This is part of my iMac G3 Collection. More to come Post all of your PowerPc Macs





The Green iMac G3 (Turned sideways In pic) i found along the road the Plastic inside that holds the CRT is broken and the Hard Drive is messed up but it still powers up when i tryed it last in October. Almost all the iMac G3's in the pic have new Flyback Transformer's. The only 2 that do not is the indigo and the green one i found. But the indigo works just fine it looks like it had a easy life

Thanks! It took my boss four years to get us those desks. Before that it was real cramped.

I don't have any hard numbers as far as speed, but my G5 handles the load pretty well. At any given time I have Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Entourage, Word, Excel, Acrobat 6 Pro and Acrobat 9 Pro, TenFourFox and an IM app running. It multitasks very well. I'm often doing several heavy lifting jobs at once. It's pretty quick, I only notice a slowdown when I add Illustrator to the mix of running apps. It's running Leopard, which has slowed it down somewhat compared to Tiger. But it's much more stable (The Finder was always quitting on me with Tiger). My boss maxed it with 4GB ram when he bought it. I've only had ONE issue since my boss bought it and that was a ram stick that went bad during warranty.

My only real speed limitation is the bottleneck of our 10/100 switch. Our server is Gigabit Ethernet (and so is my G5), but I can never get that speed because of the switch.

Oh. And it's been on 24/7 since February of 2005.

May I please ask:
What version of OS X are you running on this work machine?
Also, what browser are you using?

Thanks much.

 

[geneking7320]

I apologize!
If I took a good look at the post just above my first one I would have
seen the answer to my question.

Thanks much.

Sure, no problem. Originally it came with Panther (10.3.5) and I used that until about the beginning of 2009 when I upgraded to Tiger. I upgraded to Leopard around the beginning of last year. Between the three versions of OS the most solidly stable for this Mac was 10.3 (but seriously boring). Tiger was just awful on this G5. I couldn't do more than one or two file copys at a time and be doing something else without causing the Finder to crash. Leopard is slightly slower than Panther, but it's stable and has better features.

My department (Composing) has two Macs and 1 PC. The rest of the computers in the building are PC (except for Classified which is running Panther on a G4) including our server. So, we were running DAVE 5/6 for a while. Leopard allowed us to uninstall that. AppleDouble is also better handled by Leopard. The "." files used to be littered all over the server, but Leopard does a good job of cleaning them up now versus Panther and Tiger.

This is my current set up iMac 2011 21.5 base(16Gb of Ram) w/ 22' SyncMaster.

My PowerMac G5 2.3DP (8Gb of Ram) Headless. The G5 right now has many hats. I'm currently using it for a media server(iTunes), Application Development Environment, DvD encoder, Ventrilo Server, WebServer, FTP, SSH, and maybe a SVN server if I can get it to work.

Uhm, no offense, but I can't really answer that question for you. The G5 is a work Mac owned by my boss and it's located at work. I have a lot of leeway, but watching HD movies or YouTube on company time is not something that will end with a favorable outcome for me.

On the other hand, my PowerBooks handle YouTube and DVD movies very well. I avoid using Safari however. I don't know why, but it's always been a very slow browser for me. As to HD movies, I'm not sure as I haven't really played around with that much.

Cool Macs!

I have always wanted a QuickSillver. To me, they are the coolest looking of the entire G4 line. Just something about where Apple chose to mount that front speaker looks really cool to me. I would even pass on a better performing later model G4 if I could score a QS.

Thank you!

Not finished with my office still few things I like to get but having not found them yet. Funny thing is what I think is the best part of the office (other then the computers) is the mouse pad. It use to be a IceMat (kinda still is) but I redid it to the current look.

Those were really popular with design schools because they were inexpensive. I can remember when they were new. The school I was at at the time transitioned from the Mac II line and Quadras to the iMac. In fact, one of my classmates had a project where the video for the iMacs (the one showing all the different colors of the iMac) was a prominent part.

I did a lot of my design work at school on those.

Those old G3's....What a design concept they where! I'm on the lookout for old macs at the moment. Nice pictures here, and good to know people are still using this older stuff too.
