Does This Beer-Coated iMac G3 Still Work?? --- Making An iMac Cat House

  • Tearing into a nasty first generation iMac G3 that had been long coated in rotted beer and who knows what else... it was gross - What should I do with the insides of this thing? After much cleaning of the outer casing and some glue my cat Augie has an epic little cat house
    Couple mistakes made during this video - Right from the start I say its "Slot-loading" drive when it is the tray load, and the speakers in this first generation were also Harman Kardon ! Unscripted and many beers drank while recording the first disassembly :)

    I saw your post on Facebook of the iMac cat house and it was the most adorable thing! I've been watching you since I was about 11 years old (I'm nearly 28 now for context) so it's different seeing you take one apart without the use of a sledgehammer or pickaxe haha. These things are notoriously difficult to disassemble without breaking any of the plastic clips, particularly around the display bezel, so I wouldn't feel too bad about it. They're incredibly brittle at the best of times and this one was clearly put through the wringer already. Love the content!
