Beat-up iMac G3

Went to the local Recycler/Charity today. Got a hold of a beat-up iMac G3 (For Free). It's one of those late model Snow-colored ones. It's 500Mhz, has 640MB (I think) of RAM, and a Hard disk (which seems to be dead, or lacks a system). It boots to a "Can't find system" icon.

It's in fair shape, though I'll need to clean it.

Great price for a nice machine. Hope that the board is ok and only the disk is broken. :lol:

The Snow iMacs are really nice; my school still uses them frequently.

I really like the way it looks. Like a baby Emac

I prefer the flower power myself. I must find one!

I used one of those (indigo) for my last two years in Uni. It handled most things quite well including editing in iMovie, it was just a bit slow on flash video but that's Adobe's fault. Tecneeq your avatar is hilarious.

Thanks, but it's not really mine, i haven't made it myself. I have found it at some long forgotten place.
