I went to the Goodwill Clearance Center today. This is where they take all the stuff that doesn't sell elsewhere. They put it all in bins, and put the bins out on tables. When the …

I don't understand women/moms/etc. The CRTs aren't hurting anything sitting in the house. They didn't do anything wrong. Click to expand... That was my argument but she seemed …

My mother went on a CRT purge a few months ago and made me dispose of two monitors (a Dell and an LG) and two televisions. Fortunately Freecycle took care of the monitors but no-on…

No worries. I was looking for an extra G5 case to convert into an external E-SATA RAID Array. I figure I could alteast 8TB in on G5 case. That would be awesome.

Tell 'em it's a monitor. Works surprisingly well for non-tech-inclined parents. Click to expand... Unfortunately my parents use the Indigo iMac G3 as their internet machine (I …

Thats an advantage of PCs - its just "Yet Another Beige Box". About 3 or so weeks later my parents still haven't noticed the P3 From Britain™.

I just wonder if I could sneak it past my parents... Click to expand... Somehow I suspect they might just notice a large and very brightly coloured box in your room that wasn't…

Lo-and-behold there is an iMac on my local freecycle as well today! I just wonder if I could sneak it past my parents...

QuadSix50, I would love to purchase the old G5 case from your dad. This would include: the mobo optical drive powersupply case I am completely and totally dead serious. Tell h…

It can't be indigo and a 266. The indigo was a slot load in speeds ranging from 350-500mhz. If it's a 266 it has to be a revision C blueberry. Click to expand... I never said i…

early iMacs are a bit finicky about 256MB SO-DIMMs, in that with some, they will only address the first 128MB of the SO-DIMM. Click to expand... The trick is to get ones with c…

Since it was pointed out to me the colour I thought was Blueberry was, in fact, Indigo I have no idea what colour this machine is. What makes it look Bondi Blue in one pic makes it…

It's not too bad on the weight. A little heavier than my now foot stooled B&W G3. I am now typing from the G5. I hooked up my Ti via Target Disc Mode and am in the process…

All that aluminium for only 200 bucks. America is indeed a crazy place . Don't the G5s weight like 50-60lbs or something bizare? I know my Mac Pro weighs 27kg which come out at …

Damn! $200 is way underpriced for even a 1.6 single.

Really, Panther would be the better option, being more optimized than 10.2 and stuff. The only reason i'm still running Jag is because i don't have a copy of Panther.

I'd prefer Panther if I could manage it as plenty of modern software still runs under it. Realistically though, Jaguar is probably the better option. I'll probably end up trying bo…

Even so, i find that Jaguar runs fine with 256MB...thats what i have on my iMac 333.

I've seen a handful of iMacs up on freecycle here, this is the first one I was quick enough to snag. There was another one yesterday but the guy listed it as being taken without ev…

there's never anything good on my local freecycle! cool find dude!
