First real conquest in quite a while, but a good one. I came into two iBook G3s that were otherside going to be trashed, though both have hardware problems.
First is a 12", 800Mhz/128MB/30GB/Combo
It's got some serious video bus issues...after a short while of use the LCD display goes black and no signal goes out from the external adapter, either. Otherwise, it's probably okay...maybe I could turn it into a server...?
Second is a 14", 600Mhz/256MB/20GB/Combo
This one has a non-working optical drive and wonky LCD. There's a bright green line down the middle and an off-color bar down the left side, as well as tell-tale stress cracks at the bottom of the display. External video works fine, though.
Neither of them have AC adapters, so I'm borrowing the one from my daughter's iBook G4 to charge them up and play around with them. I'm going to clean them up and try to get them to some kind of working state, though I don't know what I'm really going to do with them. If anyone's interested in them for parts or otherwise, let me know!
