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…
Picked up a cosmetically immaculate 400MHz Titanium PowerBook G4 last week, wasn't powering on and needed CD drive replacement.
Had a spare 500MHz one at home, working but with a …
I have two mint and boxed, a 450Mhz and a 500mhz. And the prices have dumped. Like $75 for the 450 and $100 for the 500. Ahhh! These things used to be pretty rare. Oh well. I'm sti…
