Pimping my Mac

Have you ever wanted to own a piece of Mac gaming history? Well, now you can! ;-)

This is my trusty G4 dual 800 MHz PowerMac. When I had this Mac, I did almost all of my game porting work for Westlake and Aspyr on it. It was my "main axe" for many years, and I have grown quite attached to it. With Beth back in school, our money is a little tight through the holidays, so I figure it's time to let it go to a better home.

I used this Mac for MacMAME development, most (all?) of the Star Wars ports I did for Aspyr, EverQuest and Halo development and probably several other games. It was definitely my main Mac for the longest time, and I'm getting a little nostalgic just thinking about letting it go. But life goes on.

I've upgraded this Mac with an M-Audio Revolution 7.1 surround sound card, a GeForce 4Ti AGP card and a Radeon PCI card. It's also got an ATA/100 PCI card, so you can add more hard drives to it. I had a 3rd drive in it for the longest time, and just now removed it for this auction. That said, one of the 2 remaining drives (the 30GB one) appears to be going bad. Not a huge deal, since it's now erased and contains nothing. I've mainly included it because I can't be bothered to remove it from the case. :-)

Brad!

Hey dude, it just so happens that I've been looking for such a system as a application server for my lab. I'll have to put in a bit or two and see what happens.
