Post EVT (Engineering Validation Test) prototype of the Apple Power Mac G4 QuickSilver computer, model M8493, a redesign of the G4 tower that eliminated the 'eject' button and the manual eject pinhole from the drives on the front, offering a more minimalist look. The rear panel bears a label identifying the unit as: "Serial #XB14608AMAG, Ethernet 100039351BA60, P57BD3A1 POST EVT." A "Digital Voodoo" video board is installed, with BNC ports on the back. Tested to boot and in fine cosmetic condition.
Introduced at the Macworld Expo in 2001, the QuickSilver model was known for its faster system bus, enhanced cooling, and quieter operation compared to earlier G4 towers. Shifts in the features and design for the QuickSilver case continued up until the time of production, resulting in a mismatch between the color of the plastic on the machine's front doors and the rest of the case—a quality seen in this post-EVT prototype unit.
