Dust gets on pretty much everything. The old layout didn’t help either. Removing the extra clutter that has a dedicated spot elsewhere really makes a big difference! I’m really glad with how everything turned out, the small improvements are great, it feels like an actual setup again!

@@TheOriginalCollectorA1303 Yeah, having clutter makes cleaning really difficult. I can barely see my own desk, so I basically can't clean it unless I first remove everything from it, but I can't put it anywhere. Well, I could put it on my bed, but i kinda need that for you know, sleeping. So everything from there just ends up on the floor, then random cardboard boxes. And that's when I lose my stuff.

It’s easy to use the desk as a storage spot, but not so easy to actually clean it up once it’s cluttered. Definitely worth it though, and I am not going to do that again. It’s nice to have space to work with and then put everything away when needed. Seems like the best thing to do is either remove everything and organize it in one day or do it in small sections.

It would be nice to have a good condition case, but I don’t mind it too much considering it actually works. Plus I’ve already disassembled and cleaned it up as much as I’ve been able to. I might do something like that someday but I’ve got a lot of projects I still need to get to. The G5 is an interesting machine, it’s cool to use but performance wise, even early intel machines can do everything and more. I will say that Leopard feels completely different to use on this compared to my PowerBook G4. The HDD storage is also pretty funny considering the size of the case. Then again storage isn’t a problem for me because of the HDD I’ve installed. But yeah, there is space available for more drives if you really wanted to add more than 2.

Well it is a UA-cam short so it has to be vertical. Secondly this is a pretty old video and I’ve been trying to improve. Newer videos are definitely better than this. I do have a full video of this TV but again it is older and I would like to cover this TV more in the future.

Disk error could be something regarding the drive or the DVD itself. Double check that everything works and cleaning the lens could help also.

If you don’t have a newer MacBook, it still works on older macOS or even Windows.

@@TheOriginalCollectorA1303 yeah but windows is a pain to set up

Just saying, there are other ways of jailbreaking iOS 6, especially on older systems considering they were the modern versions at the time.

I still can’t believe just how well it cleaned up! I’m glad to have this awesome display and share it as well. I’ve seen many displays like this in poor shape, but alongside the box, it really looks like I managed to get it straight from 2003! Glad you enjoyed it!

The GPU definitely wasn’t the fastest. The system as a whole is pretty decent, but a better dedicated GPU would significantly improve performance.

Didn't realise that u would reply to new comments on a 3 yr old video. Good video concept

I try to keep up with comments on both old and new videos. Thanks!

The iMac is not cooking, it’s burning 🔥

From what I’ve seen, a blinking light usually indicates charging and a solid light means it’s fully charged. It’s best to take a look at the manual for the specific model, there’s lots of useful information about it, including charging.

CRAIG certified!

It’s awesome to see this finally cleaned up and working like a proper G5!

I definitely need to get into the vintage apple game. It looks great.

Old Macs and Mac OS X is awesome, definitely not like anything nowadays.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! Minidisc is a super cool format, I definitely plan on doing more things with it in the future alongside my iTunes/Mac setup.

@@TheOriginalCollectorA1303 looking forward to it, I subbed.

Thanks! Can’t wait to share more awesome tech like this!

A brand new CRT version? Nice! They are great for PowerPC Macs but unfortunately can’t be used with the DVI adapter as far as I know. It would be cool to have one of those also but I’m happy to have the LCD version, they are excellent displays!

@@TheOriginalCollectorA1303 yes same cable is for power and graphic thats why someone throw it away which my monitor was very clean and brand new but we were so young back then and nobody knew it was expensive tech still is i got so sad that i sold it for very very cheap toa computer seller he came took it with a car and messaged me 2 days later while its working i remember i got so sad heart broken

The cable is nice to have, but only as long as you can actually use it. CRTs in general were seen as obsolete as soon as flat displays became more popular. Many have gotten rid of old tech only to want it back, CRTs are still out there, you might be able to find one again!

@@TheOriginalCollectorA1303 im 37 years old you can imagine how old i was to found that beatifull monster 2002 2003 i assume cus i remember i was going to high school

To be fair, technology was changing faster than it does now, plus videos like this weren’t around to talk about cool stuff like the display. At least they don’t have the same price tag anymore, they were not cheap!

Nice, the Quicksilver is an awesome system and the 4:3 version is cool to have! Sorry to hear you can’t use ADC directly due to the power supply situation, but at the very least the G4 is usable. It might be easier to get the official ADC adapter, at least then it can also be used with other systems.

It can run on Sonoma based on other comments, but I haven’t personally tried it out on Sonoma. Have you tried to reopen the app, or try another 30 Pin cable? Sometimes cables can cause issues like that.

Have you tried either opening it from the applications folder or checking the security tab in Settings?

Whether it’s a CRT or LCD, these old displays are still fantastic! I’m glad I’m able to use this awesome ADC display alongside the G5 but this would have been an extremely expensive setup when new. At least they are much easier to get nowadays but the quality is fortunately still the same! Not to mention the design, crazy to think that this is an old display, it still holds up well!

Good idea, I’ll have to keep that in mind. The slimes were always in the way, plus I’m sure it’ll run faster without them spawning all the time.

Thanks! They are awesome displays, it’s excellent alongside the G5!

@@TheOriginalCollectorA1303 Funny enough, the way i got mine was i ordered one with a G5. the order for the G5 got cancelled, not the display. so i ended up having to get the dvi adapter and i use it for a variety of computers

It’s nice that they made the ADC to DVI adapter, definitely makes it more useful alongside other systems. It’s awesome to use ADC with an old Mac but it also means you can use this with anything.

There’s a lot I didn’t know about the G5, but it’s really cool to see what it has! Toslink would work well with the MiniDisc deck.

@@TheOriginalCollectorA1303 Connecting a MiniDisc deck was literally the firt thing that came to my mind.

It’s a perfect addition especially with the rest of the HiFi in the setup!

Welcome!

Why did you click on the video then if it’s just an old LCD?

I’m sure they were unlike anything else at the time! Even alongside modern displays, this still looks super cool. The best part nowadays is that while they still look the same like when they were new, at least they don’t have the same price tag! Of course they might need some maintenance like a good clean, but it’s certainly worth it!

Thanks! Definitely, you just don’t see stuff like this anymore. Even with modern hardware outperforming these old setups, the design alone will always be cool.

It’s a cool system, but wouldn’t a full size tower from the same model lineup work better if you want to upgrade it more? It’ll be less work to upgrade because it already has a larger case. It’s definitely possible but it’ll take some time as everything was manufactured with that case in mind.

@@TheOriginalCollectorA1303 I'm only doing it because i got it cheap at the thrift store but unfortunately yesterday while I was looking at stuff in the bios the monitor just went black... i tried to turn it on many times but cannot get it to even post. I guess something related to the onboard video went bad. I have tried to use pci boards to see if i could somehow bypass it but no matter what I do I can't get any video out. The error codes on the back are ABC = green the D = yellow. On Dell's forums it seems as though I need to look at the error visually on a monitor at post...very helpful lmao...im so mad.

That sucks, sorry to hear it just stopped working. Built in VGA is what I use and fortunately it’s been ok. Small form factor AGP cards fit well but I can see why a normal card would be better, at least they are easier to find. Not sure how it’ll be possible to bypass unless you add an AGP card to skip the built in video.

@@TheOriginalCollectorA1303 yeah let's see I'm going to mess with it some more maybe get lucky

Good luck, you might be able to exit/skip what it might be stuck on if you press enter or something. That is if you can figure out what it might be.

It’s a fantastic LCD. If you are referring to when I mentioned the acrylic CRT display, I said that the design is also just as cool as this LCD version.

It’s unfortunate how the adjustable leg can break, it’s not the worst thing but it sure makes it inconvenient to say the least. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a 3D printable version to replace it though, that is one way to easily fix it apart from getting a good condition original. Considering the age of the display, it still is great to use and has an excellent image!

Nice! It looks fantastic with it cleaned up, they are excellent displays both in design and function! The ADC adapter is cool, nice that Apple made them at all. I don’t know what I’d use it for considering I can use ADC directly, but it would be convenient for non supported Macs. Interesting to know that, the LCD is excellent and still looks great!

Nice! It works so well with this era of PowerMacs, crazy to think how old some of these Macs and accessories are.

The G5 came out in late 2003, the single 1,8 GHz in early 2004.

@@haramaschabrasir8662 could be 2003 then. It still works. The setup is gorgeous albeit very heavy. I even bought some cable that let me hook up the monitor to a regular PC DB15 (or DB9) video port the graphics cards had back then. (Dviator or something it was called) Apple made some really beautifully thought out computers and monitors and keyboards. The one button mice however was a bit of a miss imo

@@haramaschabrasir8662 BTW I still have my 2006 MacbookPro laptop too. Used refit to dual boot winXP that still works. Macs are really awesome imo.

These old Macs and even old versions of Windows are awesome to use. The ADC adapter is a cool thing to have, at least it makes the ADC displays useful for other setups also.

It’s obviously no replacement for modern hardware, but I do like using older systems like this. It’s cool to use old versions of OS X, or also old PCs with different versions of Windows. Lots of old software exist for these Macs and I want to use them more. I already use Mac OS Lion for iTunes alongside old iPods and other iDevices and that’s considered obsolete. But it still works great!

Thanks!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

I unfortunately don’t have a VU setup, my Hi-Fi setup isn’t ideal at the moment either. Same goes for software side of things and I have a lot of projects currently.

Thank you! I really appreciate it and I’m glad you enjoyed it! I never expected it to be such a long video but I’m happy with how it turned out. The setup is looking really cool but there’s so much more I can’t wait to do! That’ll be fun, iPods alongside old Macs are great! Good luck with that, there’s also been a lot of development with software to keep old Macs going, not to mention all the old software/games that still works great even today!

Thanks, I appreciate it! Cool to hear that you enjoy the videos! I have lots of cool tech that I can’t wait to use more!

Many of these HandyCams and similar cameras/accessories are getting older but you can still find deals. Plus they still make new accessories like the charger and even batteries (may depend on your model). It can be harder to find them unlike before, but the same can also be said for something like old computers or CRTs.

RGL Version will not work

Well the video is made with macOS in mind, there are ways to do this with Windows also.

I did this at the time because I heard the music could be a copyright issue. This video is from a couple of years ago though, next time I install old Mac OS X, I would like to show the intro video as long as it doesn’t get flagged for copyright.

@@TheOriginalCollectorA1303 Oh, I didn't knew it is copyrighted.

I have since played some of the intro video and it hasn’t given me problems. The intro videos are great additions in old Mac OS, I just need to be careful in case UA-cam flags it.
