My iMac G3



Uploaded by: PowerPCUser
Video Description:
The first addition to my Mac collection. I use this iMac G3 regularly mostly for the internet and iTunes. When I originally got this iMac, it had a common problem with these slot-loading iMacs where the through age and heat, the headphone board solders break and the connection between the headphone ports and the board is interrupted leading the iMac to think that headphones are plugged in all the time not giving the speakers any sound and since the connection was interrupted, headphones didn't work either. Using glue and a soldering iron, I was able to repair the iMac headphone board and the iMac was given the gift of sound as heard in this video.
I'm collecting all New World Macs (since the iMac G3) with PowerPC processors (not Intel). I will upload videos of each of them when I get them.

Great video. I would put more ram into it to improve the performance. You are running Tiger 10.4 at the bare minimum amount of ram now so if you put more ram in you will see a difference.

It was sold labeled as the iMac DV Special Edition but apparently it was the most popular selling iMac, so really it wasn't as rare as I thought it was when I made this video.

It depends. The iMac G4 would be a lot faster, but the iMac G3 would probably be nice too depending on what model you get.

Q:Where can I buy these G3 Imacs? My school had these until we got the new Imacs, I don't like those as much as these and I can't fund them in apple stores or anything. Can you please tell me where to get these Imacs because they look and are awesome!

Macs that classify under my collection (New World PowerPC), I have one, a tray-loading iMac that I'll be doing a video on soon. And yes, I do have one Intel Mac. Why? Because in order to stay up to date with Apple stuff, I'm going to need a fairly new system. Besides, Snow Leopard is rumored to release Intel only meaning I'm going to need an Intel Mac to use up to date software, and if I don't, I'm going to be forced to use old software. But, don't worry. I'm still a huge PowerPC fan.
