Apple Powermac G5 Ressurection - Part 1

I (maybe) completely destroy a Powermac G5. Watch in amazement and cringe during every step as I defile and tear down my Powermac G5.

PEOPLE THAT SHOW HONEST UNSANITIZED WORK ARE COOL AND MAKE FOR REAL VIDEOS !!! WELL DONE DUDE !!!!! 10 / 10 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sirbobbyuk]

Yep, I had a fight with the HDD connection as well, It was total pain, sorted in the end

[@donho526]

Loving your video at 19:33 in. I too and working to revive a G5 🙂

[@matthewday7565]

The drive doesn't "flop around", if you use the buffer screws stowed in the plastic by the bay... for the top slot, you have to offer the drive with the buffers installed to the midline rails, which lift the back of the drive, then locate the second pair into to top rails. Got a dead G5, as I understand it, just the disk was removed, but nothing at all happens. knowing a bit more about where things are, I guess reseating the connectors might bring results - don't really want to go full Tech Yes cleanse on it... got it as part of a bundle and the retro and not so retro PC parts were the highlight for me. I'll spin it up if I can, but it may cost me membership of the PCMR (and to be honest, the current Intel Macs are just proprietary PCs running a different OS)

[@anthonybattle5209]

I thought I was watching a video of myself. Absolutely entertaining and very informative. That wrench size is to die for.

Great vid ma boi just got a poor g5 working again cool vid keep crakin at it

[@TimurTripp2]

Very nice G5, what are the specs? I hope you get it working, and I'm looking forward to part 2. SATA III SSDs are problematic in the Power Mac G5. I could not get my Power Mac G5 to recognize a SanDisk SATA III SSD I wanted to put in.

[@GameTechDome]

Thanks! I'll post specs in Part 2. I've been really busy since May with my house renovations, so I've kind of put the KZbin channel on a short hiatus until I get some more free time to make and edit videos again.

Game & Tech Dome those cpu pins l

[@DJZofPCB]

hello everyone, I have a few questions, what so far is the best upgrade video card? has anyone installed windows? what is the best performance OS installed? Any repurpose projects? anyone still use it for video editing? anyone use it for music editing? is 8GB the max ram? Some of this im actively researching via search engines, the more info the better. Thank you for your time.

[@bramvandenbroeck5060]

20:43 there are 4 screws in that gray plastic thing next to the hard drive bay, those are ment to screw in to the hard drive so the hard drive will slide into 1 of those 2 slots dude :p

[@jordiaran-enunmomentodado]

Thanks for your video. Is possible change graphic card? New graphic card?

[@MrVitalic85]

Absolutely, the card need to be powerpc compatible or you can flash one with a ppc bios (check ‘themacelite’ wiki

[@darlpo64]

I have 4 G5's and 23 inch cinema displays. I don't know what to do with them.

[@mulac7597]

Darlene P mod them

[@koolioperson5534]

Sell them?

[@MrVitalic85]

I have Protools hd 8 on mine. Work absolutely perfect

[@eTaraNTino]

I'm guessing from the tools you're using you were fixing your GO-CART and thought 'fuck-I It ' I'll fuck with my computer And put it on KZbin

[@laverne506]

Hi have a Apple powermac G5 2004 are2005 can still get software for it.Thank You

[@tippmannperson]

Yes. with some searching around you can get all of it for free.

[@skynetcybersystem3tech]

👍

[@heartofneworleans5832]

All this did was help me to never install something when somebody else is installing it because if you don’t know what you’re doing and you break something and I follow you I will too 😳

[@ardenpips]

Was the Hard Drive the only thing that was wrong? (Note:I have only watched 3 minutes so don't scream at me in the comments please!)

[@noahs67]

thats a terabyte drive at 14:03

[@Myaccountishacked]

No comments!

[@daphoenixto]

LMAO what is with the wrench? have you never heard of a Socket set? I came I saw and I left for good .....

[@vicrattlehead3462]

This reminds me of druaga1

[@JohnSmith-iu8cj]

I was asking myself if it’s him

[@killerqueenization]

ты бы ещё газовый ключ взял бы XD

[@worldgonegood]

Should have watched a KZbin video before attempting this.

[@emilemilian7404]

Or simply read the manual.
