I got a free Powermac at work. The office I work at went all PC so they were junking the last of the macs. They were on their way to the dumpster-so I asked if I could grab one. Hard drive was removed for security(nicely done -not ripped out)
Longtime Mac user so want to see if I can get it working--just for kicks-if not at least I'll have a decoration.
Obviously it will need a new hard drive to start-might do upgrade processor/video card later
Any good sites that are geared specifically to upgrading early G4s? Lots of funky hardware transitions during period so I don't want to buy incorrect hardware
The model
2001 Powermac G4-nicknamed "Digtal Audio" The low-end model right before Quicksilver came out
466mhz
512 ram (!)
5 PCI slots (!!!)
zero G hard drive
ATI rage 128 pro 16mb
