There is a time and place for shenanigans. (edit: THIS is that time and place)

Hmm, looks like a handle. Twentieth anniversary Mac?

It's got to be a Mac of some kind.

It IS a mac. Good Eye. Powermac G3 (the blue and white tower). The handles snapped off and I just don't feel like paying 40 bucks a piece for used ones, so I'm reverse-engineering my own. I can't match the acrylic they used but I can probably come close in petg filament once I get the dimensions right. This one's a few mm too short.

The G3 was a 300 mhz powerPC chip and this one's got a whopping 128 megs of RAM. And it was about 4500 bucks new.

That's a nice solution. What are you going to put in it?

Not 100% sure yet. Something mini ITX and prolly AM4 socket. The GPU is going to be the struggle. It needs to be a shorty because there's not a ton of space. Gotta figure that out.

Nice.

I do want to eventually upgrade to a AM4 or even AM5 machine in the future.

G4 geomagnetic storm inbound, Tonight and tomorrow night. Aurora potential as far south as Northern CA and Northern Alabama for the Northern hemisphere. If it's that strong, I'd expect the aurora Australis to be pretty intense on the upside-down side too.

Ooh, and we'll be on our land in WV. I might be able to see this, no clouds
