POWER MAC G4 SPECS M8570 UPGRADE

I couldn't remove the blue marks - one to tackle another day. The side panels were a little challenging, but I did make some improvement to them.Tooth paste worked the best for removing the stubborn scuff marks.ДЄfter.

This won't be recapped for now as it seems fine. I gave it a quick clean, took the fan out to clean it, and put it back together. No surprises here, it looks pretty clean and there's no obvious sign of any imminent component failure. I took the cover off the PSU to inspect it. I made some progress with the permanent marker, but got bored of scrubbing, so this is where it's up to now. The chassis is very roomy when there's nothing in there.

With the back cover removed, the Mac starts to look more naked. It's not surprising, but the vents don't have lots of room so dust gets stuck easily over time.Дon't worry fan, you'll get some attention soon. This was a little tricky but they eventually loosened up - and they didn't break! There are plastic clips behind the fan assembly which need to be pushed inwards to release the side panel. The fan assembly has to be removed first. OK, it was then time to remove the first side panel. Someone wrote 'M' in permanent marker on the back.ugh I didn't want to spend ages scrubbing the handles, so I soaked them in hot water and detergent The state I received the bottom covers and handles in: I started at 11AM today and finished at 3.30PM, to completey disassemble and clean everything and then reassemble the machine. I can't go further than that until I get some storage for the machine. I did a power on test, and the machine boots from a Tiger disc OK - System profiler confirms the RAM / CPU specs I've mentioned above. The real reason I bought the machine, the Sonnet Encore GT upgrade: Side panels have seen better days, but most of this is just light surface marks although some of the scratches are deep. Typical dirt under the top cover, no idea how this happens but it seems to be a common problem. What I'm doing to begin with is cleaning, I don't like working on a dirty machine so this is my first priority, upgrades and further changes can come later. When I received the machine, it was not in the best of condition (cosmetically), but most of this was just because it hadn't been cleaned for a long time by the looks of it. It has been upgraded to 1.5 GB RAM by the previous owner. The stock speed of this machine was 400MHz.
