When you said it only had issues with two titles and those two game titles are very popular for the DC. I was OOF!! Another reason to keep the original PSU in is if you ever want to run your DC with the Karaoke addon (probably the same for the zip drive addon too.) I'm not 100 certain on exact dates, but, a high up staff member in Japan who heavily supported the DC (had his face on the initial console boxes in Japan.) Well when he died, apparently, he set money from his vast estate side to keep the DC supported in Japan until like 2007 or something.

Great video The Ethernet included was part of base model or did you bought for $30

hahahaha the sexy albino man 😎 Great video. I love these iMacs. I'm so pleased Apple went back to the iMac G3 roots and introduced all the wonderful colours. They look so much more attractive than the old silver intel machines in my opinion. Interesting to see the performance of the base model 8 core. I must admit, I think this is a bit of a cursed configuration in terms of Apples pricing structure. It's that classic Apple thing where the standard price of the base model is very attractive and that machine makes a lot of sense for those who can deal with the 256GB, but as soon as you start to increase the storage, it makes less and less sense. For instance, this machine was £1529.00 as a result of the upgrade to 512GB and ethernet. The higher end 10-core model with 512GB as default is only £1699.00. So, for only £170.00 more, they could get the faster machine with the 10 core CPU and 10 core GPU, they'd get the same amount of storage, but they'd also get the extra 2 Thunderbolt ports which I think is the biggest thing here. Especially coming from an Intel iMac where the ports are plentiful, I would have definitely spent that extra money to get the 4x Thunderbolt ports... not for the bandwidth or capabilities of the increased number of TB ports specifically, more for just the increased amount of physical connectors on the iMac. The 4 port model is usable without a breakout dongle to integrate into a setup. Having said that, there'd be no real noticeable difference between the 8 core and 10 core machines for day to day use and general computing I don't think. If their setup doesn't require much I/O then it makes sense to save the £170.00, but when you're spending £1500.00+ on a machine to begin with, it's only a tiny amount more money for quite a bit more machine. Thinking as I type, but it also sounds like they're the type of people to make their computer last as long as possible, using Open Core etc on the old iMac, so there's also an argument to made that when these machines get years old and slow down, the extra 2 cores on CPU / GPU would help them a little there... unless support becomes an issue before the actual slowdown of the machine as a result of spec. It's hard to predict how EOL is going to actually feel on Apple Silicon. Anyway. Huge comment. Big thanks for the shoutout dude, really cool that you got to have the unboxing experience on someone else's machine here!

5:50 "There's no firewire! What the F is that all about?"

I used to have a base model M1 iMac (actual base model with nothing upgraded) and it wasn't a bad computer. My only complaints were that the 256GB storage didn't go too far, especially with Final Fantasy XIV needing to be installed on local storage, and there only being two USB-C ports. My current M3 iMac (8GB, 512GB storage, 4 USB-C ports) has been a much better machine.

Wait where'd all your old videos go? I loved those videos (I still love your current videos of course)

You’ve got a good knack for this, hope your channel takes off!

youre STILL making mac videos? wow did i just get transported back to 2009

Over the screen this iMac looks incredibly flimsy and lightweight. I don't know, but to me it feels kind of cheap.

You say “actual” and “actually” at least double the average

I’m using OpenCore on my Mac, I’m running macOS Sequoia on my Mac

That's cool but my ultimate Dreamcast would still be able to play discs

Lovely stuff here. I’ve learnt a good bit about the DC mods watching this! I bought the fan mod bits a good few years with good intentions, but ended up using the fan itself in a pinch elsewhere. I may still do it, just don’t know when I’ll be pulling the Dreamcast out next. Clear shell DC and Xbox look great together! Looking forward to the follow up on this one.

Dang, I remembered UT2004 with better graphics (I loved that game) And the first time I played it wasn't long ago, it was like in 2019

Engine oil?!?! 😮

Re: UT2k4: Coincidentally, picked up a complete retail box version at a thrift store yesterday. Would be in, depending on the time!

Since Unreal tournament 2004 uses ue2 engine u can use this cmd stat fps 1. Figure i share it if anyone don't know that ur all Welcome. I never run Mac version if u can get in ini file then u can manually tweak it and turn vsync off or on.

Myself, i've always liked the good Ol' pointing a camera at the screen, don't know why, i prefer that, just always have, but nice upgrading to the production quality man! it might be nice to have a mix of both. some more longer ramble intesive videos, and some like this. PS: Hope you manges to clean that disc up :P

Love these first gen Intel Macs, Tiger absolutely flies on them!

I really don't like how much people crap on optical media. It wasn't bad, just slower than you're used to. A floppy disk, now those are unbearable to use.

I'm glad you're using Tiger, too many people install Leopard and Snow Leopard on these machines.

The opening every application thing was something our local apple store used to do a lot, the guy did it when I was looking at my first Mac Mini. Tiger, leopard and snow leopard were so stable. Bet it would bring a modern Mac OS to its knees.

Do the server, im in :E

Aaawww, immediately have to play UT99 now ^^

can I have it for my Mac collection ?? ive got the 24/27 of the same model boxed as new.....

im watching and I hear CD IS BAD and I laugh that's quite funny and my god the start up to tiger ive not seen in years either. that's awesome that we got her going on OSX.....

Coool

Hey man, glad to see you are still out there 😊

Why oh why would you put Windoze on an old Mac …

i have always wanted to start my own computer repair business but ive had no luck. i simply have no funds. currently saving up for an macbook

21:32 the moan 😂

just wanted to ask how do you get your business on google they wont let me when i work from home

Try oclp for new versions

‼️Never knew the Soyjak meme had an accent 🫃🏻

Wow, I had recently messed with same age mac mini 2,1 (A1114, EMC 2108) and faced the same issues with OS installation. Already mentioned bootefi32 or Windows 10 through Windows Vista upgrade. Suddenly for Linux's it was easier - rufus software (under Windows) flashed ISO to USB in GPT (UEFI) + hybrid/DD mode. Mac mini have no problem recognizing and booting Linux from such USB-stick. Also some other ISO-based utils I was able to boot from USB prepared with YUMI Multiboot tool. With very original one the old versions, not with late YUMI-UEFI or recent YUMI-exFAT. Well I guest for Old piece use Old stuff. Though for some murky reasons the ISOs boots really slow, like USB 1.0 or even slower.

Good job

I really like your presenting style. You speak well with good modulation and not monotone/boring. Equally, you explain things well. Unfortunately though I now want to get one of these and stick Windows or Linux on it to use as an SDR server. Probably a bit overkill for that application, but hey ho!

I hate MacBook I like windows 11

Need a meme of the "Weee" sound. would be fun. I rewound it 3 times for my daily funny.

Can I have that Imac

You could have used Adelíe Linux disc maybe?

can i get the vista iso pls

What happened to your original 1300 you had as a teenager

I gave one of these (G5, non-Insight) to my mom back in the day ... just for her email and online shopping. (An eBay "not working" bargain that just needed a new power supply.) It worked for a very long time... until there were no longer useful browsers that ran under Leopard. There was a Firefox spinoff called Arctic Fox that did the trick for a few extra years, but eventually it couldn't handle secure e-commerce sites. Never had a hardware problem - it was the single available browser that eventually aged out.

can you tell us more in detail how to set up ventoy as I've tried numerous times and cant get it set up like yours.

What are your plans for this machine? I bought a 2012 iMac off eBay a while ago, the owner had upgraded the RAM to 32gb, which was a nice surprise. But the first thing I did was put Steam on it. It can just about handle the 2012 Tomb Raider.

Chuck the mobo and retro fit a mac mini into it. 👍🏻
