WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.730 all right iMac g3 ShortCircuit we're finally doing it 00:00:03.449 --> 00:00:11.090 screw you Linus this thing's interesting we're gonna have to start this off here 00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:11.090 with a sad story of neglect 00:00:11.309 --> 00:00:18.980 the last time this showed up in a video Linus kicked it off of a desk it was an 00:00:16.230 --> 00:00:23.340 absolute atrocity so you know I absolutely love this things it was my 00:00:21.119 --> 00:00:27.359 first real computer so we're gonna go ahead and you know clean her off have a 00:00:25.590 --> 00:00:31.500 nice old time and have a bit of a nostalgia as well but before we get into 00:00:29.130 --> 00:00:35.670 that p IA sponsored this video thank you guys p IA is a VPN

30-day money-back guarantee at the link below if for whatever reason you don't 00:00:49.829 --> 00:00:57.510 know this is the iMac g3 it's maybe one of the most iconic computer designs ever 00:00:54.899 --> 00:01:02.370 and it's what gave Johnny I've the dude who designed this his job title as the 00:00:59.879 --> 00:01:05.909 chief design officer at Apple it's maybe one of the most beautiful computers ever 00:01:04.140 --> 00:01:11.460 made like just look at that I have no clue who owned this apparently it's been 00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:13.380 with the company for three office moves 00:01:11.460 --> 00:01:19.290 before we started up here we've got the i/o for the time on a PC this was 00:01:16.259 --> 00:01:22.049 considered pretty bad people got really 00:01:19.290 --> 00:01:29.340 angry with the fact that only had a CD drive right here floppy disks were still 00:01:25.259 --> 00:01:31.439 quite popular in like 1999 so it was 00:01:29.340 --> 00:01:37.979 pretty radical that they only included a CD drive here we've also got to fire 00:01:33.509 --> 00:01:40.860 wires I believe that is 56k modem and 00:01:37.979 --> 00:01:45.990 Ethernet we also have only two USB ports that's a bold decision so apparently the 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:52.229 original version you know the one had the flippy doodle that comes out and then there was a CD drive Steve Jobs 00:01:49.409 --> 00:01:54.570 apparently hated that it was not supposed to be it was supposed to be 00:01:53.700 --> 00:01:59.009 this one right here but they just couldn't get it like totally done in 00:01:56.820 --> 00:02:02.969 time oh yes do we just see if it works I just get right into it 00:02:00.360 --> 00:02:05.490 I'm so excited for the dome yeah that came out weird 00:02:05.490 --> 00:02:12.760 okay we are in macOS 10 which is a bit 00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:20.130 unfortunate because this right here is kind of the last generation of PowerPC 00:02:15.250 --> 00:02:22.930 Macs that's not x86 and you know these 00:02:20.130 --> 00:02:28.350 PowerPC CPUs it's got a single core this one right here is the fast one which 00:02:24.160 --> 00:02:31.810 goes at 400 megahertz but in macOS 10 00:02:28.350 --> 00:02:33.280 she runs like hawk garbage so originally 00:02:31.810 --> 00:02:39.130 this right here came with I think would be 9.2 and it ran really fast and there 00:02:36.970 --> 00:02:43.959 were quite a few applications and then because the PowerPC CPUs were a bit too 00:02:42.310 --> 00:02:49.660 power-hungry bit too hot Apple switched over to Intel and they 00:02:47.650 --> 00:02:55.000 they kind of just drop support for these like one or two years after they started 00:02:52.150 --> 00:03:03.760 existing so we have a 13.8 inch display here and it is a 1024 by 768 display at 00:03:00.510 --> 00:03:06.010 75 Hertz I think every one that actually 00:03:03.760 --> 00:03:10.870 is this would go with the 800 by 600 resolution and you get 95 Hertz just 00:03:08.860 --> 00:03:14.890 look so smooth it's the kind of thing we're like back in the day I didn't even 00:03:12.910 --> 00:03:19.200 know that I preferred high refresh rate monitors but it still is what I went for 00:03:16.989 --> 00:03:25.000 anyway let's go in here what applications do we have iMovie 00:03:21.610 --> 00:03:29.019 oh it's booting into macOS 9.2 inside 00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:31.030 of 10 so that we can open iMovie and I'd 00:03:29.019 --> 00:03:35.410 give it a 50% chance of working nope yep this application our control 00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:37.900 panel is not supported I have no clue what this computer is or where it came 00:03:37.540 --> 00:03:43.200 from oh that's that's legitimately someone's 00:03:40.540 --> 00:03:49.570 tax info let's just close that thing everybody wipe your PC's before you send 00:03:47.019 --> 00:03:54.640 them to places I guess that will have to not show people the audio because we 00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:56.440 definitely don't have any of this Oh 00:03:54.640 --> 00:04:00.700 iTunes is opening it was still green back then that's fun we're gonna have to 00:03:58.390 --> 00:04:04.420 cut the audio soon here but though it's it's pretty funny 00:04:01.720 --> 00:04:08.170 I would say that those speakers are very comparable to that on the MacBook Air 00:04:06.760 --> 00:04:13.330 that we recently reviewed and we were like oh my god these are great how did 00:04:10.959 --> 00:04:17.160 they do it well back in the day you just made them freakin huge and then you had 00:04:15.010 --> 00:04:20.250 great sound no problem they aren't particularly loud like our 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:24.000 amber that like you can't fill a living room with these speakers but if it's 00:04:21.780 --> 00:04:27.870 just you sitting in front of it it's a pretty great time up the highs fair bit 00:04:26.070 --> 00:04:32.760 of bass I'm pretty impressed especially given how old this poor thing is I 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:38.910 actually do remember this game it kind of says it's his mom's favorite game I'm 00:04:36.210 --> 00:04:43.140 sorry there were actually like a number of pretty games marathon being the most 00:04:41.070 --> 00:04:48.570 notable that was like what Bungie did before halo halo was actually supposed 00:04:45.510 --> 00:04:51.210 to be a Mac exclusive and then Microsoft 00:04:48.570 --> 00:04:54.690 just came in and was like yeah and all Bobby want that what a different world 00:04:53.130 --> 00:04:58.560 that would have been even though that game right there wasn't particularly 00:04:56.550 --> 00:05:03.690 demanding this did have pretty good graphics for the time so this had the 00:05:00.030 --> 00:05:05.970 ATI rage 128 which as far as raw 00:05:03.690 --> 00:05:11.430 performance goes was really good it was pretty comparable to the 3d effects Vudu 00:05:08.570 --> 00:05:16.500 although according to what I've seen online the drivers support was just hot 00:05:13.950 --> 00:05:20.250 garbage so it never really got the love that it probably deserved I guess that's 00:05:19.020 --> 00:05:27.090 kind of what happened still with like AMD cards that's just get into it as we flipped it 00:05:24.060 --> 00:05:28.620 around here and now we have access to 00:05:27.090 --> 00:05:32.970 just this little slot right here I think this is the only part of the computer 00:05:30.210 --> 00:05:36.660 that Apple wanted you to actually know dig into so we have a look at the RAM 00:05:34.980 --> 00:05:40.950 now are you guys able to see that at all oh there's like no light in there there 00:05:40.350 --> 00:05:49.650 we go can you see that David yeah so we've got 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:51.690 the RAM right in here and this is about 00:05:49.650 --> 00:05:58.260 all you'd be expected to be able to upgrade so this one's 512 megabytes and 00:05:54.900 --> 00:06:01.020 this one right here is 256 so that is 00:05:58.260 --> 00:06:07.650 definitely upgraded I think this came with up to 64 megabytes of RAM back in 00:06:04.050 --> 00:06:09.690 the day so having what over 700 00:06:07.650 --> 00:06:14.730 megabytes of RAM would have been pretty insane it's like that would be like I 00:06:11.970 --> 00:06:19.980 don't know finding a new iMac with two terabytes of RAM in it like you can but 00:06:17.070 --> 00:06:24.690 no one really is going to until much later yeah so if you want display out I 00:06:22.410 --> 00:06:29.560 don't think I've ever seen like a real person use an extra monitor with these 00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:33.940 but in theory you can it's kind of hidden now oh whoa you 00:06:31.930 --> 00:06:39.940 don't see screws like that in computers anymore that's self-tapping I think so that's 00:06:37.930 --> 00:06:43.470 pretty gross I just realized that I forgot my sublime CD in there I don't 00:06:41.830 --> 00:06:49.480 know if I'm ever getting that back oh geez it didn't break we did it so it 00:06:47.860 --> 00:06:54.970 looks like around all of the computer components here we have a Faraday cage I 00:06:52.540 --> 00:07:00.340 guess that that's to prevent like too much noise from happening from like the 00:06:57.060 --> 00:07:02.229 you know the big CRT that's up here on 00:07:00.340 --> 00:07:07.180 the top so I guess that kind of explains why more people didn't bother making all 00:07:05.020 --> 00:07:10.270 in ones back in the day then again also it was just hard to make all in ones not 00:07:08.740 --> 00:07:15.220 many people do it these days either alright Faraday cage gone wow those are 00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:19.810 definitely exposed capacitors that's cool so if we look here it's any of 00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:25.210 those you touch them and you're gonna be having a really bad time so now we can 00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:29.050 see the logic board not to be confused with a motherboard it's it's actually 00:07:27.400 --> 00:07:31.990 the same thing but Apple just call some logic boards for whatever reason well 00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:38.590 guys I really hope that you like this video cuz there's something about just really old things and when you take them 00:07:36.850 --> 00:07:43.000 apart you don't really know what you're gonna find inside I would like to do 00:07:40.900 --> 00:07:49.000 more of this and I imagine Anthony also wants to do a lot more of this hit us up 00:07:46.630 --> 00:07:52.510 in the comments down below and I don't know basically tell Linus that you want 00:07:50.530 --> 00:07:57.970 more retro stuff because I definitely do look at the size of this battery is that 00:07:54.430 --> 00:08:00.970 the seamos that's hilarious right here's 00:07:57.970 --> 00:08:03.850 the connector for the CD drive and also 00:08:00.970 --> 00:08:11.380 the hard drive you guys may think it looks familiar to an IDE but it's 00:08:06.850 --> 00:08:12.370 actually a scuzzy which is SCSI I don't 00:08:11.380 --> 00:08:18.360 actually really know the difference between the two besides because he's a 00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:20.889 fun name to say I really wanted to do a 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:26.289 sleeper in this but it turns out that getting a display that fits doesn't 00:08:22.900 --> 00:08:28.840 really exist so if anyone can find a 00:08:26.289 --> 00:08:33.669 display to go in this please let me know I will use it in an instant this right 00:08:31.539 --> 00:08:41.080 here is just the absolute weapon of a CPU that you get in here so 400 00:08:36.459 --> 00:08:42.100 megahertz single core not even x86 but 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:49.330 it's yeah there's not a whole lot of redeeming qualities of it but it was 00:08:45.940 --> 00:08:52.270 pretty cool at the time what did I have 00:08:49.330 --> 00:08:57.400 for a heat sink here I guess someone yell at me in the comments if I'm wrong 00:08:53.590 --> 00:08:59.530 but as far as I can tell all that you 00:08:57.400 --> 00:09:03.850 get for heat sinking in this is this little block of aluminum that's jammed 00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:09.310 up against the processor and then it goes into this admittedly fairly large 00:09:06.880 --> 00:09:16.300 chunk of aluminum here that is used to you know stop too much interference 00:09:12.250 --> 00:09:17.590 coming in from the CRT on top how under 00:09:16.300 --> 00:09:22.360 Apple switch to Intel they're just they're like Oh PowerPC is way too hot 00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:27.040 meanwhile this is what you've got for a cooler on a good god this is absolutely 00:09:25.060 --> 00:09:32.530 going to suck to put back together I'd be half tempted to not accept that 00:09:29.980 --> 00:09:36.580 my sublime CD is still in the front here and with these right here like you know 00:09:35.020 --> 00:09:42.070 how on a normal CD player you'd have to be able to take like a pin and jam it in 00:09:39.010 --> 00:09:46.240 get your CD out if there's no power no 00:09:42.070 --> 00:09:48.790 such luck on these so here's a CRT I'm 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:53.680 not going any further because even though there should be a drain resistor 00:09:50.650 --> 00:09:56.100 in here that you know takes away any of 00:09:53.680 --> 00:10:01.920 the high voltage that exists in here it's it's what twenty years old I don't 00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:06.520 trust it and you know there's a big ol 00:10:01.920 --> 00:10:08.860 400 volt capacitor right there it's a 00:10:06.520 --> 00:10:14.080 bunch of other stuff basically I have an electron gun that's very high voltage 00:10:12.010 --> 00:10:17.770 and if I touch any of this I die not quite the ending that I hoped for this 00:10:15.880 --> 00:10:21.790 iMac g3 it's an absolutely beautiful machine and I hope that you guys like 00:10:19.570 --> 00:10:27.120 this video here hit like get subscribed and I need to put this back together so 00:10:23.860 --> 00:10:27.120 I can get my sublime CD back
