In the era of RGB, what could be better than gloss plastic and mirror finish?

My drat iMac 5K at work keeps shutting down randomly. Can't wait to fight with the Genius Bar when they say nothing is wrong. Fresh install, reset PRAM, reset SMC, tried safe mode, it shuts down randomly every time. Tried diagnostics and the machine passes every time. Did some googling and apparently its a thing.

Or use the pinnacle of Apple desktop workstation design, the G4 Quicksilver chassis.

Weedle posted:Definitely not in the next one, and probably not in the one after that either; they run so hot that Intel says you probably shouldn't run them without water cooling. I looked up the tech specs and it's 140W TDP, which is the same as a lot of previous Intel chips that have been fine when air cooled. Granted, if you're doing the 1337 overclock every day d00ds thing you wouldn't dare without a water cooler since power skyrockets beyond the TDP rating when you start boosting voltage much, but 140W TDP on stock settings is doable with air cooling. Especially if done cheesegrater Mac Pro style.

Smells like bad RAM to me, could also be defective logic board or bad video card / badly heatsinked video chip. Apples video card diagnostic should sort it out.

I legit hosed up my wrist from lugging my (plastic) G4 from college to home one summer break. Had to get a splint because I picked it up too fast, and strained it. Those things were heavy before they were metal. EDIT: Mine was 31 pounds according to EveryMac.

Other than the handles the plastic was just cosmetic; those things were steel sheetmetal underneath and it was heavy gauge stuff iirc. Still lighter than G5 and onwards, both because they were minitower size systems and the cheese grater case makes up for aluminum being lightweight by using 1/8" thick slabs of it.

The Mac Pro can easily get over 50 lbs. I know this because that makes it expensive to fly with.

After running a custom 3 radiator water loop system in a corsair 900D for a few years my Mac Pro is light as gently caress. But the handles really do need to be chamfered.

Recently I have been traveling more with my mid-2009 15 inch MBP. Whenever I travel I just take my one large backpack and try to efficiently pack everything I need so sometimes my bag is pretty full and puts pressure on my laptop. Sometimes when I open my laptop there's a circle in the middle of the screen from the pressure. Do you guys I suggest I buy one of those hard plastic cases for my laptop?

a microfibre cloth laid down on the keyboard to spread the pressure over a wider area would probably do the trick as well as prevent the keyboard from being permanently imprinted in your screen

I'd also look into getting a bag that has a padded compartment specifically for the laptop. That can help prevent pressure issues. They aren't super cheap, but most of them will also work with different sized laptops so you don't need to get a new bag every time you get a new computer.

I do have a padded laptop compartment but since my bag is usually full it still puts some pressure on my laptop.... so with that I'm thinking maybe a hard case is the best option?

Would a hard case give it enough rigidity? Those things still flex across the middle if you put pressure on them. I think the larger issue is that laptops - case or no case - really don't like having pressure applied directly to the middle of them. Personally I'd look more at the packing situation and see if I could alleviate pressure that way first.

LCD fracture or the board touching the top case could cause a short. Bad idea

I know we used to have a classic Mac thread but I can't find it. I dug out a Blueberry iMac G3/400 slot-loader from a recycle pile. It's got 512MB of RAM, an ATI 3D accelerator, and OS 9.1 installed. The internet says they can run all the way up to Tiger. How well will a G3 run 10.4? I want to play Escape Velocity, dammit.

Poorly, I'd expect. But weren't all the EV games classic/carbon apps that would run on 9.1 anyways?

Or you could just run Nova with the classic plugins on a modern intel mac, but I understand how that isn't quite the same. You can literally play the original EV on anything from a performa to a current mac.

It would be cool if they could make a USB-C/Thunderbolt MagSafe. Not sure how it would work, maybe bring the pins far up on the female end so you don't need a long sheath and the cable could just pop out. But still backwards compatible with regular USB-C cables.

A universal USB 3.1 / Thunderbolt 3 MagSafe would be ideal.

There's basically a third party version of this already, but it has a bunch of lovely reviews.
