Some more modern Macs

Recent acquisitions include:

- G4 iMac (700MHz, 15") - my second one - couldn't resist!

- G5 PowerMac (2003 Dual 1.8GHz) - my first PowerMac G5 - I already have a G5 iMac and Xserve in the collection

- Cube (450MHz) - purchased mainly for the motherboard as my other Cube has the Firewire ports not working

Now I just need to find time to tinker with them!

Have you had a chance to see if any power on at least?!

Fired the iMac G4 up, everything looks fine, specifications are pretty stock:

- 700MHz G4/256MB RAM/40GB HDD/Mac OS X 10.3.9

I remember being enthralled by these iMacs when they came out - I was at Uni and one of the PC computer labs had a handful of these sitting against the wall.

G4 450MHz/1GB RAM/120GB HDD/Mac OS X 10.5.8

How 10.5 is working on the Cube, not too slow ?

I'm glad the Cube is safe! If I could have it my way, those little guys would never see a dumpster in their life (I would own them all
