  • It's time I sold the last Quicksilver. I purchased a few of these prior to my Power Hack G4 Build series to have access to as many spare parts as possible. I didn't take much from this machine so getting it back up and running was pretty simple. I don't need another Power Mac so this is up for grabs on eBay ready for a new owner:

    I just spent a day removing scratches from my G4 MDD. I used various grades of wet & dry paper, followed by a rotary polishing tool with some car headlight polishing compound. Came out like new. Literally no more scratches, even when viewed with a torch.

    Dear It's My Natural Colour,
    I have loved this video.
    Me too, I am gonna have a Power Macintosh G4 Quicksilver tomorrow evening, with a keyboard, mouse and a 23 inches flat monitor. According to its current owner, it also has a PowerPC G4 CPU clocked to 800 MHz, 256 MB of RAM, a 80 GB hard drive and a NVidia GeForce 2 MX graphics card with 32 MB of dedicaded video memory.
    Yours.

    Hey Tom, thank you for all your great videos on these venerable and loved machines. Really enjoyed the PowerMac Quicksilver hackintosh and also worlds fastest BW G3. So my question is have you ever considered hardware for a worlds fastest PowerMac G4 800 Quicksilver? Kind of in the same style as the BW G3 but with the 1999 beast. Curious to your thoughts.

    If anyone can please help: I got a Power Mac G4 (Gigabit Ethernet) yesterday and it worked fine for awhile until after I connected my external HDD. I turned off the system while the HDD was still plugged in, then unplugged, then rebooted the system as normal, only for it to give me the question mark Finder icon.
    I tried pressing Command(alt)+R to enter the same menu that this guy goes into, but it only gives me the two buttons to the side and nothing else. Any help would be appreciated!! 😁

I use a G4 for several years, I run my "Ipod", my music (I am musician, amateur, but musician anyway), etc, and this morning it does not turn on at all. I do not understand why!?! I was wondering if anyone here had an idea of ​​why, or if there is perhaps a reset button to press or something to fix perhaps the thing, let say, easily? I did not find one. Thank you very much in advance for your attention to my problem. Sylvain; Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
