Wow. This brings back so much nostalgia for where I was in my life early in my graphic design career in 1999 and 2000. I loved the G3 and G4 towers back then.

[@ChairmanMeow1]

G3/4/5 are still my most favorite case designs of all time, especially the G4. just beautiful, and so easy to access things inside.

[@EvilTurkeySlices]

My favorite design is the graphite g4, but my favorite to use is the quicksilver. It’s the best mid ground to performance and cost. The MDD models can get expensive.

I really like the blue front panel on this Apple Pro PC. Its looks more colorful. I wish the full case color was blue to make it look even more exciting and appealing to users.

Nice job restoring it!

Very nice. I’ve still got our 400MHz B&W G3 my dad bought back in ‘99. It had been stored in the crawl space after we moved on to newer computers. I recently dug it out and freshened it up. Didn’t need much of a cleaning, but was missing the Rage 128 video card and the optical drive bracket and flip down door. Sourced the parts online and it’s back running good as new. Threw an 18GB 7200rpm HD in there, and with the 448MB RAM it had from years ago, it’s a very snappy Mac indeed!

Because your restorations are very satisfying to me, you earned a sub from me.

[@EmperorSteele]

Oh man, this brings me back! I remember in my College Art Department, a critical flaw in the design of these machines became apparent... well, less the computer itself, and more just the Zip Drives. See, if you had a broken Zip disk, it would break a drive when it tried to red the disk. If a drive was broken, it would break the disk. You can see where this is leading. The entire Mac Lab would go down at least one a semester because someone would kept trying to use a busted disk in each machine, rendering them unusable. Though since it was a chicken and egg scenario (what was broken first, the disk or the drive), it'd be hard to fault the student who accidentally did all this, especially since they essentially just lost all their work. But yeah, nostalgia at its finest! You mentioned/showed a lot of expansion space. About how much do you think this thing could be upgraded? (like, could you get over a gig of ram in there? An SD drive? A dedicated graphics card that still used the old PCI slots?)
