Yes! squeaked by on that last round! I am just on the verge of vintage on MacTracker, and apple has abandoned the G5. In your face!
Seriously, as much as you say this…
When you mentioned it in the chan I didn't realize it was a dual, thats awesome. IIRC the dual 1.8 is spost to be pretty reliable aswell (comparatively) .
Cost me $270 USD. I think it was an awesome deal. I got the guy to knock off $30. Btw, there are NO scratches on it ANYWHERE. It came out of my local college according to the g…
I am looking on craigslist and saw a 1.8Ghz Dual G5 Power mac that is about $300. Comes with 160GB HDD. 1GB RAM. I know RAM installs in pairs, but I think this would be a major s…
I've got a GigE/Mystic dual G4 now (thanks, coius!) and stuck in a couple 256MiB PC133 sticks I had. I run NetBSD on this machine, and while it sees these, it doesn't use them. T…

Two iMac G3/500MHz DVSE Snow machines are the only Macs (amongst 40+ left after a recent change of house) in this house that were bought new. Always-on for 6+ years, with their re…
I remember back in the day thinking that the Snow iMac was profoundly ugly, and that being completely devoid of any colour, it was almost like a beige iMac.
Now, I think they look…
Alright, I just hit it up with some googone-ish stuff (just a solvent) and a plastic scraper and now it's basically 10/10 condition, no scuffs or cracks or anything. Just a pretty …
Thanks all. Yeah - I'm pretty pleased with the situation.
I upped it to 512MB RAM and have installed and am currently updating Jaguar. I have tiger discs around somewhere but cons…
That's wicked awesome!
I've always liked those machines, but their speakers were never good enough to be in a bedroom, meaning, they couldn't get quiet enough for late night use.

I'm typically not a huge fan of AIO machines. Back in 2001 my father decided he wanted to get a new mac, and decided on an iMac G3/600, which came in Snow and Graphite. I voted for…
I fancied a trip to a semi-local used bookstore the other day (Sunday) and rescued 8 used Mac books.
They are:
Power Macintosh 8600 Users' Manual
The Power Mac Book!
Fully Powe…
Got a iMac G4 800MHz 17", local pickup from eBay for just £84. In the UK these are worth about £200, so it might be sold for a profit. Needs a clean inside and out, and a replaceme…
Sounds like a great conquest, and it's always fun to be able to combine two machines into one.
I always liked the way tibooks looked, but they way they were built leaves a lot to …
I remember the very first time I saw one "in da flesh" in late 2002 - nearly two years after they were released. It was a brand new TiBook 800, and I remember thinking what an amaz…
They are nice machines! I remember when they were new I always thought they were the coolest. Such a jump from the G3 PowerBooks (even though I like them and they were great machin…
I went on a Cube-binge a few years back, and upgraded my 450MHz model with a Dual-G4 running at (IIRC) 1.2GHz. Installed a stronger analog power board, mounted her in one of those…
