- Some friends bought me this beautiful Macintosh Performa 450 (also known as the LC III) for my birthday, and here's a video of me playing around with it

Love seeing another pizzabox Mac owner. I’ve got the Performa 410 (aka LC II) in my collection.
Nice! How do you like it?
@@europa6502 I like it a lot for enjoying older Macintosh titles. Plus the small case size is so convenient.
@@ShoalFox Nice! And I agree, I love how small the case is on these :3
Oooh what a lovely machine! 😻
You don't see many of these, people mostly focus on educational surplus LC IIs and IIIs so it's cool to see some Performas
Neat pizzabox computers will always have a special place in my heart, I think it's a shame the industry has basically evolved past the form factor cause there's just something very appealing in them, I dunno. They just *scream* 'sleek'! 😸
Great vid!
ikr? I love pizza boxes! If there was one on the market and it did what I needed, I'd totally buy it as my main machine. I know there are cases that offer a pizza box-like experience, but nothing quite like the OG pizza boxes.
And yeah! I don't know how many Performa versions of LC machines I've seen. It's neat owning one

After I posted that comment I immediately went and tried to see what modern pizzaboxlike options were available and I have to say I was very disappointed. :·( Actually I'm really tempted to look for a broken-beyond-repair SPARCstation 5 (that has to be my favourite Sun) and try to build a modern PC inside it. Ideally something non-x86 to keep things interesting! Sadly I have neither the money nor the space. :D There's an idea for a video. ;·P Or maybe do you have more Mac shenanigans in mind? xD
@@europa6502 I bought my parents one back in the day so they could get on the Internet. LOL Those were the days! Now they are 91 and 87 years of age and have latest Apple watches, iPads and my old Mac Pro Trashcan! Hahahaha.......
Sorry for the late response! I just now saw this - for some reason yt doesn't always notify for responses to comments :(
It'd be pretty neat to see like an ARM Mac Mini or a Raspberry Pi put into the case of a SPARCstation 5! Although I do worry if that might be a waste of space inside the case. idk if you have done anything with it yet, I'd be curious to know if you have!
How'd it serve them? I love mine, I hope to play around with it more when I can!
Nice Ben Cool looking 450
