The plastics are still fine.

I am having some issues though:

I can only get it to boot from a 9.0.4 CD; and it wont install because it needs a firmware update. I cannot install the firmware update as it complains "Your disk is full" (The CD, that is)

Is there a way to update the firmware when booted from a CD? The installer says I have to before it can install, and therefore I figure it should be doable.

I burned a 8.1 CD; as well as a 9.2.1 CD, and none of them boots.

One thing that may be the reason is that the 9.0.4 CD is a different media than the two others. Is the iMac sensitive to different medias maybe?

I messed up the Mac Os 8 install that was already on it.. For shame
