Case
The iMac G4 features an beautiful white plastic case, which is strangely soft to the touch. Chrome details, such as the neck for adjusting the display, and the Apple logo's on the computer stand out dramatically. The screen came with either a glossy surround (17+20") or a matte finish (15"). Both had a clear perspex border around them, so that you can move the display with just a touch.
The bottom dome houses the main guts, and manages to pack an impressive amount of things in there. If you've ever opened one of these up, you'll understand! |
