silver button close to you! greetings from Russian subscriber!
My b&w just sit in my closet:)
Look for a cpu upgrade from sonnettech on ebay
You put a lot of effort into your videos. I hope soon you get your 100k
I have really cool apple workgroup servers and one g4 server it was just given to me as a regular g4 they have the workgroup software installed to its very cool.
I’m just here for the eucalyptus oil.
And the spirits... xD
And the methylated spirits!
I just googled it,it is denatured alcohol but sounds so much more impressive as methylated spirits . LOL
You gotta be careful with Euc oil, it can mess up some acrylics real bad.
It's the eucalyptus oil guy...
"1999 was now 20 years ago" Yeah, I'm just gonna crawl into a corner and die now...
😭😭😭😭
You know what's crazier? 1899 was *120* years ago! Mind blowing!
REMISE it’s not meant to be funny. It’s meant to be as idiotic as the original comment.
REMISE I don’t think you understand how to apply that.
@REMISE This cancer is why everybody makes fun of reddit now
A 10min video feels like 2 minutes thats what i call entertaining keep up the good work
I agree 100%. Very entertaining and cool!
I ageee
True
Yes
True
i want you to spray me with some of that eucalyptus oil.
Would u like some fries with that?
Spray it on your balls it's very soothing
ohhh sexy
I used one of these through my last years of my bachelor's degree, just a few years ago. I found myself so distracted by my modern machine's capabilities that I decided to use one of these until I was finished.
It's now my no - distractions writing workstation when I just cannot focus.
I’m looking for and old laptop to do that. Some video editing capable machine with no distractions whatsoever.
I think this guy’s channel is all just an ongoing advertisement for eucalyptus oil
i have no complaints😁
4:30 interesting vacuuming technique there.
Why did he have to take off his pants for that?!
@@avh1928 yes
I just noticed that, thank you! lol!
The G3, from a time when Apple were crazy cool. Always loved the look of this model of Power G3 (and the iMac G3 too), always wanted one, could never afford one (story of my life!), Nice to see dedicated individuals keeping these machines alive!
Crazy cool but crazy small and on the verge of bankruptcy lol
8:45 It isn’t a second StarCraft, it is the first one)
The Kiwi yeah
Brood :X
If he could have gotten SC2 to run on a G3 I would have been amazed
StarCraft BroodWar
I bought my Mac back in 1853, and it still runs great! The wood case is very easy to remove and polish, as are the wooden fans!
4:27 damn those eucalyptus legs
The cleaning, the dialog, the music, this video is lit ❤️
APPLE
The eucalyptus oil 😍
I'm still using mine for making signs on my old Roland camm-1 plotter, since I only have drivers for this. Still works like a champ!
Would love to have that software! I have a Roland Camm-1 too. Didn’t know there were Mac drivers available.
@@notajp So if you have both a Roland CAMM-1 and an old G3 Mac blue tower, I might be able to help for a small charge.
G3/4/5 are still my most favorite case designs of all time, especially the G4. just beautiful, and so easy to access things inside.
My favorite design is the graphite g4, but my favorite to use is the quicksilver. It’s the best mid ground to performance and cost. The MDD models can get expensive.
Is eucalyptus oil Australian soap
It's our Lysol
i was always interested in your videos. like literally the first thing i would look up after 6hrs of absolute torture AKA school, the first thing i do is look up your channel to see if there are any new uploads..like without exaggeration. good luck in future videos!
They don’t make ‘em like this anymore. I have this same Mac in my homelab. Still runs great!
Don't you wish that they still made them like this today?
ლ Itz Lolli UwU ლ I do! (ᵔᴥᵔ)
@@mitchelvalentino1569 I know!! They are so cool looking! 😍😍😍
ruclips.net/video/vjWd_7OzO84/видео.html
You're welcome...
@@irukhan07 Dadgonnit you.
the casing design is timeless, still love it
Roby Renaldi ikr!
A day early before the 2019 Mac Pro release
WHATTTTTTTTTT
When I started work on this video, the new mac pro wasn't yet announced 🙂 Maybe it'll get a few more views
Psivewri well..that price point might take a long time for considered getting one 😂
Nice job restoring it! My dad was an education rep for an Apple dealer, so he was always bringing home computers to try or for the family to use for a little while, so we did indeed have one of these. So glad to see you feature Dark Vengeance. It had a great network play mode that my siblings and I got plenty of use out of.
Whatever Jew boy
4:22 did you forget to wear pants?
I think those are shorts, not sure tho.
LoL That's sexy
Sexy Aussie
oof
@@someperson2965 yeah I suppose, not so clear tough lol
I still have my G4 AGP (Sawtooth) tower that also came out in 99 for some reason, I love it. I especially love the graphite color of it that they were using in the late 90/early 00s on the PowerMacs and iMacs
Man I wanted one of these macs back then so badly lol. You should take it to an apple store and see the look on their faces lol.
AlphaMax I love taking my old Macs in. The best part is most of the people in there have no clue what it is except that it’s a vintage Mac. I’m always like yeah I’m the Mac
daddy baby.
@@MACSmovies Bring an old Mac in and say that its broken and needs fixing I wonder what their reaction would be...
@@aarupoudyal1378 they’ll try to shame you and try to upsell you to new products. Then tell you they don’t carry spare parts for vintage apple products and ignore you to look for paying customers instead.
I really like the blue front panel on this Apple Pro PC. Its looks more colorful. I wish the full case color was blue to make it look even more exciting and appealing to users.
1:48 I LOVE those IBM drives!!!!
Say what?
@Windows NT 3.0 Good one!
I remember a couple of classrooms at my high school used those PowerMac G3 desktops. They were hooked up to Apple's CRT studio displays and they ran Mac OS 9. They kept using them until 2007, IIRC.
I've always wanted one of these PowerMacs! 🤤 We had Kid Pix 1, 2 and 3 at primary school and 4 at home. I wish they still worked on Intel Macs. 😭
Very nice. I’ve still got our 400MHz B&W G3 my dad bought back in ‘99. It had been stored in the crawl space after we moved on to newer computers. I recently dug it out and freshened it up. Didn’t need much of a cleaning, but was missing the Rage 128 video card and the optical drive bracket and flip down door. Sourced the parts online and it’s back running good as new. Threw an 18GB 7200rpm HD in there, and with the 448MB RAM it had from years ago, it’s a very snappy Mac indeed!
Wow such an underrated channel, I cannot believe the quality of the video without having 100,000 subs or even over 1 million
It's a "niche" channel. Personally, I can't get enough.
Probably one of the most underrated channels on RUclips
Wow. This brings back so much nostalgia for where I was in my life early in my graphic design career in 1999 and 2000. I loved the G3 and G4 towers back then.
Came for the eucalyptus oil and left with knowledge on how to clean a Mac
I have the successor to the machine in this video. I bought it new in 1999 and it still works like a champ. Kudos to Apple for these machines as they don't seem to ever die.
I honestly really enjoy these restorations, very immersive.
i was an Apple service tech when these came out , such a dream to work on , 5 minute ram or hard drive upgrades !
if i remember correctly it was the first , or one of the first computers to have USB only as the serial and keyboard/mouse interface . at the time people were unhappy about it because their old stuff didn't connect !
Do you think you could put an SSD in it and run the latest OS ? (I have no idea what that is.)
i won't say it's impossible to put an SSD in a G3 , but it's not going to be simple , the hard drive connections were either SCSI or IDE/PATA . no SATA ports . there may be a card that will add SATA ports but i have no idea if you could boot from it .
it absolutely will not run the latest OS (10.15) , the G3 has a PowerPC processor , the latest OS's are all for Intel based machines . i think even if you could get it to work it would be so slow you'd never want to use it .
the last version to support PowerPC is 10.6 . that might run ok , but many websites are close to not accepting any of the web browsers that run on that version , so usability is limited .
also maximum ram was 1 GB , amazing for OS 9 that it came with , not so cool now .
I believe they were also the first PowerMac with FireWire. I had (actually still have somewhere) an external Sony FireWire DVD drive that had the translucent blue trim to match the computer.
9:10
I still use Sosumi as my main error chime to this day on macOS Mojave
Awesome video! I still have mine and use it occasionally to play Jedi Outcast and Quake.
How about making a custom mod of this computer with latest equipments ?
Maybe for a dead one, but a G3 as immaculate as this would simply be a waste.
@@LuftRaptor agreed, something like this should stay exactly as it is. It is a masterpiece when it's in this great of condition.
Funny you say that, because when I was a kid and G3s were still around a lot of places I always wanted to build a PC in a G3 case. I wonder what they go for on eBay these days....
I wouldn't do it with one that works, but if I got a dead one...Core i9 Hackintosh coming up!
Oh man, this brings me back! I remember in my College Art Department, a critical flaw in the design of these machines became apparent... well, less the computer itself, and more just the Zip Drives. See, if you had a broken Zip disk, it would break a drive when it tried to red the disk. If a drive was broken, it would break the disk. You can see where this is leading. The entire Mac Lab would go down at least one a semester because someone would kept trying to use a busted disk in each machine, rendering them unusable. Though since it was a chicken and egg scenario (what was broken first, the disk or the drive), it'd be hard to fault the student who accidentally did all this, especially since they essentially just lost all their work.
But yeah, nostalgia at its finest!
You mentioned/showed a lot of expansion space. About how much do you think this thing could be upgraded? (like, could you get over a gig of ram in there? An SD drive? A dedicated graphics card that still used the old PCI slots?)
I'm using that exact apple keyboard as I'm typing this. I absolutely love it.
Picked one up 3 weeks after this video, still love it to this day!
Your cleaning on the inside helped me so much doing it myself!
Fun fact: Dark Vengeance was the same game that was shown to showcase the G3’s graphics power at MacWorld 1999!
That computer looks so gorgeous now, holy cow
We found a Power Macintosh G3 and a CRT Apple Studio Display; both of which were brand new and never taken out of their original packaging. About 2 years ago, me and my mom were driving on a warm summer day, and saw two boxes sitting on the curb. A sign said, "Willing to get rid of these. I don't think they're rare." We picked them up and took them home. We powered the computer on, and it worked. My mom gave me the computer since I noticed it first, and now my main computer in my room is a Power Macintosh G3.
What? You don’t t have a few floppies of “Monkey Island” and disks of “The Mist” laying around?
I have a PowerMac G4 at home that I got a few years ago and installed MacOSX 10.4 and put a Zip 250 I think it was in it and a new DVD drive that thing was pretty cool. It still sits in my garage. It has a 500Mhz PowerPC processor I believe.
That would be a perfect case for a "sleeper" build.
Actually still have one of those. Still have the matching CRT monitor and keyboard too. Mine has the original version of OS X installed. Haven’t had it on in more years than I care to mention tho. Still have a working original all in one iMac too, as well as a tangerine iBook in working condition.
4:30 How childish of me 😂
I bought one of these new. I still have it. It worked the last time I set it up a couple of years ago. I should do a review of it myself.Thanks for the video.
The quality of your videos is very good
You deserve way more subscribers
Woooow, Kid Pix! I used to play that in elementary school also! I remember being creeped out by some of the weird movie files as well.
That was so satisfying to watch
Before you even started cleaning I was like here comes the eucalyptus 😂
He never used a ESD strap... he’s insane!
Still slightly newer than my oldest laptop which is a Toshiba Satelite 330cds with a manufacture date of November 14, 1998. Has a 266 MHz Pentium mmx with 96 MB ram and it's original 4.1 gb hard drive. Still runs fine today on Windows 98 second edition.
So glad there wasn’t a giant spider hiding in there.
this guy's so calm & demeanoured, he could be an AI! great vid. I really miss having this machine, back in the day. thanks for the memory lane (& that's not a RAM-Slot).
When an aluminium heatsink was enough to cool your cpu.
Didn't last long though... G4 already had a giant heat sink and a couple of fans.
G3 g4 and g4 Quicksilver were beautifull machines, the tulip mac also
I feel so old when I realise the 90's was 20+ years ago.
Not as dusty as I expected for a 20 year old computer. As for the design of the tower, I rather like it. The frosty clear and blue looked pretty cool.
0:57 you're welcome
The blue and white across the '99 macs makes them look so much more interesting compared to the aluminium of today.
Psivewri: The Ballad of the Methylated Spirits.
Thank you for reminding me of KidPix, that’s the first time I’ve thought of it since elementary school...
I was 1 when that Mac was manufactured.
4:30 you gotta admit, that vacuum between the legs looks a bit funny
2:13 "G4" 😉
this and the G4 are still my favorite case designs EVER. they are outstanding.
Me goes to work to find that they bought. Mac Pro’s.
Me also realising it is blue and 20 years old 😂😂😂
(The hard drive was made in 1998!!!)
when it’s been a minute but there’s been no methylated spirits...
but then you hear RUB IT WITH SOME METHO 😂
Cleaning Mac porn has become a new favorite
I remember when the Computer Lab back at the U got refreshed with these puppies, which was a SUBSTANTIAL upgrade from the old dusty Pentiums I and II they used to have, also was my first interaction with Mac's back in the day as I used to be only a PC boy with either windows or Linux, can't deny I was charmed by the looks and the OS wasn't that half bad either, but gone are those days. Last time I touched an apple system was a Hackintosh I made installed, Snow Leopard OS to use ProTools, I know I could have gone the easy route of just running a VM, but since I was going for a more "PRO" audio studio setup/build i decided to go to the Hackintosh which it turned out to be pretty decent.
4:30 BIG SUCC
Lmao XDDD
Lmfao
3:44 best line in the whole video
Apple in 90's: the most genius and creative company in the world
Apple in 2019: piece of crap
"Apple in 90's: the most genius and creative company in the world"
You misspelled stealing other people's ideas.
Apple is still an amazing company
@@flashcloud666 Like when Microsoft ripped off Mac OS?
Not sure how that gives what I said a pass but ok. Gates crushed all kinds of small companies too. Just like Apple did. And Apple stole the OS idea from UNIX. Oh I see, you think this is a team sport or something....typical
Love seeing all those stuff that i never heard of.Keep it up, Psivewri❤️

I remember this from middle school. They worked great back then!
"ninety-ninety-nine" so 9099?
1999 is nineteen-ninety-nine but ok...
He’s Australian. Are you?
My dad bought one of these in 2000 for his business. He retired this year. The machine operated as new, as expected for 19 years. I would like to see a modern mac last that long!
You really need to stop talking like a news anchor. It's extremely annoying.
This case is so beautiful, I want to put a new hardware in one of these
That casing is still sooooo beautiful!
For the metal piece try baking sod’s and water it works like a charm
I used to own this very machine. Absolutely loved it. Sadly the innards were so rusted that the motherboard would short out. Purchased it second hand and by that time it was pretty well very old.
you should buy a extra shell of that mac and put modern mac hardware in the new shell, it would make for an interesting build video
or build a hackingtosh in it with similar specs to a newer mac keep it somewhat upgradable and fixable like the old mac was
I still remember when our elementary schools got these in the media center/computer lab. The students were so excited about them. Not going to lie I loved them too. Lol Hard to believe these are 20 years old.
I notice you didn't remove the acrylic I/O shield. Probably smart. I swear that bit must have about twenty clips holding it in. Took me about half an hour to get it off when I bought my blue and white a couple months ago.
It's so satisfying that seeing all these dusts being cleaned.
At home we have an MDD G4 Single 1.25 GHz that also has OS9 on it. Followed by the Late 2005 Powermac G5 Dual 2.3 Ghz that is still a daily driver because of Quadro FX 4500 and 10 GB Ram.
I miss the startup chime. My '18 MBP 15-inch (and the other current-generation Macs) have removed that feature.
I still own this and a Quadra 950. Both still work too. Great video.
4:33 kind of reminds me of something lol
I bought a 300 MHz Blue and white G3 from a friend who is a graphics designer. He had fitted a Sonnet G4 upgrade kit so it was a 450 MHz G4. He also installed a high-end graphics card. I felt it needed more IO so I added a combined USB/FireWire 400 PCI card, this had two USB 2.0 and two FW 400 ports, enhancing the capability quite a bit. Later I added another card with an additional four USB 2.0 ports. I also gave it the maximum RAM of 1 GB.
The PowerPC 750 is used in the GameCube, Wii and Wii U aswell.
I remember the whole colored plastic PCs of that era. Saw this on HP and Dell machines too. They were pretty nifty for their time as it wasn't just a beige box and you could really customize the outside with just the plastic vs a full cut and rebuild case mod back then
We still have one at my workplace on daily duty hosting the company website for nearly 20 years.
Wow that's a nice case. Wish they'd go back to this type of styles
