Toot

I picked up these two old #apple #powermac G4s. I’m trying to revive them. I bought an old VGA monitor for €5, and for the same amount 2 hard drives. One of the computers seems to have a broken video card, and the other one’s dvd drive is not working as it should. Anyway, great fun to tinker with.

In the mean time I’m listening to #top2000 on Dutch #radio2

@HendrikLinde That case is amazing. So easy to just pop open, so many drive bays and extra plugs for additional drives… If the Intel switch hadn’t happened, I’d still have been using mine for a few more years I’m sure.

@HendrikLinde (FastMac also sold some neat CPU and GPU upgrades)
