Tearing into a nasty first generation iMac G3 that had been long coated in rotted beer and who knows what else... it was gross - What should I do with the insides of this thing? After much cleaning of the outer casing and some glue my cat Augie has an epic little cat house
Couple mistakes made during this video - Right from the start I say its "Slot-loading" drive when it is the tray load, and the speakers in this first generation were also Harman Kardon ! Unscripted and many beers drank while recording the first disassembly :)
