I picked up this beauty for only $20 back on Sunday: http://i.imgur.com/BdubkMc.jpg
I got it from the original owner, even got the original receipt. It was purchased in 1998 for nearly $4000 (the tower, including monitor and other accessories). With it I also got the original software packages, an AppleDesign Keyboard, and an ADB Mouse II.
Here it is running Mac OS 9: http://i.imgur.com/9e1oCBC.jpg
...in gorgeous 1080p: http://i.imgur.com/pe9xhKI.jpg
It only came with onboard video, which doesn't even support 1024x768 in millions of colors (just 1024x768 in thousands), so I threw in a spare ATI Rage card I had lying around. Does 1080p with millions of colors like it was meant to or something... seriously, for a 15 year old computer with only 192 MB of RAM, I think this is pretty badass. I even threw a full 1080p wallpaper on the desktop (not pictured) and the computer doesn't even hiccup. Now that's a Macintosh
It's by no means my oldest Mac, or my newest. But I'm very happy to have it. For those of you who have this machine too, what do you like to do with it?
