Local Power Mac G4 AGP Graphics!

[MacTCP]

I'm going to go pick it up right now! :b&w:

 

[Quadraman]

i just bought a dual 500mhz g4 512mb ram/ 2x 36gb scsi hd's for $85

Good job

and Good job, MacTCP.

 

[bigD]

For not having to deal with shipping, that's a steal! Good work!

 

[MacTCP]

I picked it up. The seller was so drunk he could hardly speak! And it turns out that it's a Macintosh Server G4!

 

[Unknown_K]

Can we see a link to the auction now since its over?

 

[MacTCP]

Click Click

 

[MacG4]

kinda funny the seller was drunk

 

[Quadraman]

You realize it has a blank hard drive, right? Do you have an OS CD?

 

[MacTCP]

It turns out that this is a Gigabit Ethernet Server with Dual 450mhz I think.

I had to reconnect the HD. It got unconnected somehow.

 

[The Macster]

You've got it already? 8-o Did you sprint over there as soon as the auction ended or something?!

What OSes have you tried so far?

 

[MacG4]

yeah its a gigabit ethernet g4, i can tell from the picture(not the extra small heatsink near the rear of the case.

 

[MacTCP]

You've got it already? 8-o Did you sprint over there as soon as the auction ended or something?!

Yes, and panther is installing right now.

 

[The Macster]

Wow, now that's what I call keen! Was the seller surprised that you appeared as soon as the auction was closed?

 

[MacTCP]

He let me come because I called him.

 

[The Macster]

Still, he must have been surprised that you wanted to come minutes after the end of the auction! Anyway, Panther must be nearly done now? (the one advantage of a G4 Mac over a G3: it doesn't take a week to get OS X to successfully install! )

 

[MacTCP]

Actually, I just started it. My monitor cable is so short that it took a lot of time

to get it to stay in. But now it started and it's going really fast. It has a huge speed difference from my old iBook G3.

 

[The Macster]

It has a huge speed difference from my old iBook G3.

*looks away* Don't say that!! iBook G3s feel really fast to me, and beige towers even faster, don't shatter my illusions and tell me that actually they're slow for Macs these days!

 

[Quadraman]

My new iMac G3 seems plenty fast for a 6 year old machine.

 

[MacTCP]

Panther has been installed. It's really fast. It let me choose 2xxx x something as my resolution if I wanted, but everything above 1204 x 768 on this 20" Trinitron CRT is too tiny and morphed to possibly read.

 

[MacG4]

man all this talk of everyones g3s and g4 seeming fast makes me think. sometimes i think my poor g5 is slow
