MacAddict November 2002
High-end hardware dominated the cover of this issue, although there was also a small complaint about how you had to pay for operating system upgrades at the time. One new online trend showed up in an article on how to set up your own "weblog" using your own OS X-running computer as the web server.

What you really want in a G4! A Sawtooth!
The Yike's G4 put the taste of G4's into my mouth, and while the Yikes! is a great entry level machine it's handicapped by itself. So I had to have another, a Sawtooth.
This machine came to me loaded perhaps a bit too loaded, but none the less, it's a fun machine with a 1.2GHz G4 socketed to an AGP 2x motherboard. Mine came loaded, including maxed out RAM of 2GB of PC100. (4x512MB.) Which for the early 00s when this system would have been in use, was quite a bit and would have cost a lot.
Hardware wise, the only thing I've really done with it was remove the unneeded second graphics card, (it's going into the Yikes! machine) and replaced the incorrect PATA cable with the correct one. Installing the correct PATA cable is actually not as easy as it sounds since the cable is tucked under the motherboard, the 3rd harddrive slot and up the left side of the machine behind the fan bracket. I tied up the power cables which were all over the place in a nice tight bundle. If I ever have to add a second hard drive to the system I'll curse at myself but that's something for future me to do.
Tip with the chassis fan, it's actually in intake fan that blows across the cards and not an exhaust like I thought it was, it's a self managed fan with a thermistor to control the speed. It's speed is not set by the thermals in the system but by the air temperature it's drawing in. The exhaust fan is on the PSU.
To Do:

Tag 8: Military Grade Computing Power von Apple
Drei faszinierende Apple Work Stations der Steve Jobs Ära. Von quietschbunt zur Käsereibe. Die Apple Power Macs mit den Prozessoren G3, G4 und G5 waren das beste was Apple bieten konnte. Alle drei Computer stehen in meinem Computermuseum.
Der achte Beitrag in meiner Reihe von Beiträgen zur Neugestaltung der Ausstellung in meinem Computermuseum. Heute und an weiteren 25 Tagen stelle ich die Zusammenstellung meiner Ausstellungsstücke vor. Habe ich schon erwähnt, dass ich ein großer Apple Fan bin? Und dass die größten Macs der letzten 25 Jahre in meinem Computermuseum stehen? Ja, es sind die Power Macs mit den letzten Power PC…

What a certain number of people would continue to insist were "the good old days" continued in this issue. Should you have had the latest hardware from Apple, there was a tongue-in-cheek piece about putting lights inside your Power Mac G5 to shine through the air holes perforating its aluminum front...
