yeah that's a G5 gc, one of the macs i had that i ended up having a bit of an emotional attachment to (she's gone now though).  after buying it i maxed out everything except the ram (which iirc could go to 32gb, which was MASSIVE back then & would've cost thousands).  i also had a modded radeon pc card in it to run the 2 screens.

in one of the photos where you can see benches in the background you can see a G4 quicksilver & next to that is a G4 mirror drive door which are both still in that spot in retirement.  the quicksilver is still 100% fine, but the MDD has a stuffed power supply.  it's maxed out with crap though, 4 hdds, modded pc dual head video card, massive fan mod ready to be hardware overclocked but i never had the balls to do it.  the G5's been sold & nowadays i just use a macbook pro with an external 24" screen when i'm at the desk.  the epson printer in those photos is gone too now & has been replaced with a new model epson (which isn't using an external ink system atm but i think i'll have to return to one, it's way too thirsty).

Yeah mate - the blue G3's were great too... G4's and G5's were the best. Gone are the days. Completely understand the attachment. I'm yet to get myself a Mac Pro for work at home... but this iMac is doing just fine for the stuff I'm doing on it.

My parents were one of the first studios in Australia to have computers in the late 80's. A rig would cost  around 30K and they were only good for typesetting.

They had 6 rigs at one stage... networked. In the mid 90's, on the weekend we used to sneak in there and play Marathon.

Networked PCs back then were awesome .  I remember when I started work in '99, you could still play Quake at launch across the network at work (Public Service) - they shut it down not long after that though.  Anyways, main reason for this post is to say "Great recliner Graph ".
