equant, fact is that I have equipment like that. It's true. Not yellow hardly at all, as evidenced by comparing the top and sides to the color of the bottom (dark side) of the case. I have a Mac 128k/512k like that, an HD20SC case, a 400k external floppy drive, mouse, keyboard. And my 512k HyperDrive unit is largely unyellowed -- it just had a coating of dirt that the previous owner never cleaned off through the years. A spray of 409 and wipe restored it to its former glory! My HD20 is only a tad bit yellowed. I ordered all these parts separately though various EBAY auctions and through Herb Johnson. I paid $400 for the Mac, including shipping to Japan. I paid Herb about $65 shipped for the HD20SC case only (no drive inside). The Hyperdrive Mac (full system) cost me $75 plus I paid another $75 to get it shipped here.
In other words, I didn't pay $10 for all this stuff, but I didn't pay $750 to Dan the Apple Mac Man for it either.
I know not everyone is not like me. Some of you couldn't care less so long as the Mac is a classic Mac and it still functions well. And good for you if you feel that way. There's nothing wrong with that at all. But for myself, I wanted something in as original a condition as possible. It took a long while to located these Macs and parts, and I must say that some of the equipment was only won by using an EBAY sniper service, but it worked for me. I am here to say that perseverance pays off.
Anyway, you can see what kind of Mac lover I am by reading the above. I spend a lot of time finding quality old Macs and peripherals. I therefore (and this is just me, mind you) cringe a bit when someone paints or epoxies an old Mac. If it's in bad condition, so be it. I just hope none of these mods are being done on largely unyellowed Macs.
