Okay, well, it's conquest time once again, guys. This time at the same college that I've scored:

-2x Blue and White G3s (November 2008)

-3 various PCs, Athlon processors, only one remains and works (October-November 2008)

-Quadra 660av, maxed RAM, later scored a 6gb hard drive for it (September 2008)

-Fried eMac, that I scored a Combo drive out of (July 2008)

-iMac G3/350 Blueberry, since then thrown away (July 2008)

-PowerMac G4/733, my main machine (July 2008)

-iMac G3/350 Indigo, my old main machine (July 2007)

-Powermac G3 Beige, that I stupidly threw away when I got my iMac (June 2007)

Not to mention COUNTLESS other little things that have helped me with my computer collecting.

And today, I get to go replace my main machine...

You see, yesterday, I get an email from one of the students who is working in the IT department saying that they are tossing out 4 Quicksilvers, and if I wanted to claim any of them (this is why it's important to have connections). I said that I'll take the 867mhz model. Today, I get an email telling me that he'll put whatever RAM they have spare in the system and OS X 10.4 on it. Now, I don't know how much speed increase there will be, but I'll take it anyway.

WOOT!
