@@TiggerLyOneThe Mac Pro that directly followed this computer is not futuristic if it hails from the late 2000s, computers have changed so little since then. Minimalism in gray scale colors is the new beige, even if it's not hideous like beige.

Time to upgrade to dual 1.42s or a Sonnet card!

Rammstein!! 🤘🏻 from Germany 🇩🇪 to the World, greetings to all Metalheads!

I have two of these in my collection at home. Still hard to believe they're 20+ years old and look so modern.

You really nailed “early 2000s American advertiser” voice in that segment

A little bit of Rammstein will always make any computer video better!

My first Mac was a G4 MDD, a dual 1.25 GHz model. I bought it in 2006 and sold it in 2008 so I could upgrade to an '06 Mac Mini 1.83 GHz Core Duo. I loved that machine to bits. It came with an SCSI controller card, useful for my Yamaha A5000 sampler I owned back then. I added a USB 2.0 card, a second DVD burner (which had LightScribe) and expanded the RAM to 2GB it was a fine machine for the time. Btw, the small fan is cooling the optical drive cage.

I still prefer, in some ways, the QuickSilver model as they were slightly less noisy, and they looked a bit more minimalistic design-wise vs. the MDD. I have a few of these in various states of repair. One of my systems has a label on it that suggested that it was maxed out at purchase time - 2GB RAM, ti4200 4x120GB drives and a superdrive. Although none of the original drives, and only some of the original RAM was left, the Ti4200 was still present. The system you have is fortunately the FW400 model which still natively supports Mac OS 9, and is the last and one of the fastest ways to run the old OS.

I've got a Quicksilver 2002 @ 800MHz that still works well enough. In 2009 I ordered a Sonnet Allegro USB-2 PCI card that gave me multiple USB-2 ports. Recommended!

I have a quicksilver 2001 867mhz. It’s pretty nice. I upgraded the GPU to a Radeon 9000 pro 128mb to replace the 32mb GeForce 2 MX. The GeForce is faster in UI acceleration l, but the Radeon is noticeably faster in games. I’ve also added a USB 2.0 card. I plan to add a wifi card at some point. And possibly a SATA controller to boot sorbet leopard faster.

I had four of these versions, the Dual 1.25 GHZ model and held onto them till 2011. I absolutely loved this model, and it was incredibly powerful and a stunning design. When I worked as a graphic designer, this is all we had in our studio at the time and it was amazing. I ended scoring a few and used them as an XBMC/Kodi Server, a Network Renderer, Fileshare Server, and then one for my home music studio as I had a lot of Firewire interfaces. My second favorite was the PowerMac G5 which was stunningly designed and so compatible with a lot of hardware out there. This is when I loved Apple; when they still innovated and lead with not only beautifully designed machines outside, but also inside.

His talking style often leads me to believe he just isn't capable of having emotions until he adds silly little bits like the G4 promo vid at the end lol I loved it

Great job cleaning that Powermac G4 up. I was also surprised updates to the OS could still be downloaded on it as well.

SorbetLeopard runs much better on these machines than regular Leopard. Tiger and Panther are where it will shine, however. If you want any reasonable attempt at modern web browsing / KZread playback, SorbetLeopard is your best bet. I've been able to play video at 240p from KZread on a similar setup

Because these suck power like crazy, my dad would often shut the MMD G4 down after being done with it. So very regularly I'd hear the boot chime, and in a small apartment, especially as a kid, it was a real jump scare. It was, and will always be, so unexpectedly loud.

Amazing talent true legend never forgot love older tech great review 😀❤

Rammstein was completely unexpected, lol. Awesome!

i love your videos they make my day and its so inspiring!

I recently disassembled two older blue and white G4s, and it’s interesting to see how different the internal side panels look. These later models have lot more perforations, I’m guessing because these heated up a lot more. As a matter of fact, and IIRC, this particular model was nicknamed the “wind tunnel G4” because of the insane fan noise it made.

Super timing of the video, just been given one free! Super retro mac! 👌 🍏 Great content as always. 👍

I'm in love with this thing!

This is really great. These were amazing machines back in the day.

I built these and set several of the build’s factory standards for apple’s Sacramento California, Cork Ireland, and Singapore factories where these were made. This model was called P57 internally and was the subject of several lawsuits involving coworkers. It was many firsts for apple, and I remember everyone putting their fingers in the holes on the bottom asking if they were fan vents or ports, no, they were nothing lol.

Used to have an older version of the powermac g4 and that thing was a space heater

I've got a couple of these still. A last gen dual 1.42GHz and a dual 1.25. The power supplies are flaky, but they're really cool. My 1.42 still gets simi-regular use as my DVD ripping rig. Mac The Ripper is still free for PowerPC machines and 4x 400GB internal HDDs make for plenty of space. Obviously newer and faster dual Superdrives make ripping a piece of cake.

Amazing! I took the same model from trash 2years ago and started a project similar to mvv blog one! Great machine! Excellent design, very cool!

I loved this mac so much

I like how clear it is.

the yearbook class in my school had these machines, i was so jealous at how futuristic they looked

Great to see a Mirror Door getting some love. I really like the look of the Mirror Door and the G3 Blue and White. I have a dual 1.25GHz MDD that I got in a bunch of G4 PowerMacs. Since owning it I have put in a FW800 PCI card and USB 2.0 card and put new thermal paste on it. Eventually I'll replace the case fans with quieter ones.

Love this MDD G4 pros! You’ve got the final of the 3 versions of this machine, and the very last apple that can natively run OS9! The first 2 versions had many fewer air holes at the back, as well as different front designs.

That was awesome The video you made within this video made the video worth it!! It was awesome

I bought this computer my freshman year in college and the bookstore computer employees were so excited to see one show up that they helped me carry it to my dorm. It was an amazing (but loud) computer.

finnaly a new one! 8:13 for the foam Noctua add this like 1 years ago just check the size it's look like 60x60 fan so the foam you need is around 70-80 range

I don't know why, but it struck me as EXTRAORDINARILY funny when you put the speakers on both sides of the computer rather than both sides of the monitor. My sweet summer child.

Wonderful video as always! And great music and video on that old Mac! Do you ever get snow in Adelaide during the winter?

The Runscape music in the outro was a wonderful touch!

Nice video very informative I still have one of these MACs and use it to scan film with my Nikon cool scan still works like a charm!

I love that camera I need one NOW

I actually turned this particular model into a lightup drink dispenser. Gutted the inside, installed a pull-style metal tap through the speaker hole in the front, wired white LEDs into the corners of all 4 handles, mounted a motorized air pump inside, ran a inlet tube from the pump to a custom 3D-printed cap which forces air into the drink container, and another tube that runs from the container towards the front to the tap spout. And finally, an electric sensor hidden in the handle that when pulled, activates the motor. Motor forces air into bottle, which forces liquid out the bottle and through the tap spout. Also a master switch in the back that turns on power and LEDs. Unfortunately it works much better with non-carbonated drinks (soda and beer comes out sort of flat).

Had one of those. They REALLY pumped out a huge amount of heat. No comparison to recent Macs that run very cool.

This is on my wishlist for my collection

Also, these games are pretty tame culturally and a great alternative for kids.

Thank you so much 😊

I started using Final Cut Pro on a Quicksilver G4, I can still remember the buzz of installing OSX for the first time. Great vid!

Nice machine! I’ve got a single core re-release MDD that was sold alongside the new G5. Such a great design.

my little 10 year old mind was absolutely blown watching the mac os x leopard boot intro, its one of the things that got me pc in the first place

I still have my Quicksilver. It's so painfully slow with Leopard... But Tiger runs so smooth on this machine.

omg the footage of the camera looks hist like the 90´s. so nice whatßs still possible keep it up

I really need to get my hands on one of these, I have a crt 21' studio monitor and its settings can only be adjusted with one of these old macs

Glad too see you got this one running too! It was really temperamental when I had it too lol

Good video. I bought the exact same Mac as you and a Apple display that used DVI video for $150. A computer shop convinced him to recycle it and he was going to bring it to them. I am glad that I was able to save it.

Great video!

Surprised that these things are even still around. And much more repair friendly than the latest M2 powered iMac's!

Wasn't expecting you to play Rammstein 🤝 man of culture

Psivewri, bro be on apple's marketing team, I love that mock ad you did. 😂

When the case is closed, the small fan on the door (next to the motherboard) snugs up to the optical drives to cool them. This is why there are ventilation holes all over the optical drive cage.

The drawbridge-PowerMac G3/G4 case design was an absolute classic - very aesthetically pleasing but also so simple,and easy to access and upgrade. Another era. I owned and used various versions between 2000 until about 2016 when I sold my last ProTools rig that still ran like a dream. Was just a shame that the G5’s thermals were never going to work in that neat, compact case. I remember getting my Dual G5/2GHz in 2003 and being shocked at the size of the tower. Mind you, for AU$7000 at the time, at least you were getting a ‘lot’ of computer 😂

Great design no doubt.

This makes me very nostalgic... still have my Quicksilver that I bought in August 2001 and it still boots...

love the videos

AHHH reminds me of my blue G4 PowerPC tower......still sitting under my desk and refuse to get rid of ! One of the LAST AFFORDABLE UPGRADABLE Mac's ever made ! Anything on it could be upgraded and was !! Emphasis on AFFORDABLE !!! And had the matching blue monitor which Apple fixed at one point even though it was out of warranty. So cool looking !! Miss all those games I use to play !

I had almost this exact setup from 2002-2007, except it was the QuickSilver Mac, not the mirror door one. Same monitor, which still fires up after all these years. It was super futuristic 20 years ago..

Never owned this mac, but this model was the first mac I've ever used in my life back when I was in primary school.

I remember lusting after one of these when they were current. I could never justify the price given how much "work" I was going to be doing with it. In the end, once my workload matured, I skipped right over this and got the G5. What an utter nightmare that machine proved to be. That was when I left Macs for my DAW, thankfully PC DAWs had also matured.

honestly, im always entertained watching you restore old tech, but where do you keep you're colelctions? do a vid on it, hahaha

You’re lucky your loud fan spin problem was RAM related. That issue is usually power supply or CPU card related but could honestly be nearly anything and is almost impossible to debug. Mine’s issue was probably the CPU card, but I am planning on converting it to a sleeper PC.

It's amazing how teams from so many years ago can age so well. They gave me a computer a week ago, an imac from mid-2007, it did not turn on and it was just cleaning it, I would like to update the cpu to do more tests but it is difficult to find them for sale.

I think you put the perfect amount of thermal paste better than Tronics fix 😂 good video. there’s no form of like retro bright that you can do on that. What does that only work on computers that have paint on it? Hey that look like a cool little commercial I like the part where you stuck your tongue out in the mirror 😂 also I gave it that old 90s look

Love to see a new vid

11:51 best auto-tune voice crack I ever heard.

We had one of these in our office and it ran very hot and the cooling fans were so noisy that we couldn't stand to use it for more than a few minutes at a time. It was a great space heater.
