Guest atanguay Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Hi All- I have an original Apple 400Mhz G4 Tower for sale. It would make a great case to jam a new Intel motherboard inside and make a cool fake 'Intel Super Gee4'. The case is in nice shape and the last time I used it, the machine actually functions. I spose you could remove that part and try and sell it off and recoup some bucks. In case someone is aching for a 400Mhz machine...yeesh. These are all over the map on eBay price wise...I'd like to get say $80 for it...you pay shipping. US only please. http://search-completed.ebay.com/search/se...=search&frpp=50 This is the case: http://www.musenparts.co.jp/kmuc/pic/G4-400.jpg http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00006FMXG.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg If you'd like this little bit of history :pirate2: , just post here and we can set it up. Probably best to do a PayPal thing. Thanks A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TranSport Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Ive seen soem cool mods done to the Blue and white G3 cases. Iam sure the G4 case would be simialr. Dremel, drill, and time. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbjonas Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 If I were actually interested in it as a real G4 Mac (thinkin' about it just for fun) Could you please post the specs besides 400MHz? hard drive? RAM, Burner? any PCI cards? Video? Unless, of course, you stripped it and are just selling the case. (although you said it functions?) Another newb to recent mac hardware question- can it fulfil the minimum reqs to run 10.4? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape311 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 jbjonas: I can tell you for sure that it will run 10.4(provided all hardware is there). I have an old iMac G3 350Mhz with only 192 MB ram and it runs fine 10.4.5. It's a little on the slow side but with more ram this thing would run great. MOst recommend atleast 512MB but 1GB is preferable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reanimation_LP Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I'm VERY interested in this. Does it have AGP or PCI? If someone else has bought it, I have RAM that works in these models that I'd be letting go for 20 for every 256MB, which is cheap compared to 40+ for the same amount. I hope though its still availble as I wanna get it to replace my PCI Graphics G4, thats why I'm hoping it has AGP, since the AGP is a LOT more flexible.
