My laptop (not a MacBook) is actually does that fan blasting thing too when already turn on for several minutes lol
I would love an iMac with compact flash.
I hope sometime you can do a video on the first kind of aluminum intel iMac! I recently got ahold of one of those models and I feel like they are the final crossroads between the iMac G5/ iMac G6 (White Intel) models and the later models from 2009 and onwards.
Interesting… but. You. Are. A. Masochist. 🙂
pls change the thermal paste!
The thing probably cost more to ship

You sound like a tech version of Bobby Duke Arts and honestly I'm all here for it
Ken: boots up Mac G5 to boot picker. Mac G5: jet engine revving up
I got given a 2012 bookman pro and taking out the disc drive cleaning it and putting it back in worked

Hey Ken I have the same iMac G5 I am trying to upgrade to Leopard from Tiger my problem is the optical drive will not read DVDr dL what fire wire do I need to use from MacBook Pro to the iMac G5 ? Not sure if I need 4 pin to 6 pin fire wire can you please let me know thanks.
We found the G5 in my profile picture for 50$ with maxed specs
It was used by a former graphics designer
(It came with OSX Panther recovery DVDs and OS X Tiger install DVD)
That fan wow
it probably is using its fans so much bc its supposed to, modern macs are so focused on silence they kinda get hot, guess they know what they were doing back then, but not now
God, we had these in the elementary school I went to. This is nostalgia for me lol.
It might need a new Tully toggle. Check my site out peeps www.withtruth.com
Mac stinks
Not trying to be mean but…2 gb ram and a jet engine for a fan and it costs 1600+ dollars?is that like sold as a souvenir or is it just extremely rare?
Can someone help?
I read this as 5g
