Me: His accent sounds Australian
Dead spider inside the computer
Me: Yep, Australia confirmed
true
An episode of Peppa Pig was banned in Australia because people feared that it had misleading information in it about spiders
My girlfriend is Australian. Easily recognizable accent to me.
hey your account is old, i immediately realized that because of your profile pic, reminds me to a lot of stuff of the old internet
I knew he was Australian for a long time
Oh man I didn't know australian eMacs came with a spider included
M. S.O gadgets
M. S.O the box should have said spider included
M. S.O Apple Australia must have been really on top of their game
Later models came with a cane toad
M. S.O lol
that emac microphone sounds better than some people’s dedicated mics for recording videos
yeah
Yeah
better than most the people on xbox live
nuts
Thats because theirs is made from bootleg mp3 player headphones
As a former repairman, I can assure you: you'll never be struck by high voltage from the CRT if you are careful. 25 000 volts is only on the second anode of CRT and 24 hours isn't enough time to discharge that huge capacitor (I mean CRT). I used to replace CRTs, so there is a little trick: you need to short the second anode to the ground before disconnect it. A spark will be not so loud if you shorted it though some powerful resistor. But always be careful. You're making interesting videos. Thank you, man
I was going to say this, I doubt waiting 24 hours would be enough to discharge that CRT. Its better to carefully rig up something to short it out like you said.
When he turned that Mac on I was like wtf has this guy not had middle school physics
That was a spider?!!! I thought it was a massive dust ball
'straya
That was a big spider
luckily, when he powered it on, it killed it
My first thought was "holy thats a large spider" but then I was like "wait I dont think thats a spider" guess I was wrong
CrazedSymptoms yep bye!
eMac: * exists *
Spider: It's free real estate.
WAIT CC?
gd bros gd Hi
Cc what do you mean by this?
Jack Royer 2 mean by what? Free real estate? It’s a meme from Tim and Eric.

I guess you could say that computer had a few "bugs" HAHAHA.... I'll see myself out

I guess that joke crawled out
too bad spiders arent bugs

Srsly I’m Australian
VnM ILLuZioNz can't take a joke smh
So if this guy was a DJ his name whould be deadspyd3r because he found a dead spider in his computer just like deadmau5 found a dead mouse in his PC
micheuu yes
Deadspyde2
Bro who else was dying when they saw that spider in the computer 😂😂
Everybody
the spider
Ethan D lol
i just can't understan how it in there
ME
I did my first successful iPhone repair today :D
congrats!
Same!
awesome!!
Congrats!😇
What iPhone was it?
What a beautiful piece of technology. Man, I miss the old days.
It truely is a beautiful thing, a real piece of art in itself.
On occasion, my late husband used to deliberately shock himself while fixing the old style black and white TV. This used to disturb and irritate me, but he assured me that it gave him "a buzz".
I am just glad HJ that safety is always at the forefront of your fine work.
3:11 that's the sound of the degausser, it's perfectly normal. Degaussers send an oscillating magnetic field through the shadow mask to dissipate any charges it may have picked up as those can cause discoloration
The problem is when you have displays that didn't have a built in degausser like with arcade machine CRT's.
If some dickhead kid brings a magnet in to screw with the screen it generally ain't going to fix itself up unless you whip out a degausing wand
@@AstralPhnx A magnet can undo it depending on how much it messed up.
That's a very large spider, wonder how it got in there.
@MadMax if it was a baby when it got in it would most likely die before it aged due to the 25000 volts when your turn it on unless it got in it when it was in the box for years
Nah mate it’s cuz it’s Australia
@@ceejaybs But 25kV is inside the tube, not on the outside..
@Mog and Cobweb you actually dont wanna know because it was digusting to see that spider
Mog and Cobweb Did you watch the whole video?
Used to love these things. For CRT "flicker" you can sometimes adjust the refresh rate the camera is capturing at to synch with the refresh rate that the screen is updating on. The Flicker is sometimes just a case of the camera capturing a frame halfway through a screen refresh.
We had like maybe 30 of these in my elementary school and i remember using them from when i was in kindergarten to 2nd grade. They were complete with the same mice (which i would always study them in awe due to their cool looking transparent design) and keyboards which were also yellowed.
Wow what memories! I installed dozens of these 65 lb beasts. I loved the G4 iMac that looked like a lamp and had one on my desk for many years.
If there is still a way to connect this to the internet it would be cool to see what you could still do on it in 2019.
By the way love the vids
It does have an Ethernet port, though I'm not sure if the web browsers it has
are supported anymore
@@GardevoirTrainer1 safari and osx will get you online real easy
Came pre-installed with Internet Explorer as part of the bail-out deal between Microsoft and NeXT/Apple.
Safari wasn’t introduced until 10.3 Panther.
Camino 1was a Mozilla-based browser with native Aqua/Cocoa UI that was popular at the time.
Firefox 2 was the last version that supported Jaguar.
The last version of MacOS supported on this was 10.4 Tiger which did have Safari, and was compatible with Camino 1.5 and Firefox 3, but they are still not modern browsers.
This is definitely a museum device and not suitable for modern computing.
Compare to a Pentium 4 running Windows XP SP1 with an nVidia GeForce2 MX, except it actually looks good (subjectively).

Depending on the camera you're using to create this video, all you have to do is manually adjust the shutter speed to match the refresh rate of the monitor. Great find btw. Remember using these in High School back in 2009-2010 before they replaced them all with newer iMacs after I graduated.
Adjust your camera shutter speed and the CRT flickering gone!
I remember using those in elementary school, i feel so old wtf 💀💀
And I Oop- I feel so young. I guess I'm very young. I wasn't even in my mother's womb when these eMac's came out. Yes, I'm a 14 year old.
lol you're not old, when these things were new in 2003 I was already in my 30s.
@Suave Flow idk lol 😂 I'm only 14 so it wasn't that many years ago but i also have a pretty good memory
Suave Flow oh. Maybe your Brain RAM is Full and couldn‘t been saved to the Hard disc
When I was in Elementary school we used Apple IIe's. Who's old now? lol.
the 8 bit guy have a videos about retro brite
+1
I never knew about the technique before I discovered The 8 Bit Guy! I have an old PS1 here that needs retrobrite and a 1970s AM Radio :D
@@JesseTinkers 🙂👍
Ik
Ethan from MYT your username seems familiar
I genuinely was waiting for the test of the microphone because i didnt believe that was the built in mic. Its a million times better than most built in mics today
9:18 Apple needs to bring these sounds back!
This is so sad. I always watch your Videos when they get released. And its always 1 o'clock in the morning here in Germany. I should think about my sleeping times.
Ja moin, der Aal wird am nächsten Tag geguckt.
Guten Morgen aus Deutschland:D
Moin, Gruß aus Deutschland!
LG auch aus Deutschland , ich kenne das
No lie, if I saw that tarantula I'd move house just to stay away from it
Definitely not a Tarantula, maybe a big Huntsman
Sydney huntsman. Completely harmelss
@@davidlp3019 BUT HUGE, I can't imagine living in a place where this kind of spiders live freely XD Thank god we don't have big spiders in Poland
@@Eminialetta haha nice. I'm used to em I live in Sydney. I live in an apartment block which are kind of surrounded by gardens, so in the summer when these spiders don't hibernate I see em all the time. A few years ago I got up at 2am to go to the toilet, and as I returned to my room I saw a massive one of these huntsman's the size of my hand (literally), on the wall 3 feet from where I was sleeping. Not gonna lie that kinda put the wind up me and I didn't sleep that well that night lol. Thankfully haven't had that happen since, nor have I seen one that big since. Huntsmans can give painful bite but are totally harmless, and they're actually good to have around cause they eat all the cockroaches and bugs and stuff. So many people keep them alive lol. The real scary one is the sydney funnel web. Ranked as the world's most venomous toxin, a good bite can kill in 20 mins without antivenom. Mainly located on the north shore of Sydney. They can't jump so it's recommended to put them in a jar then take them to the reptile park where they are miles to make anti venom.
Huntsman.
I've seen a few videos where you point out screens flickering as a camera problem. you're correct, and you can fix it. it's the framerate of your camera and the refresh rate of the screen not meshing well.
I remembered using these computers back when I was in elementary school back in 2007-2008 before my school's swaped them out in 2010 with Dell computers, so these were just part of my childhood
I would love to see how you whiten the keyboard keys.
Watch the 8-bit guy. He does it almost every week
The graphic design class at my vocational learning center had a bunch of these. I was in computer networking and we had PCs. I think this is where my PC vs Mac alliances first formed. Kinda nostalgic. It was probably mentioned but if you file at the same framerate at the refresh rate of the monitor you can eliminate the flickers. Old video I know you probably no this by now.
We bought an eMac new in 2003 and it served us quite well for 7-8 years. When we retired it, it still functioned well aside from a DVD tray that refused to open.
Compressed air for the dust in the back vent. Any time I’m working on restorations and just need to get rid of dust at a high volume or get it out of a tight space, the air compressor is the best tool for the job. Shop vacuum is a close second.
The back vent comes off. I disassembled one of my eMacs to clean it and if I remember correctly it just prys off along the sides of the metal chassis
Fun fact, RMS NSW still uses imac G4’s for their computer driving tests.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Next time you want to clean dust off the inside of a computer, you can use an air compressor. Thats what I used to clean the inside of my old Xbox 360 and it was cleaned in about a second!
Me: *goes to the comments genuinely curious what people have to say*
The comments: "OMG DID YOU SEE THE SPIDER IN THE COMPUTER??"
Geometry dash I will complete the nightmare
Hey Hugh, I love your videos! Notifications got me here (as usual ☺️), and watching from all the way in Canada.
You must have some Chunky spiders in Australia! I’d be scared to see that thing anywhere! It’s nothing like what we have in Canada geez.
I’m Australian and I can confirm a lot of them are “chunky”
I love the sound of the startup
Congratulations for the 200k subs! Keep making great videos!
Bro I think you got scared when you turn in on. hahah
Nice your about to hit 200k subs congrats
Love these kinds of videos thank you, Mr Jeffreys
That spider totally beats my worst tech repair find (a mouse that had electrocuted itself on the power board in a photocopier).
I’ve never seen one of these before, the design is gorgeous.
eMacs were only sold to the educational sector. Flat screens at the time cost a lot. So the CRT was for budgetary reasons.
But this was around the tipping point when flatscreens started to cost less for the manufacturer to make and because they took up a lot less room and weight, a lot was saved on shipping and storage. (How many boxes of LCDs would take up a box for a single CRT? Imagine being Best Buy realizing how many more of these devices you can stock and how much more and in demand they sell for.)
I would have screamed, cried, and thrown myself into the trash can if I saw that tarantula of a spider even if it was dead omfg
I remember one of my aunts having an e-mac when I was younger. Definitely a great mac that should have more love
your all videos are interesting i haven't found any that i skip or forwarded. Keep it up.
Hugh is the type of guy to never buy electronics new, although being a technician
eMac for sale
Buy your own eMac! Comes with a flickering screen when recording.
And what made the eMac what it is today, a dead spider!!!!!!!
Dead spider included
(Oh dam this got 52 likes, and yes I know it flickers when it is recording, it’s a normal thing. I probably just said it wrong. This update was in 2021)
Calder Productions 10:56
It can also come with d3ath due to screen running at 29 thousand volts who wouldnt want that?
Congrats on 200k bro!!!!!!!
I remember we had these when I was in middle school around 2007. I thought they were so cool I didn’t realize they were already 4 years old lol!
I'm very curious about how is that spider got into that eMac🤣 great video as always, Hugh! A piece of an old tech are always been interesting to watch nowadays since they were considered as a high-tech device that day back then. Been a new subscribers here since alot of your vintage computer videos:))
This brought back a lot of memories.
My first computer was a system 7 Mac. I've used every version of Mac OS after. 😔
Me too. (1991).
It was a Mac LCII. 4MB RAM. 20MB HD. Mac OS 7.1 (7 floppy discs to load OS)🌈😎🌀
I still have an eMac in the back of my cupboard😙
May the Force
be with you.🌀
(-: :-)
I actually remember using one in music class back in 2014 as they had those EMACs at my high school! :)
I love how he says "As you can see there is a dead spider" so casually.
An old school has one of these monitors it still works but no one uses it.
It's not a monitor, it's a Mac
Trevor Sutter OK
@@sierra991 No it's a condom
Marem Warkhungam you’re neither funny nor Sherlock Holmes so shut up
@@cidsx Why should I shut up,who cares if you think I am not funny or not,no one gives a shit about your opinion and stop liking your own comment
you can take a look at the 8-bit-guy, he made tons of videos on retrobright/restoring apple keyboards, he even has a video where he restores this exact keyboard
That boot up noise was the sound of pure nostalgia and bliss
I love the 17-in flat CRT screen on those things.
Who else remembers using these back in middle school?👌
Me!
I found one of these for free!!!
Had keyboard and mouse and even the box
It needed to be wiped and updated and Apple sent me everything I needed for free as well!
Great Video Hugh!
The mac chime is just so good and nostalgic and they still use it today
I just love your videos mate.
Reminds me of my elementary school library that had a bunch of these 😌
Sadie Blackwell ||-//
XD I thought you got zaped by the emac when it turned on I am glad you didt get zaped
The huntsman spider did.
Just remember that CRTs are dangerous if you don’t know what you are doing.
Hugh; are you going to collect the G3 iMacs too? Do you have that much storage space?
Zaped? D’ya mean zapped?
My primary school had these back in 2009. Still remember the dong sound as it booted up as well as the CD drive that used to pop out. That startup chime haven't heard that in years, that brought memories.
Modern macs should still chime if your volume is on and up when you shut down. Edit: on the very latest of macs it is disabled, but can be easily reenabled.
Congrats on 200,000 subscribers!
What a nice vintage apple product :) great video Hugh ❤️
CuzzystyleTV by the time you posted this comment you haven’t even finished the video though
6:26 Spider Man Has Came to help restore it XD
I know it's nerdy but I think this guy is a legend also because he has so much fun with obsolete computers and such.
Congratulations for 200k subscribers
lol i love the welcome sound of the old MACs
like if u agree
i like the starting sound
Recently I *created* a *CUSTOM* iPhone 5c from two destroyed phones! Made a awesome video on this!
Super crazy how it turned out to look. Looks so amazing it’s unreal.
#SavingFromLandfills
Btw we have gumtree in Britain too lol.
Awesome 5c restoration bro looks amazing!
Now u can put 5s motherboard in 5c housing have
Affiliated Apple it turned out brilliantly
I really enjoyed this as this was the first mac that I worked on. Got it in 2003 and got seven years out of it.
Dude I love your videos!!!❤
Dead spider? Its a freaking tarantula. Where do you live?
Bob Fleming He lives in Australia
Pretty sure he lives in Australia and yeah I agree its huge
Not a tarantula. Local spider in Australia called, "Huntsman". Very common here. We like them. One can handle, with care and knowledge. They frequent the dark places in our houses, eating other insects (for us). Want some?
That was only a little Australian Spider. Huntsmen can get much bigger than that, but are mostly harmless. They do bite and are (mildly) venomous, but still less dangerous than a house cat. Not quite as cuddly as a house cat, but still furry.
When is that outside iPod video coming out. been waiting
Has been out for almost 6 months
@@Jordyperson no he said that he will be doing an updated video once he gets all the parts
congrats on 200,000 subscribers
If your camera has an option to change the shutter speed, you can match it to the refresh rate of a CRT monitor to prevent the banding or swiping issue.
Me: well it's not that dirty
Hugh: And first thing I'm gonna do is get rid of that dead spider
Me: Okay it's pretty dirty
Get an air compressor and blow all the dust out of that computer. You got probably 30% of the dust out by wiping it. Compressed air is the best way to remove dust.
Waiting eagerly for next part😍😍😍
Lucky you..!!!!! what a full set!!
10:56 it actually is avoidable, you just have to adjust the shutter speed on the camera as far as I recall :)
Mine is the 1999 model and the p ram is the original one and still holds a charge
There's no 1999 model
That would be an iMac
David Piçarra yeah it’s the purple one
Congrats on 200k! That spider made you hit it!
that output from speakers from that old Mac, mind blowing.|
Back then Apple meant productivity, the best of the best
"Of course you want to be extremely careful when doing this if it has a CRT monitor"
I'd be more concerned about a gigantic **live** spider.
That's a very large spider, wonder how it got in there.
Great video, very interesting, but Jesus Christ that spider gave me so much anxiety. 😬😬
I was looking at this on Gumtree and even sent the guy a message! I helped him get it running through message and the photos were updated to show it working. Awesome!
My favorite keyboard is that one.. you take the plastic tray off an put feet on it.. excellent keyboard and looks awesome.. clicking noise isn’t a bad thing its the power saver relay. How retrobrite works.. its a bleaching chemical reaction. Basically it breaks the bonds of chromophores. This is what holds color or pigments. Its often a top layer of material that is effected by the yellowing so breaking this down will give you the color underneath.
Canned air or an electric blower from Amazon would be useful. Take the thing outside and blow high pressure air through it. Otherwise it'll just take complete disassembly or soaking it in mineral oil or something non-conductive or fast drying.
6:24 oh hell nah
I usually don't comment, but , this is a very good video 😄😄
God this makes me feel nostalgic still have the old emac at my parents place
I feel there should be a warning about flickering in this
No veies and 2 likes, is CZcams drunk?
happy 200k subscribers my friend😉😀
I used to love these computers, I’d always have old windows or the old Mac and in kindergarten, I loved the Mac tbh
