I went to my local dump one day and I saw something that stood out above all the other beige boxes. It was a tray-loading iMac. I thought that it would be cool if it worked, so I brought it home for $5 and plugged it in with an Apple USB Keyboard and Mouse and powered it up. I heard a fan start and a hard drive whir up and then it chimed. It started booting into OS 9. The OS 9 install was broken and bombed each time I booted it, so I installed OS X 10.1 and now it's working fine. You can check out some photos I've taken of it on my Flickr photostream.
