipped it over and there was a FUCKING WASP NEST IN THAT MF. never ran so fast in my life
This Mac’s hardware would be too weak and obsolete to run GTA V. Plus, this Mac was never even compatible with Windows, which is the only OS that supports GTA V.
You should try getting pc components in there and tricking a friend like "hey come check out my gaming room" and they think you have an imac g3+ or whatever
I just fixed my MBP 13” 2015 based and upgraded to a 500gb of SSD. It is not that old and it still works fine (slower of course). It now has dual Operating Systems macOS Monterrey and Windows 10. No further OS upgrades available for this old piece of hardware.

nokia graphics are literally better than that. Only in 64MB ram symbian or java nokia fones.

You should try playing the Mac Port of Halo 1 and see how it handles on that mac!
Someone else tried and sadly the gpu is too limited for it
MattKc tried it, he got it running but very slow and with some graphical errors
It struggles on an earlier g4 so on a g3 it would probably not work at all
HAHAHA

That Spiderman gave me nostalgia... Used to play demo version of it getting stuck in start but still enjoying it
Kk I’m
There was a better way to do this. You could've cloned your existing files from your 6gb hdd to ur ssd and kept all your past data
Yeah but he’s an apple user.
He would have needed an extra adapter from PATA to SATA and not just the SATA to PATA.
That could be quite the pain in the ass depending on what other equipment he has
@@TsunaXZ💀
@@TsunaXZ lol
You can clone a drive. It ain't always necessary to re load an operating system.
That Spiderman game has been my entire childhood!! You showing that game really gave me massive nostalgia hits.
Awesome bottleneck you just upgraded to buddy!
Fully open to suggestions hey! I’m new to all this 😅
It's storage it's not gonna bottleneck anything

Screw it, BUILD A PC INSIDE OF IT
Yesss and make the 24 inch panel a 360hz one
would be so sick to have a modern power PC 16 processor in an Imac lmfao
@@ryanpaul1403 ultimate sleeper build
And then throw the outside away
@@4070superits not 24",its 24 YEARS OLD,i dont think there was even a 24" Mac those days
Put windows in it and run GTA 5

@@tacticalocelot7535 Windows isn’t the *only* OS, since steam offers to run GTA V as native on Mac, BSD, and Linux
I want to overhaul some old tech like this too!! Your imac looks great ((:
As it was pointed out already you could have just cloned the hdd making this so much easier.
Spiderman in roblox b like:
bro paid 80$ for 128gb ssd
He also needed the converter
I remember having these in my highschool library lol.
The converter isn’t specific to the Mac. It’s a SATA to ATA converter. Almost every computer from that era used ATA.
At first glance, I thought he was disassembling a vacuum cleaner
keep up the hard work!
i thought he will say "only 6 gb *ram*" then almost had heart attack
make sure to remove/replace the clock battery in there

Perfection 💯
Omg I used to play that Spider-Man game on the PlayStation
It's a flipping banger man
@@zacharystaines yeah that was the best spiderman game
I still have mine too. With keyboard and mouse
128GB for 80 bucks? Bro got ripped off ☠️☠️
We had these in school. Good times
Yo that Mac looks like a fkin vacuum cleaner 😭🤣
Haha lad too real
I thought it actually was a vacuum cleaner at first 💀💀
Imagine having 128gb back in the day, you would be rich af
Dude didn’t even put an SSD in there😭😭
Its damn right criminal you didnt show if there were any boot up time diffrences
I felt the "too long", like the Graphite i have never loads with any disk drive and CD the latest Mac OS and only installs 9 fast without any problem.
I got SSD in my G4 imac it actually it’s an improvement
Should of turned it into a fish tank instead 😂
You've just been committed the ultimate crime your gaming on a Mac
Now put a 4090 in the iMac
Actual utimate upgrade would certainly include updating to a modern display.
I always wanted one in this colour
You could have saved like hours by cloning the existing install of ox x instead of re installing it on the new ssd
This man did all this just to play a weird old version of Spider-Man 😂😂😂
That thing looks like a damn vacuum cleaner
Bro got the iMAC surgery 💀
This imac looks like my vacum cleaner
Change the processor too 😂😂
Can it even access that much storage?
Yesir but it's not necessarily much faster!
I’ve heard of OWC before.
I know it might be hard because of size constraints but what if you made the Mac a sleeper
The only Mac that could ever game
I kinda wanna upgrade mine too but I have nowhere to put it. So it lives in the closet for now
I think you could repair the CD drive btw.
That was awesome
Can you convert this iMac into a crt? Meaning, can you plug in a retro console to it ?
Try to upgrade the RAM
Can you give me the link of the SSD upgrade?
damn i wouldn’t have thought it would support that thought i’m not very knowledgeable. maybe i’m thinking about RAM
Why was looking in the beginning like you're opening a vacuum cleaner?
Upgrading the ram on that thing will be monumental XD
He already upgraded it to 1GB of RAM
@@ddylan4cats 1g is not that much considering it’s only one, doing something like 8,16,32,64,128 would be insane
@@freshauthor24681 Can the PowerPC processor handle that much RAM?
@@ddylan4cats no idea, maybe? And I just thought, what if he upgrades the psu and adds one of the new apple silicons
the ultimate upgrade is a cpu upgrade, not installing a ssd
What CPU?
@@AemVR I meant "accelerator card". For example: Sonnet HARMONi G3 (Action Retro made a video about it)
now give this better specs than the current mac books
Should have used Macrium Reflect would have saved you the headache.
Can you share the music you used in the background?
You should give it the M1 treatment.
Bro is making the ultimate retro macintosh for apple sheep 😂
The first two numbers are 19! That is less than 24!
Where did you get the spider man game
Cool! So sad about mine , power supply is damaged!
Ahhh man what a shame. Worried the same might happen to mine eventually!
@@zacharystaines Just take good take care of it! It should help avoid malfunctions.
I found one of these at a thrift store once for 20 dollars, unfortunately I didn't have my wallet with me and when I went back it was gone 😭😭😭
Would cloning the drive work?
Imagine you can clone to ssd....
Fist saw i thouth thats a vacuum cleaner 😅
now give it a very strong gpu
That’s amazing, unreal, fantastic!! You got a Mac to play video games!!
(It’s just an hyperbole, a joke 🤪)
Bro even my mid phone can do this spiderman game at 120fps
I thought bro was gon add a 4090 ti with a intel i9 13900k with 36 gigs of ddr5 ram
Should have put fedora on it.
SSD would’t last long due to the lack of TRIM support.
What game was the spider man game??? I remember playing it but I can’t remember the name
It was just called Spider-man, im pretty sure! 2001?
Wait, you are telling me I can sell a $5-20 adapter and a $10-30 drive together for $80?
“Only 6GB” 😂
You should try to play gang beast on it
Well, the only thing that's left is the CPU
The slot loader drives on these don’t age well I’ve never seen one that works good lmao either slow asf to eject or just won’t
Now put a M3 in it
I want to see it running a 4090
Could you please give the name of the game
hi
Is it possible to upgrade the disk drive from the og cd drive to a standard dvd drive
What spiderman is that?
Stick with OS9 on this one, better games in this era anyway
Whats the name of spiderman game
I thought it was vacuum cleaner...
It is.
@@ryanpaul1403 no it's mac
Give it some more RAM and increase the graphics
Can u tell me the spider man game name 🙂
Ultimate upgrade... No ram no overclock?
bummer that this iMac has no mezzanine slot
why didn't you transfert data like any pc?
