So, I recently acquired a 4400/200, one of the most hated Macs ever. A so-called "Road Apple". Because of its metal ATX-like case, sharp insides and weird design, it is hated by many Mac lovers. But I have a confession to make...I rather like it. I've read about the problems the 4400 had, such as cheap components, which isn't a surprise as Apple deliberately cut costs on this model to make a budget machine.

Today, I replaced the 2GB drive with a 40GB drive, and I replaced the 8x speed CD drive with a 52x CD/DVD combo drive. The PRAM battery will need replacing soon, just need to find my spare one I have somewhere.

Planned upgrades:

- Already bought a Ethernet Comm Slot II card from Mike on eBay.

- Plan on finding a Sonnet ATA/133 PCI card for it, maybe.

- Need to increase the RAM from 32MB to the maximum 160MB.

- Would like to add USB to the other PCI slot.

Any other proud 4400 owners on the forum? I added a poll to make this a bit more interesting, so vote and explain your decision. :lol:
