Well, it’s been a while and I thought it was time to start a new project. I still have some work to do to finish up my iPod dock / antique radio project, but I have been inspired by my latest purchase, so it will have to wait.While looking around at an asset disposal sale at work I saw something that instantly looked like another project waiting to happen. I found a Blue and White Power Mac G3 tower. It was only $10 so I couldn’t resist.
This model came out in ’99 and was amazing at the time. All though I did read that there were some hardware problems in the initial release. But my plan is not to resurrect a 10-year-old, 300MHz computer. My plan is to rip out the existing hardware and build a Hacintosh into the beautiful looking case.
As you can see, Apple put a great deal of thought into the design, as they always seem to do. The side opens with little effort, and requires no tools to get right inside. It’s a very sharp looking design, and it would be a shame to let it go to waste.I am just getting started with this project, but I will post an update as soon as I gather some hardware together.
