Here is my new G5 Quad + 23" ACD. Just picked them up couple of hours ago. Removed most of the dust inside and transferred a bootable SSD from my G5 DC.
Congratz! Quad rocks!

My mid 2001 iMac G3 i use to play retro games, runs beautifully, complete with tons of photos and music from 2004 from the previous owner.
You can. In monitors control panel, you can stretch it horizontal and vertical to fill the space.View attachment 2206362
What resolution is that?
The black border is huge, are you able to adjust the screen edges so that the visible parts reach the edge?
Or is that not possible on a Mac?
They could have gone for 133 × 7.5 but decided to be nice.
Barn macs Love itHere's my Performa 6300. This machine was used by the whole family until I got a B/W G3 450 for Christmas. The Performa sat on a shelf in the basement for a few years before being moved out to the barn for about 20 years or so.
The images from top left to right:
1) 1st boot after sitting in the barn for about 20 years... the original hard disk is alive!
2) Did a system restore with the original disk. There was nothing really of use on the hard disk.
3) This was after installing a sealed new old stock ethernet PDS card and maxing the RAM at 64mb. Took hours of cleaning and retrobrighting. At this point the B/W G3 and Quicksilver G4 were still in the barn. They currently sit on the right of the desk.
4) Using Netscape to download the highest version (4.8) supported on System 7.6.1
5) A place for everything and everything in its place. Really was a nice system to work with.
6) Found a sealed new old stock Apple TV/Video system. Already had the Video system but not the TV system.
7) Partitioned a 128GB SSD into 4 equal drives with System 7.6.1 on the 1st and 9.1.X on the 2nd.
8) Found a sealed new old stock Apple External Video Connector.
9) Had to do it. You can definitionally see the color difference between the monitor and retrobrighted Performa.
10) Everything is full now.
11) Checking to see how many floppies survived. The formatting progress of this particular disk is measured in inches.
12-15) Taking it apart was 1 thing. Remembering how it all goes back together was a different story.
16) The whole setup sometime in 2021. Installed some of the games from physical media and original boxes that were surprisingly kept. The G3/G4 were moved from the barn but not started yet. The G3 was mine and the G4 was dad's.
... I've also seen people stick little heatsinks on the VRAM chips to help.
Very well could have been that faulty IDE controller chip that shipped with the first revision B&W G3 systems.That's a nice G3. Be careful with that door latch... mine broke. Does your Zip drive work? Mine never worked even when it was new. Never could figure it out. Tried playing with the jumper settings and both connectors on a few ribbon cables. A couple years ago I got a couple used drives on Ebay that worked in the G4 BUT not in the G3. Just weird. Maybe it needs some kind of sacrifice.
On an unrelated note... I may have stopped using the computer as a daily driver BUT never stopped using the keyboard. It's still my daily driver. Use it between my MacPro 5,1 and a gamming PC I built.
Probably. It's a rev A board.Very well could have been that faulty IDE controller chip that shipped with the first revision B&W G3 systems.
Is that the actual original iPod Touch (a.k.a the 3rd Gen)? The taste is classy with this one.
Reminds me that I should update the space the Six Dollar eMac lives; include my 3rd Gen in it. More on this later.
Love mine as well which still works considering its age. I occasionally bring it into the office with my Sears Courier briefcase & Canon Palmtronic 8 for the curious youngins on my team. Such a fan of the red LEDs.Thank you, and yes it is a 3rd gen that still holds a charge and works somewhat xD Even though it's mostly docked up, I still do take it out and listen to it from time to time. I prefer this look to the old one.
Yes, you definitely should. Updates are good.
Well, I'm blind evidently Yep, the zip drive works great on this machine. I don't use the on-board ATA even though it is a revB. I use a flashed 3512 sata card (Weibetech flashing utility) and a Zetac 128gb SSD in this B&W. It takes a few seconds for the PCI card to be recognized but then quickly boots into Tiger via the SSD.That's a nice G3. Be careful with that door latch... mine broke. Does your Zip drive work?

Love this. And the speakers!View attachment 2258536
Well... What do you think of this? 4x the holy grail in 20", two are boxed, one without HDD and one is as external monitor connected to a M1 Mini.
Nice machine! Congrats!View attachment 2267630
Picked up this little guy today…saved from a landfill…the company was throwing out a pallet of them and said grab what you want 😲 it’s in great shape to although the fan is so loud when it comes on.. .I don’t remember them ever being this loud. Anyone heard there’s spin up? Does it sound like vacuum cleaner? Louder then my PowerBook..Now to figure out what to do with it 🤔
