All of my Macs and Their Uses (2016 Edition) | IMNC

[@dosdude1]

If I remember right, when you had taken that G4 Mac Mini apart to clean it, you re-installed the fan upside down. That's more than likely what's causing it's issues.

[@tschuuuls486]

+dosdude1 but it acted up before ;) And there was no dust in the case.

[@TheAverythomas01]

+Julian Doll Most likely the hard drive or other temperature sensors acting up.

[@tschuuuls486]

+Avery Thomas that could be the case. Might need an advanced apple hardware test ;)

[@TheAverythomas01]

+Julian Doll did he not that?

[@tschuuuls486]

I don't think so.

[@TheGrayWolf81]

I got a 2012 MacBook Pro quad-core i5 model in Sept of 2015, and nearly a year later (after having problems after problems), it gave out on me in Sept of 2016. I had previously gone to the Apple store to get it "repaired" about 10 times, but none of those times did they fix anything. Even the last time, before it died, when I got it back, it was actually returned to me in worse condition than before I handed it over for repairs (it had a huge dent in it for whatever reason). Right before it completely gave out on me, it was just going crazy; it wouldn't charge whatsoever, because even though it was at 27% (right before it gave out on me), the MagSafe charger was green (showing that it was fully charged even though it wasn't). It would also spontaneously shut off completely without warning, causing me to lose anything I was working on because it wouldn't save anything. And the more I tried to use it, its on-time would consistently decrease, until it finally gave out on me (I was desperately attempting to backup all of my files before it gave out completely). So, after it was completely dead and useless, I went to the Apple store only for them to point me into the direction of the MacBook Airs, and to insist that I buy a new MacBook Air as a replacement... I got very angry, but continued to ask them about my data on my HDD, since I couldn't back it up. And they responded that it would cost me $100 or so for them to backup my data. I got even more angry and in a sense started to yell at them because this wasn't fair whatsoever. And they might've gotten the notion because they came back with an Apple bag, and handed me a receipt with a total of $0. I looked in the bag and there it was: a brand new 2015 MacBook Pro. Honestly it was both an upgrade and a downgrade, in a sense that it had a better screen, WAY better battery life, better selection of ports, and was thinner, but it was a dual-core i5 model with 120GB storage, which was a little upsetting because my original MacBook Pro had a quad-core and 500GB of storage. I can't really complain much, since I got an absolute free replacement, but with the loss of all of my important files. I have now learned to store all of my files on an external HDD, because there is close to no space on my new MBP, but is useful in case something bad happens to it, because then I have a backup. Well I'm glad I let that all out lol. I am sure no one got to the end of my novel which I just wrote :D

[@DylanChng]

ItsMyNaturalColour and the 8 bit guy should met up

[@tekdomination8909]

Absolutely

[@bpali2001]

I just got a free G4 from '99. Its the 400mhz with rage 128. A beast of a machine. Also has win98 via virtualpc

[@yanksrock1000]

Wow, such a nice collection! And I know what you mean about being attached to some computers. My first laptop was a 2008 Aluminum Macbook, and I sold it on eBay to fund my next laptop. Always have a soft spot now for those.

[@macmanipowermacbookprair4110]

Really like the PowerBook G4 12". I understand the problems with the MDD. Last year I tried to edit a 720P video on a 2,3 DP G5, it was hard.

[@alfhonikmusic]

I really wish the Mac Pro was around, I loved it. You were so happy when you un-boxed that thing, it was brilliant!

[@jamesarrol3880]

the plans you have about fixing the flower power mac with your dad sounds interesting, I look forward to seeing that, as always, great vid.

[@mallard44681]

Another great video thank you for showing us around your collection

[@woodylog5555]

Still using an early 2008 with the same specs as yours, if you have an SSD, stick it in there, mine is quite fast with a 15 second boot time.

[@tipoomaster]

Does your rMBP bottom creak at all? I don't know if I was just unlucky with some build quality issues, minor but annoying in a 2700 dollar machine...Bottom creaks around the right middle screw which seems loose, the black hinge clutch creaks and pops when pressed, and when the lid is closed it's a millimetre or two from being flush with the body.

[@ChazerMCR]

Been waiting for this one Tom! :D Can't wait to see the new office setup!

[@dark147891]

Its 2021 and I'm still using my macbook pro 2008 it's running el captain and everything up to date and it's very snappy for it's age awesome laptop

[@JZB-2022]

I had that exact 15" early 2008 MacBook Pro, but like all MacBook Pros of the time, it died of a design flaw in the cooling solution. The same thing happened later with my 17" model. I was able to temporarily able to fix the 17" by dropping it bottom down from about 2 feet.

[@JZB-2022]

And, it literally died in its sleep.

[@iloihplar]

For the Mac mini g4, have you already tried putting new thermal compound on the processor?

[@favoovis]

9:42 Did you overclock the CPU?

[@The_Laser_Channel]

I think the PowerBook G3 (the black one) is the Kanga or the Wallstreet...(Mac #7)

[@KylesVideos]

Is there any update on the PowerPC Promise footage? As a Loyal subscriber, I would still be interested in seeing it all these years later. Keep up the great work!

[@tipoomaster]

Any idea of the total power draw of all combined? Or do you want to think about that, lol :P

[@techtipsuk]

What mobo does your hackintosh use?

[@issiewizzie]

My Mac Pro 16 gig 15 inch is being delivered today I'm still contemplating the AppleCare this will be my first Mac

[@jasonalmont7572]

What a killer collection. Why no iMac G4s? I'm in the middle of a 20" nuc hackintosh conversion and I love the iMac G4.

[@TimurTripp2]

+Jason Almont You can Hackintosh an iMac G4 if you simply think it looks neat. But if you actually love it, you can't do that. A Hackintosh is not an iMac G4 to love, it's a different identity with a deceiving appearance. To love an iMac G4 is to max out the RAM, put in an SSD, attach Apple Pro Speakers, install Mac OS X Leopard. And then, it will love you back to the best of its ability.

[@jasonalmont7572]

+Timur Tripp I agree, I've got one complete iMac G4 that'll never come apart and then this 20" that came to me in pieces that's getting the hackintosh treatment just so I can get some modern use out of a design I love just like the imnc powermac g4. I'd never destroy a complete working G4.

[@TimurTripp2]

+Jason Almont Ok, at least it's not a complete iMac G4, unlike the nice Power Mac G5 which fell victim on "The PowerPC Hub". I have 2x 15" 700 MHz original, and really regret not bidding higher on a like-new 20" I saw on eBay a few months back.

[@bobbyharris490]

1:20 I thought that was a G3, but I did have one of thoses

[@obseletion]

Coll video Tom :) Though I don't think PowerPC Macs are that dead. I reckon so long as you don't go into it expecting to be able to use them for everything you'd do on an Intel mac, and you're aware of what does and doesn't work, and willing to make some sacrifices, they can be great. And people make stuff to help out like TenFourFox, YouView, that funky transmission version that supports magnet links, there's even a workaround to get Skype working on OS's as old as Panther. And Spofity still works, though it's a bit weird sometimes.

[@shakon911]

Nice Collection man...

[@MaxSebastien]

That 2008 MBP is definitely one of the best MBP of all time !!!

[@Gamez4eveR]

Wouldn't a 650-750W PSU be a better choice for your Hackintosh? As in efficiency. That system is not getting 500 watts at any load.

[@3key859]

with his ppc promise g4, retro gaming PC? try the challenge this year?

***** ikr...

[@johnsmith-qn2gd]

ok, but it was blatant that he was english

[@RWL2012]

Alberto Combi One of my former friends was Welsh (first language fluent), and his English was almost as good (he would occasionally ask me what a word meant), but his English voice was amazing! Maybe a slight "lick" but really well spoken!

[@johnsmith-qn2gd]

***** i know, some brits have a stronger accent than others, and he just happens to be one

[@xanpagebrown]

are you welsh tom??

[@ToddsNerdCave]

Damn, Tom, you got a boatload of PowerPC Mac's.The sad thing is that I have owned most of those machines back in the day when they were current. lol.

[@vb7200]

You may still have a chance with the PPC Promise. My PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz can still manage to do some things decently, browse the web, go on Facebook, (even play youtube videos!) and a bunch of other things, and it's only running on the minimum of RAM (512MB) Imagine what it'd be with it's max 2 GB. 1.5 isn't even as fast as they made them, the 1.67 is faster and has a better video card as well. I would see if you can find a Power Mac G5 if you were to ever think of doing it again, it'd be awesome to try and get one of the Twin Dual-Core 2.5 G5's for it, if you could find one that doesn't break the bank of course.

[@blooder81]

bought used emac g4 1.25ghz for 25€. right now it has 1.25mb ddr400 the rest is stock.

[@danieladamczyk08]

15:59 Drummer?

[@Hikarmeme]

My mac collection so far: iMac core 2 duo late 2006, File server mostly Blackbook, unknown cpu, 2006. Trading for an unopened studio display iBook G3 Clamshell, Graphite special edition. My main laptop, used for light browsing and school work only Soon to own a G4 cube, not sure what I'll use it for yet

[@andrewowen7281]

Why no love for the Sawtooth G4s?

[@eliasvanloon]

please tell me he uses the hackintosh for gaming?

[@bullisc]

keep up the good work.

[@Gmoney6422]

did he sell the mac pro?

[@caysonsteward5150]

yes

[@pumpkinheadspiegaming8314]

IMNC, do you want an original, working Macintosh 2?

[@borisdg]

As I remember your PSU is Seasonic 760W, not 1KW :)

[@paulolpop6086]

I have the same exact iMac G3 except I have it in Snow.

[@paulolpop6086]

Identical to the flower power, that is.

[@ellipseelectronique1651]

Can you make a 2018 edition ?

[@jackpressley7849]

I HAVE A MAC BOOK PRO 2007 ANY TIME LINE OF HOW LONG IT WILL LAST

[@industrys4092]

+CAT MAN should last you about 2-4 more years. but really depends what you need it for.

[@jackpressley7849]

+༺༒wolfspider༒༻ NOT MUCH REALLY THO I JUST DO UTUBE AND FB

[@industrys4092]

then yeah should last you a while longer but would recommend something a little newer CAT MAN

[@MrAntematkovic]

+༺༒wolfspider༒༻ probably wont last that long -> 8600m. Watching hd videos on them really brings the temps up.. Even after cleaning etc. They are great machines but sadly the gpu is very unreliable, better of selling it and getting a macbook or macbook pro unibody(9400/9600m).

[@jackpressley7849]

+༺༒wolfspider༒༻ YAH I JUST NEED A COPULE OF YEARS OUT OF IT

[@alexmurdie9478]

Heh, I got s mid 07 Mac mini but mine is 2ghz 2gb ram and 120gb HDD had it sine new and has never skipped a beat, only upgraded because max so is lion on them. And the graphics does drag it down.

[@MrVitalic85]

why did you sell the mac pro ?? Its a tank

[@CoffeeOnRails]

You say about using a laptop to do school work before it was acceptable, I use a laptop (Dell Latitude E6410 if anyone cares) and I constantly am bullied/penalised/made fun of for using it. So, nothing has really changed.

[@CoffeeOnRails]

***** True, however I used an E6410 for over two years, and people took the piss because its more than 0.1 cm thick.

[@kevinakerberg]

Nothing wrong with an E6410. Older Latitudes are great bargains

[@CoffeeOnRails]

Kevin Akerberg tell me. it was a TANK!

[@maxpowers2168]

where's the G5?

[@AsianEYEGaming]

Solded it to his friend

[@mynamesjeffhardly]

moving on up dude that 08 mbp :)

[@Mattdude411]

Why are you running a 1000W PSU with a low powered i7 and GTX 960? Even if you threw in two 980 Tis and a octa core i7 I seriously doubt you could get it to push 800W...

[@alfhonikmusic]

HipsterPolice Reliability. That's it. When you're running a machine that you just want to work no matter what for years and years, having lots of headroom on power and good power supply is key. You don't need it. But it's a great investment for long time reliability.

[@Mattdude411]

AWEEDEN Official Except when this machine can barely pull more than 200W at absolute max load (which will not happen 99.9% of the time), you're getting significantly worse power efficiency than if you were using something like a 650W PSU, which, is already overkill for this build anyway. My OCed i5-6600K and GTX 1080 uses a high quality EVGA 550W PSU and with the same usage, will likely be not only far more efficient but will last as long, if not longer than if I was using a 1000W PSU, which will use more power under the exact same load, and as a result will last longer due to more wear under the capacitors. It won't make a significant difference in the long run whether you're running a good 600W or 1200W PSU, but your "reliability" comment is false information to say that having a 1000W PSU is actually better than a PSU that will work at its 50% efficiency for longer. And ESPECIALLY when it's a Hackintosh which won't even be guaranteed to work after every update I don't think he's expecting it to work for years and years.

[@AlexCheerNZ]

I would love to know where you find that a GTX 960 plus a i7 only would use 200W, considering the GTX 950 is recommended to use at least a 400W PSU

[@Mattdude411]

A GTX 950 does recommend a 400W PSU but it doesn't mean that it uses 400W. It just means that a 400W PSU would be optimal in a setup with a GTX 950, hence "recommended", and the comment above where I mentioned "50% efficiency". An i7, especially a non-overclockable i7 would use around 60W at 100% load, as I said, will never realistically be happening, along with a GTX 960 which will take 120W at absolute max load, which again, does not happen very often. That's 180W right there. Let's factor in RAM, 4 sticks would use around 2-10W, and hard drives, each would use 5W when reading/writing. Giving the rest of the build some power, let's say 40W, and that's ~240W when every single part in your computer is stressed. Honestly, every time you use your computer do you use every part as hard as possible? In conclusion the "recommended PSU" means nothing to how many watts the PC actually uses. So I'm not saying a 200W PSU is good enough (which it isn't), but it only uses around 200W in total, which a 400W PSU would be perfect as it hits that 50% efficiency. I didn't "find" that info, I actually know it from my experience in testing out multiple configs of hardware from GTX 960/970/980 Ti/1060/1070/1080/R9 390 with i5-4590/i5-4690K/i7-4790K/i5-6600K/i7-6700K builds and examining actual power usages from the wall (I never hit over 375W even from my old i7-4790K/980 Ti, doesn't that say something?). Still don't believe me, buy a Kill-A-Watt meter and plug in an i7-6700/GTX 960 build in and run a stress test.

[@arranmc182]

I think people forget how bad MacOS X can run on less than 128Mb vRAM, I had a G3 tower that only had a 64MB card in it and anything past 10.1 runs so sluggish because of the fancy MacOS X UI

[@carsorsomethingidk]

I love your content! I had 6 computers in my Apple collection, but I sold them all because my parents forced me. I had a PowerMac G5, PowerMac G4, iMac G3, PowerBook G4 12, iBook G3 Clamshell. I sold the G3 because the screen cracked, my fault, a shame, sold the PowerMac G5 because my dad complained it was taking too much space, my house is small, but i'm looking for one to buy now. I found one with a 2.5Ghz Dual 6GB of RAM for $115 but it literally just sold :( I sold my G4 because I tried to flip it for profit, and I did. I bought it at my local thrift store for $15. Issue was bad hard drive, no big deal, had a 160GB Drive laying around, Installed panther, and boom. Sold for like $50 i think. Shipping caused most of the profit to go away but whatever. iMac G3 had a flyback transformer problem, CRT was bad. Bought at a thrift store for $30 and was given away to another thrift store because same problem with G5, dad complaining about space. Sold the 12 inch G4 because hard drive went bad and I don't have the MLG skillz to take it apart and put it back together again without loosing all the screws and not putting shit in the wrong places, so sold for $30. Also sold the clamshell for parts because again screen was broken...

[@carsorsomethingidk]

+Erik I also sold a 15 inch PowerBook G4 1.67 maxed 2GB RAM that i really regret selling. I'm actually in the process of buying it back as i emailed the person I sold it to on eBay and he says he doesn't use it anymore and is happy to sell it back to me lol. so yaay. Just hope he didn't fuck it up lol because it was immaculate when I bought it. Probably getting that for a steal. I just bought a 17 Inch PowerBook G4 today with a 1Ghz G4 and 512MB RAM. I got it for $65 shipped!!! going to eventually upgrade RAM. It didn't have a battery or RAM cover but I already ordered the RAM cover so that's solved. Just have to get a battery and it's all set. I sold all my apple collection in the past, but i'm starting to be in that retro vibe again, so i'm going to try to buy back all of what I used to have and more :). So that's my really long story. I don't blame you if you don't write TL;DR, but just felt like sharing. Love your videos bro. Keep it up.
