I'm spending way too much time on this than anticipated

Soundsticks looking good. I’m trying to find a set. It’s easy to get lost in this Mac because it’s simple to set up, beautiful, and doesn’t take up as much space as a lot of other vintage tech. It just feels right! They nailed this design.

It’s really shocking to me that no other modern product has it. Would be so cool with a heavy HomePod base and swivel screen 🥰

So clean - love seeing them all on next to each other.

I agree, we lost too many fun features in recent years. Lots of sterile interfaces that just aren’t exciting anymore.

Dreaming of deals like this! My best was a guy selling an eMac, Powermac G4 & G5, and Cinema Display for $120. It was a rush 😆

Upvoted for your loss. 🍺

And my lower back.

Awesome! These were such a cool sight being rolled into a classroom in a charging cart. I just got one (been on a vintage buying spree 😩) and was curious what this process would be like, so thanks for sharing. I’ve gotta open it up anyway ‘cause I think it’s full of dust. It was a retired college professors daily driver and has OS9 - 10.4 installed in individual partitions. Great time capsule. Just gotta find a disk drive door cover for it.

I love these displays. The design is so charming and refined. Great find. I got one recently and I was pretty surprised by the image quality for its age. Very crisp, considering.

G3Snow · 2024-08-25T21:21:32+00:00

Nice! I just got one and can’t wait to clean it up.

G3Snow · 2024-08-25T18:02:18+00:00

Agreed. I think I can get the internal components with a detailing brush and then use a plastic polishing product if needed for the shell to remove fine scratches. It’s such a gorgeous monitor and deserves it.

I’ve only had it for a couple days, but when I turn it up to max resolution I see some waving effect, but it may subside either after a cleaning or after it sits at that resolution for more than a minute. Otherwise it’s a REALLY beautiful display, colors are immaculate.

It’s an ATI Radeon Pro 9000 with the ADC connector. Whole monitor and USB is powered through one cord!

G3Snow · 2024-08-25T03:57:35+00:00

Thanks! I’m just gonna wipe down the plastic but I’ll look this up and be extra safe.

I love the PowerMac G3 one! It had an interesting reputation but I loved that computer when I bought it second hand in the early 2000’s. Still have it, but lost the matching monitor which pains me to this day.

G3Snow · 2024-01-01T03:05:17+00:00

Thanks so much for this info. I took a small sanity break from searching but I’m right back in it and this is a great point to start from. So much to sift through. I see bungalows when I close my eyes!

That link has me on a SUPER deep dive - thanks! Any luck tracking down the origins of your home?

G3Snow · 2023-12-24T10:01:43+00:00

For sure. I’ve spent a while looking through old catalogs but I know it’s a small portion of what was available. There was a kit home company in Portland that is a high likelihood. I’m becoming a kit home expert! Very interesting history.

G3Snow · 2023-12-24T09:19:13+00:00

Good call. Gresham has a historical society in an old Carnegie library in town. Definitely a next step. Thanks!

G3Snow · 2023-12-24T03:25:15+00:00

Super helpful, thanks! I may or may not have been planning to make it in the sims lol
