On 1999.10.13, Apple officially postponed the 500 MHz G4 until January due to problems Motorola was having producing a 500 MHz processor in quantity. The Sawtooth G4 not only has bootable USB, which Yikes! does not, but it also has two separate USB controllers, “to better balance the throughput requirements of the individual USB devices on the bus.” ( USB Info and Benefits of Dual-Channel USB) The Yikes! models uses a modified Yosemite (Blue & White) motherboard, while the AGP model covered here is based on the superior Sawtooth motherboard. Even though both looked the same from the front and sides, they have different motherboards and features. Note that there were two very different versions of the Power Mac G4. And with 1-4 gigaflops (billion floating point operations per second) performance at 500 MHz, it was a supercomputer by government definition when it was released.

It makes sense, but it's relatively new information.“Wicked fast” is the phrase that best summarizes the breakthrough performance of the Power Mac G4 – the first personal computer classified as munitions and under export restriction because of its power. Offering up to twice the performance of the Power Mac G3 and three times the power of a Pentium III at the same clock speed, the G4 was Apple’s first serious pro computer after Steve Jobs became iCEO.ĭesigned in graphite gray, silver, and clear plastic, it even looks professional. Apparently it's bad to have the radiator lower than the pump, as any air will collect over the CPU, which should result in poor thermal performance and the shortening of the life of the AIO. Nearly a ¼ of all the comments on my build has been about my position of the radiator in relation to the pump, so you might also want to do your own research about it. I didn't want to have to compromise or have to buy a specific card for the rig, so I tried to make the build as inclusive and as compatible as possible, which is hard to do when you're using such a restrictive case!

I made the bracket for the radiator so it could clear a full length graphics card. I have an Ajazz AK33 Blue Switch mechanical keyboard, and though it doesn't look like an A1048, it's white, so has more of an Apple keyboard look than most gaming keyboards! Yeah, I much prefer a proper mechanical keyboard to the A1048, which does feel dated and cheap compared to newer apple keyboards.

That's not bad resolution considering the age! I've seen some people take them apart and upgrade the panels with newer ones, but that's well beyond my expertise!
Even then I need to be careful when opening the case because the tubing needs to be moved out of the way from the GPU. That was a scramble to research a GPU that would fit in the space requirements. I had quite the "Oh fuck" moment when I realized my GPU was too big and the AIO tubes couldn't clear it. Unfortunately, only the CPU, RAM, and PSU stayed. I tried to reuse as many parts of my previous rig.

Plus I got the power button to work which was my first time soldering. I'm mostly just happy everything came together and fit. The inside of my case is no where near the pro job you did. The mechanical imitation though would be great since I could keep the aesthetic going.
The plastics are rubbing against each other causing it to become harder to press. I've tried cleaning them and it hasn't helped. This ones i have at least takes too much press down. That's just from the gas in the backlight being used up. Though since they are not LED backlit the 20 inch does have a warmer picture. Sure the response time is probably bonkers, but I'm use to being several steps behind on the latest tech. I game on them just fine and don't really have an issue.
