A very nifty PCCard-to-IDE-adapter which fits two CFCards directly as master/slave to the IDE port of my #PowerMacG4. #MARCHintosh

A silver Power Mac G4 Mirror Drive Doors tower sits on the left side of a desk next to a black and silver 5:4 Dell LCD monitor. The monitor shows Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger with a web browser open to the SpaceHey website (a modern version of the classic MySpace website) and the “About This Mac” window visible, listing Mac OS X version 10.4.11, a dual 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 processor configuration, and 2 MB of L3 cache per processor. The wallpaper on the desktop is a tiger fur pattern, referencing the operating system codename “Tiger”. In front of the monitor is an Apple keyboard and an Apple mouse on the desk. The setup is in an unfinished basement with exposed wooden framing and pink insulation visible in the background. The lighting is low and warm, provided by a nearby desk lamp out of frame.
This was my first #mac. It’s been a part of my collection for around 13 years now! #vintagemac #oldmac #vintageapple #oldcomputer #powerpc #powerpcmac #powermacg4 #powermac #macosx #macosxtiger #spacehey

For the UI, I think I'll give Window Maker a spin. It was my favorite X11 window manager back when I spent more time in X11.

Before I crack into the Mac Classic, I've decided to bring my PowerMac G4 (Quicksilver w/ Mirrored Drive Doors) back into service as an OpenBSD server. Was contemplating bringing it back as a Mac OS 9 system, but I'd rather it be useful in the modern era.

The Mac with it's side door open, showing the fan setup described in the above post.
No idea. Mounted the small rubber shroud for the rear fan from the Quicksilver, as opposed to the plastic shield that holds the fan in the Digital Audio, and I've mounted a 120mm fan on top pointing out, Intel cooler style. I don't honestly think heat is the […]

It is entirely possible that what is actually happening is it's going to sleep, and then failing to wake up (which I think is a side effect of the modded ATX power supply). I've now slid the sleep timer in the Energy Saver panel to Never, but I'm too dumb and impatient to wait and see if this […]

A collection of vintage Apple computers is neatly arranged in a basement workspace with unfinished walls lined with pink insulation. The machines are placed on and around a beige desk with a wood-themed vinyl floor beneath. On the floor in the foreground sits a Graphite iMac G3 facing the camera. To the left of it is a Shuttle XPC cube, and to the right are three Power Mac G4 towers in a row: a Quicksilver, a Mirrored Drive Doors (MDD), and a Graphite model. Furthest to the right is an aluminum Mac Pro. On top of the desk are various Apple laptops and desktops. From left to right: a Lime iBook G3 Clamshell is open and angled toward the camera. Behind it, partially obscured by the laptops, is a white iMac G4. Next to the iBook G3 is a 12-inch PowerBook G4, followed by a 15-inch PowerBook G4, and then a 12-inch iBook G4, all open and arranged in a tidy row. Behind them is a large 24-inch Sun Microsystems LCD monitor, which is connected to a Power Mac G5 tower sitting on the right. On top of the Power Mac G5 is a PowerBook G3 “Pismo” model.
My current #powerpcmac lineup! #ibookg3 and #ibookg4, #powerbookg4 and #powerbookg3, #powermacg4 and #powermacg5, #imacg3 and #imacg4, and a #shuttlexpc and #macpro for good measure!

Three vintage Apple Power Mac G4 towers are lined up side by side on a light wood-style vinyl floor. They are positioned near a desk with exposed computer cables underneath, and unfinished pink fiberglass insulation on the wall behind them. From left to right, the first machine is a Power Mac G4 Graphite model, featuring a translucent smoky gray front panel with vertical ribbing, a tray-loading optical drive, a circular speaker grille, and a white Apple logo near the top. A white asset sticker from an electronics recycler is affixed to the front. Next is the Power Mac G4 Quicksilver, which has a sleeker, metallic silver faceplate with rounded edges. The front panel includes two optical drive bays and a circular speaker port. It also has a white asset label on the front from the same recycler. The third tower is the Power Mac G4 MDD (Mirrored Drive Doors), distinguished by its mirrored drive bay cover, silver circular power button, and four small vertical ventilation slots near the bottom of the front panel. It does not have a recycler label on the front, as it has been in my collection since 2012. All three systems share the iconic translucent polycarbonate handles and curvy aesthetic characteristic of early 2000s Apple hardware.
Look what followed me home today! The two #powermacg4 systems on the left, I found for cheap, and compliment the MDD (on the right) I’ve had since 2012! #powermac #retrocomputer #oldcomputer #vintageapple #retromac #vintagemac #macos9 #2000snostalgia #powerpc #powerpcg4 #powermacintosh #powerpcmac

Yay! 🥰 Fujitsu Magneto Optical Disk (MO Disk) Drive in our PowerMac G4 Dual Core "Quicksilver", ready and operational thanks to @luna.gateta.systems
Trying icon tinkering, I like it aesthetically speaking.

Typical late #90s / early #2000s office photo. This was a time of #dial-up / #ISDN internet, TFT panels were still too expensive and your desk was cluttered by #ZIP disks and #CD-ROMs from time to time :)

I was gifted a #powermacg4 & those old #lucasartsgames have always been on my backlog so I needed to upgrade my #mac. Maxed out the RAM at 4GB and ordering a new battery for the motherboard. I want to replace the #harddrive to #ssd eventually. I need to blow air into this thing… #macgaming

I’m still learning how to navigate this #powermacg4, switching between OS9 & OSX was confusing & making an image of #indianajonesfateofatlantis so I don’t have to keep the #cd in the machine. My Mac games are up to three. #radical #retro

I don’t collect #pc or #Mac games but I wanted something new to play on my #powermacg4 so I bought a disc copy of #indianajones #fateofatlantis. To all sellers out there: For the love of God, please ship cds in something a little bit more sturdy than a cardboard sleeve. #gaming #fail
