Power Mac G4 Quicksilver Restore & 'Clean' | IMNC

It's time I sold the last Quicksilver. I purchased a few of these prior to my Power Hack G4 Build series to have access to as many spare parts as possible. I didn't take much from this machine so getting it back up and running was pretty simple. I don't need another Power Mac so this is up for grabs on eBay ready for a new owner:

Thanks for watching! I hope you all enjoy...

I just spent a day removing scratches from my G4 MDD. I used various grades of wet & dry paper, followed by a rotary polishing tool with some car headlight polishing compound. Came out like new. Literally no more scratches, even when viewed with a torch.

I've been using mine for 20 years now, never failed - Ever Silver door/ Duel core 1.47 Ghz / 2 Gbs ram/ 500 Gb HDD / OS 10.5 !

So glad we won this on eBay, and even more glad that me and my son got to pick it up from you in person and meet you!! Yes, it was a 500 mile round trip, but hey ho ;) !!

To find the system specs from an OS X installer, click utilities and then System Profiler (instead of Disk Utility). It works from the Tiger installer to El Capitan installer. Love your videos, Tom!

Hi Tom, It's quite good fun revisiting your videos. I still have a lot of PPC macs to get rid off so this is a reminder to get rid off come of my vintage stuff.

Dear It's My Natural Colour,

I have loved this video.
Me too, I am gonna have a Power Macintosh G4 Quicksilver tomorrow evening, with a keyboard, mouse and a 23 inches flat monitor. According to its current owner, it also has a PowerPC G4 CPU clocked to 800 MHz, 256 MB of RAM, a 80 GB hard drive and a NVidia GeForce 2 MX graphics card with 32 MB of dedicaded video memory.
Yours.

Wow, I still have my G4 and I remember coming to you when I had to help a friend with his laptop. You were using a program to mirror a copy of a laptop disk to a main computer (or the other way)

Sad to see it go away.

[alexmurdie]

Damn Tom, back at it with the frequent uploads!

[factual]

Hi Tom, I too have the same G4 which has the power board problem. I can't source this board anywhere on the web I've looked. Any help or ideas please. Thanks.

BTW, to get the white scratches off, use a mr.clean eraser. They work really well on taking those kind of scratches off.
