![[Mac G4 tower]](m_g4twr.jpg)
Most recent revision date Aug 25 2008. This page lists my inventory of Apple's G3 and later Macs. Earlier
systems are also available on my site, at the links below. For technical descriptions and version information,
check the "Low End Mac" Web site at this link.
To order, please follow this link for
ordering information, terms and conditions, and info about
orders outside the USA. A complete list of pointers to our Mac inventory, services and
information can be found on my Mac home page.
I'm listing these systems below as typical parts sources, but the "value" of complete iMac G4 systems is low relative to shipping costs and packing difficulties, so these are not available as systems. See my iMac, eMac parts for part prices.
graphite G3 iMac DV SE Special Edition, 400MHz or 500MHz PPC 750 with slot loading 4x DVD-ROM, 13GB ATA drive, Airport card
graphite iMac, 600MHz 600 MHz PPC 750CXe (a.k.a. G3e) with slot loading 8x/4x/24x CD-RW, 40GB Ultra ATA drive, Airport card
blue iMac, 400MHz with slot loading CD drive, 10GB drive, airport card
Here's some Web site links to inform you about G3 and G4 models and features. This article from Apple's Info site talks about differences among Apple's G4 systems VGA, ADC and DVI video cards and ports. This article from Low End Mac talks about G3 blue and white model differences. This article from AppleLinks.com talks about Yikes! versus Sawtooth.Some info about G3 grey/platinum ROM and motherboard revisions are in this document.
Some customers are interested in upgrading G4 AGP Sawtooth systems to dual processors. This upgrade apparently depends on the version of the motherboard (so called version 2) or revision of the chipset "Uni-N" or "Uni-North" on the motherboard (the uni-n=7 version). To find the version using System Profiler, or the motherboard revision, check this text document". For more information, do a Web search "Uni-N G4 Sawtooth" to find links to descriptions and methods regarding such upgrades. We don't advise on these issues; at best we can try to identify the revisions of items we sell and offer.
I'm listing these systems below as typidal parts sources, but sales of complete G4 towers have been zero in 2007, so these are not available as systems.
Apple uses "model M5183" to identify ALL the G3 and G4 "tower" type case models. Sorry about that! You need to check the motherboard part number to know what kind of G4 you have and what parts are compatible.
G4 400MHz "Sawtooth" AGP graphics I have a grey tower G4 with 400Mhz processor 820-1163 A, model M5183, motherboard 820-1094 A, serial number ends ...YHQTD (version 2?) This has DVD-ROM (Matshita 8585), ZIP drive, the usual Ethernet/Firewire/USB. Power supply (*SOLD* 03/06) had 20-pin connector (no +28 volts), Apple 614-0108 from Delta (DPS-200PB-110). The AGP video card (ATI Rage 128, 630-3102) has a VGA connector and the digital DVI-D port (no power to monitor). Power/reset panel 820-1067-A. Boots and runs OK. System not available except for parts. Shipping weight 38 lbs. See the parts section for specific parts from this system, or ask for a quote.
G4 500MHz "Sawtooth" AGP graphics I have a grey tower G4 with 500Mhz processor, motherboard 820-1094 A, similar to the above system and available as parts. See the parts section for specific parts from this system, or ask for a quote.
G4 533MHz "Digital Audio" AGP graphics I have a grey tower G4 with 533Mhz processor, model M5183, motherboard 820-1173-A 630-33260. This has sony CD-RW, the usual Ethernet/Firewire/USB. This system has the power supply with 28 volts and 22-pin connector (630-0112, AcBel API-9841-291) and AGP video card (NVIDIA GEFORCE 2MX 32MB 600-8624) to provide 28 volts to the ADC port to send power and USB to the Mac studio monitor. Power/reset panel. Boots and runs OK. System not available except for parts. Shipping weight 38 lbs. See the parts section for specific parts from this system, or ask for a quote.
I'm listing these systems below as typidal parts sources, but sales of complete G3 B&W's have been zero in 2007, so these are not available as systems.
Apple uses "model M5183" to identify ALL the G3 and G4 "tower" type case models. Sorry about that! You need to check the motherboard part number to know what kind of G3 you have and what parts are compatible.
G3 350Mhz blue & white tower Yosemite rev 2 I have a few Blue and White G3 tower, 350MHz systems. This is a "revision 2" motherboard (improved IDE/ATA, 90MHz video card) number 820-1049A. Zip drive, CD-ROM drive, ethernet/firewire/USB ports, ADB port, ATI video card 630-2858. Power supply 614-0085, DPS 200PB. No modem. Boots and runs OK. (Note: one system has a ATI 630-2896 video card. one system has a AcBel API-8594 power supply.)
G3 350MHz Blue and white tower rev 1 for parts. I have a few Blue and White G3 tower, Rev 1, 350MHz systems from which I've removed processors or other parts. What remains are the cases, motherboards, ZIP drives, power supplies and video cards. Power supplies are all 614-0085 DPS 200PB models; ATI video cards are either 630-2858 or 630-2896. If you ask for parts, I'll pull them from these first. All were tested before removing processors.
Note: Apple uses "model M5183" to identify ALL the G3 and G4 "tower" type case models. Sorry about that!
See the parts section for prices on specific parts, or ask for a quote. There has been so little interest in grey G3's, we no longer offer them as systems. We do offer parts. See the G3 grey/platinum system parts section for prices on specific parts, or ask for a quote. Apple brand Airport wireless cards for the iMac and related computers are available, I have a few. These were pulled from G4 iMac 400MHz 500Mhz DV systems or 600Mhz CD-ROM systems. These are NOT "express" or "extreme" but the original Airport cards, with the iMac G4 adapter also available. Cards are available for $49 with the G4 adapter, $39 without the adapter, plus shipping and packing. Limited supply.
The following are pulled from graphite iMac G3 slot loading 400MHz to 600MHz systems: Parts are from the above G4 tower systems, or other sources.
G4 Gigabit motherboard, Apple P/N: 661-2331 Assembly/N: 820-1153-A . $39 plus shipping G4 grey tower chassis used parts
These are USED parts in good condition, some have scuffs. Please don't ask for "perfect" or "mint". Apple part numbers can be found on the items themselves. Prices exclude shipping, shipping may add several dollars. Bigger parts equal higher cost in most cases. Ask about specific parts. Also look among my G3 chassis parts for parts common to both G3 and G4 towers.
G3 B&W motherboard, Yosemite rev 2 820-1049A, faster PCI video slot. Without processor, $19 plus shipping G3 Blue and White (B&W) chassis used parts
These are USED "G3 blue and white" parts in good condition, some many have scuffs. Please don't ask for "perfect" or "mint". Apple part numbers can be found on the items themselves. Prices exclude shipping, shipping may add several dollars.
Bigger parts equal higher cost in most cases. Ask about specific parts.
Some new parts are available on a seperate page of unused service parts. They are listed by Apple part number and brief descriptions.
Parts for grey/platinum G3 systemsCommon parts across models like power supplies, floppy drives are available
on my Mac Parts page. We will list here motherboards, processors, and
typical cards for the grey-and-white G3's, such as USB, FireWire and video cards; other PCI bus cards are available
on my Mac cards page's PCI section. Links to other parts are below.
Generally, if we have a system we can offer parts from that system. Whatever part you want, tell us what system
you have, describe the part, and also tell us any Apple or manufacture part numbers on the part if possible.
The revision history of these grey G3's is confusing. Check these two Web links for G3 and revision descriptions: grey G3 rev 2 motherboard and 300MHz or 266MHz processor, . grey G3 rev 1 motherboard and 233MHz or 266MHz processor, ROM code $77D,40F1. SGRAM, SO-DIMM, memory for G3 video. Lable KMM965G512BQN. $10 plus shipping.
Grey G3 audio and audio/video cards These cards plug into the G3 audio/video card slot. G3 tower case parts, also for 9600 and 8600 grey tower systems: G3 desktop case parts, some also fit PowerMac 7200 7300 7500 7600 cases. Other G3 grey tower or desktop system items: Unused repair parts, with Apple part numbers. Ask for a price.
Apple SCSI-2 card: Some G3's and G4's were offered with Apple's SCSI-2 controller card and "wide" SCSI-2 (68 pin) drives.
See my SCSI PCI card pagefor details on that PCI SCSI card and prices.
See my SCSI drive page for SCSI-2 drivs for this card.
this Apple article talks about Apple SCSI cards for G3 and G4 systems.
Most of our Mac PCI bus cards for video, SCSI, USB, Firewire, etc., are on our Mac PCI card page.
Memory:Our G3's may be sold with modest amounts of RAM memory. You can buy
memory for these systems from us on our Mac memory page.
Drives: Hard drives, ZIP drives and CD-ROM drives
(SCSI or ATA/IDE) are available on my drives Web page.
Software: We have none. No OS software, no CD's. Any software on these systems is without warrenty
and is not part of the sale price. We just sell hardware.
Some new parts are available on a seperate page of unused service parts.
They are listed by Apple part number and brief descriptions. Used parts for many Mac models - power supplies,
floppy drives, cables, keyboards and mice, and so on - are listed on our parts page.
Non-G3 accelerators are listed in our Parts page section on accelerators and caches.
Sonnet G3 400/512K Processor card plug-in for 7200 PowerMac systems, plugs into L2 (cache) socket. 400MHz speed maximum,
depends on clock speed of bus of system in use. $29 plus shipping.

Notes on accelerators: For software and system extensions, check the Web or our
list of Mac Web pointers for links to
sites with such software. One site with a lot of upgrade info is
everymac.com; I've linked to their NewerTech descriptions here. Also check Sonnet's Web site for their universal system extensions.
We can't guarantee that an accelerator
will work in your system, as they are very sensitive to the memory
used, motherboards and their speeds, etc. So we offer a rebate on purchase price
if you return the card promptly AND it works satisfactorily when returned and
tested. Of course we test our accelerators before shipping. Ask for details
of these terms when ordering, they may vary for specific items.
None available as of Oct 2007.
Older Mac laptops and their parts can be found on this Web page.
