[Early Access] A Macintosh Quadra 700 Story, With Dinosaurs and Everything!
🕑 Added 2021-05-22 02:31:33 +0000 UTCSorry for cutting this early access down to the wire - I tried some new stuff with b-roll in this video, and it took a lot longer for it. I'm really happy with how it came out though!
Today we're going to take a look at a Quadra 700, Apple's first Mac minitower and an absolutely iconic machine which, for some reason, makes me think of dinosaurs...
We're also going to max out this machine with a really incredible purple upgrade with an interesting story, and talk about some big plans I have for this machine.

How curious, the chip in the corner of the case seems common in these designs. I call it the Aurora bite, as it's very common on the Aurora chassis used by the SS5/20 workstations. I wonder what causes it? Taking the lead off unevenly would be my guess. Do you plan to try and repair yours?

You missed a couple of opportunities to throw “spared no expense “ into the video… but you did show off one of the tattoos we don’t normally see, and it’s a totally cool dinosaur head, so I guess it’s even. (But “spared no expense” would explain current Quadra 700 pricing… just saying.)
