2 PowerBook G3's and some Apple Monitors

#1 Thu, 26 Mar 2009 - 01:22

Today I picked up the following:

-A Powerbook G3 Wallstreet. 233Mhz, 160MB of RAM, 2GB Hard disk. Running OS 9.2

-A Powerbook G3 Lombard. 333Mhz/512K 384MB of RAM. 4GB Hard disk. Running OS 9.2

-A 13" Apple High-Resolution monitor (A bit scuffed)

-A 17" Apple Multiple Scan 17

The Powerbook's work well, though I'll need to upgrade the hard drives. Not sure about the Monitors, as they haven't been tested yet.

The Price: Free (They were in the recycling pile of all places!)

Nice haul, do you find alot of free 2.5" laptop drives there? 2 and 4GB sound like the original HDs for those units.

Nice

PowerBooks are always win.

I don't find a whole lot of 2.5", but I have a couple laying around here. I might also throw in an 80GB 1.8" drive (from an iPod!), in a 2.5" adapter.

The Lombard now has 10.3.9 on it, in addition to 9.2.2. Though the 4GB Drive is getting cramped....
