    You lucky lucky bastard! I've been trying to find one of these in good nick without taking out a second mortgage. Here in the sticks of Georgia these are as rare as hen's teeth and the shipping charges are outrageous. Have fun with it.

    Hey, hey The old G4s were great I have an old Ti G4 I need to get back in the game, I was thinking of putting a powerpc version of Linux on it, but I might just stick with the OSX 4.1 that it is limited to. I do have a bunch of software for it so I will keep the Linux option at arm's length for the time being. Great dis-assembly vid btw. I like the case as a heat sink idea too.

    I still have mine. I upgraded the RAM to 2gb and replaced the HDD with a SSD. Now it’s the family jukebox!

      Sweet! Yeah, great for an iTunes server! Wonder if I can upgrade mine to 2gb? Most info I have seen says 1gb max, butI think I did see one post saying it'll play nice with 2gb...? Appreciate the comment!

      @@ToddTinkersWithTech I think my specs said 1.25gb or something for my model, but it sees all 2gb and runs nicely. I’d check for any updates first obviously

    An enjoyable video!👍👍
    I do like the style of those computers and if I recall correctly there are some neat speakers for it.
    I do have one Mac computer, it's a 2008 2.4 GHz., core 2 duo 17 inch MacBook Pro, it has the maximum 8 gig of ram installed and an ssd., with Linux Mint Mate as the OS., it currently works well, but there have been some minor glitches, I particularly like it's keyboard.

      Yeah I have seen the video (can't remember his name) where that was done! Would be cool for a non-working machine that you could tear into without guilt, but I think I want to preserve this one! Appreciate the comment! 👍

      @@ToddTinkersWithTech Agreed. I would not do it to yours. A broken one with a good exterior but nonworking guts would be optimal for that sort of sleeper build.
