Super nice idea. So cute to see her in there!

I remember your OG iMac destruction video. Glad to see you do a video of another one.

Finally a computer vid from Garret Claridge!

That's adorable, I love how one of your cats truly adors it. Really well worth the time and work into disassembling and cleaning it. Great work!

I'm suprised that it still runs fine Despite the rotten beer that was inside of it My unit was left in a humid place and still works like a champ

Kinda reminds me of the one that The 8-Bit Guy did, Anyway. Looking great garret. Also hope you hit 100k soon. :D

Nice project! I remember seing a picture of one of those on the internet many years ago

man this is just like old youtube content. Love it.

I saw your post on Facebook of the iMac cat house and it was the most adorable thing! I've been watching you since I was about 11 years old (I'm nearly 28 now for context) so it's different seeing you take one apart without the use of a sledgehammer or pickaxe haha. These things are notoriously difficult to disassemble without breaking any of the plastic clips, particularly around the display bezel, so I wouldn't feel too bad about it. They're incredibly brittle at the best of times and this one was clearly put through the wringer already. Love the content!

Hey Garret, that's really cool, seeing the disassembly, too. We gotta get you to the 100k 🔥 Happy new year dude, I'm glad you went this far after all those years!

my parents the blue one growing up. it couldnt play games so i got a repurposed dell pavilion. CRT screens arent to be slept on. if it werent for the weight and size they would still be relevant. just toss the case in the dishwasher to clean it

Really enjoying your repair/reusing videos Garrett! Maybe you could harvest some of those G3 bits if you have any other iMacs. And, of course, implode that ruined CRT ahah.

@Rainbow__cookie

Idk about the life about the crt tho how long it has been on but i would only destroy it if it was a long runner

Strange to see you actualyl take time to take it apart when I'm more used to see you use, well fast violence to "open" things xD Very cute cat house! You could make a homemade 80's arcade machine, MAC edition, from the leftovers.

The idea of someone stealing your install disc binder thinking they just scored a bunch of music only to be disappointed when its just install disc when they got home and opened it is kinda hilarious.

That is a fantastic cat house!😸 And smash the iMac G3! Everyone will get so angry over a computer! 😂

Dude, I remember when you broke the blue one it was such a funny video. I remember in 2014 just watching your channel so often you literally made my childhood again, man

Ahh The Classy Imac G3. Great Idea Bro Instead destroying. Why not build for cat house

Garrett I’ve got the same JVC super bass tube speakers like you had in the shelf haha very cool video man glad to see you’re still making videos after all these years

a different take on "SkunkWare" 😉 adorable kitties those fluffy contortionists will find a way to fit inside "if I fits, i sits"

almost at 100k!. wish you the best luck hitting that milestone

you should blow the speakers and maybe recycle the pc parts into a new pc to see how it works on other pcs

Awesome. I remember the one you destroyed with scar as the wallpaper hahaha

For the Mac i suggest just fixing the broken parts and getting a new case for it

So nice for the kitty 🐈

Beer coated install disc yet the reader works fine That thing is awesome

Hope you're having a great weekend!!

Definitely keep the shell casing for the cat bed. Scrap the guts for parts.

That’s not an iMac G3. It’s actually an iMac DV Lime, with a Power PC processor running at 400 MHz with 512 MB RAM. Original OS: Mac OS 8.6 Later OS: Mac OS 9.0, 9.0.3 or 9.0.4 Maximum OS supported: Mac OS X 10.3.9 (350 MHz) or 10.4.11 Tiger (400 MHz)

FINALLY THE LEGEND IS BACK!

For the iMac, you could try to overvolt the crt and see what happens to it.

Come on now don't be greedy show us some of them good stuff in the background I see some pretty cool speakers I demand more videos pretty pleeeease 🥺

I use to have a blueberry one :3 slot loading one. It was so cool sad that one was ruined

Ah yes, the Steve Jobs tabs and the Jobs-full fan-less non-fan.That'll get that beer cooking.

And your cat actually likes it, that's pretty good! If you ever put that computer on a network (not sure why) you could name it BEER.

Cute cat

Cats fina get rad damage 🤣 🤣 🤣 better get kitty hazmat suits

This reminded me on Garrets video from 2008 "Unoxing my new iMac G3 snow"... i was 10 back when i watched that...

This video reminds me an old smashing iMac video

I think it would be great to make a goofy case out of wood for the internals. Maybe add some big speakers in the case and throw music on it.

For the guts, you should put it outside and leave it on and see how long it lasts.

i didn't even realize garret was still posting. youtube never alerts me.

You do bass test one of them very long time ago

I had a similar one but grape and came with the keyboard and puck mouse, paid £20 but that was also in the dark, got it home and realised it had no logic board. Doh. Never mind, made my money back on the kb/mouse and turned the iMac into a cat bed. Win win!

I think that track was Sofa Surfers Dorfmeister remix. I used to do projection visuals to another track on that album, so I thought one was good anyway.

cats are cute 🥰
