I similarly have a bunch of 2000-2006 era PowerPC Mac hardware from the crazy aesthetic hayday that time was.
The iMac G4, in particular; is such a work of art. I’ve got two.
You can actually get little adapters to put solid state drives in a lot of them, and a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser gets rid of a lot of scuffs and makes things like new.
- wlesieutre 5y agoThe adjustable screens on those were such a cool design, one of my schools had that for the instructor in the computer lab (and eMacs for the students). Weirdly, that G4 "sunflower" form factor was only around for two and a half years (early 2002 to mid 2004). They followed that with the iMac G5 mid 2004, and then swapped the processor to Intel a year and a half later (bummer for anyone who bought that G5), keeping the design unchanged. Then the 2007 redesign with aluminum chin and curved back stuck around for 14 years (from 2007 to 2021), still in production if you don't want the M1.
