  Thank you for your video. I managed the design team that developed that product. Kind of felt like my work was being pulled out of an ancient tomb, and studied!  Appreciate your cleanup and comments!

  I can't stand watching how thoroughly they clean the radiator, but at the same time dust and dirt remains on the board

  Please don’t use SATA power connectors to power a GPU, it could end up burning out the entire PC. <br>Instead, use the two power connectors located near the middle front fan. Those are specifically meant for supplying power to a graphics card (you’ll need an adapter cable).

  I used to dream of owning this beast back in 2010, but it was incredibly expensive. With taxes and customs, it used to cost around $5,000 in my country—which is a fortune by today&apos;s standards. It was one of my biggest dreams, and today I&apos;m actually looking for one. You just brought back so many memories, and I’m definitely going to start searching for a unit to upgrade just like you did. Thank you so much!

  I’ve got one of these beasts—an older model, but seeing this makes me want to bring it back to life and give it the restoration it deserves.

  I worked on a few of these machines between 2008 and 2015 for video editing primarily. I remember being really upset when I had to give my tower up because we were &quot;upgrading&quot; to the iMacs at the office. Great restoration and upgrade BTW 😊

  Without question, the cheese grater is the finest computer tower that Apple ever produced, and one of the finest ever. I can also report it was the best gaming PC I ever had. The engineering on that thing is simply superb. I still have mine, though it&apos;s long retired.

  The most beautiful for me is the iMac with the swivel screen. Gosh, what a beauty was that.

  Ja, I still have mine. Well, my 2012 Mac Pro. Great machine. I upgraded the heck out of it. It&apos;s still great for almost everything. &nbsp;I use it for Internet browsing, messaging, email, word processing, spreadsheets, desktop publishing at the lower end, playing music, watching videos, playing games like EQ1, DAoC, &amp; old WoW, all these done on the older MacOS ability to boot into Windows 7. &nbsp;Anyway, this machine is a joy.
