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

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

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

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.

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?

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

Wow, now that's what I call keen! Was the seller surprised that you appeared as soon as the auction was closed?
|
Posted by: MacTCP on 2007-06-26 17:56:15
He let me come because I called him.
|
Posted by: The Macster on 2007-06-26 18:08:57
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! 😛 )

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.

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! 😛 😉

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

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.

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