Well, it may not be the seller's fault, look at the bidding logs.

You should stick 1.25GB in it, or 1.5GB. I use mine as a file server and on and off web surfer when I'm in a desktop mood. It also runs a triple screen setup, downloads videos and…

as a much more active member of hobby electronics than here I find trag's post a little bit too negative, 1 its not THAT bad and 2 no one said this had to be on par with dell's pro…

Interesting. Seems like that would make a number of things more feasible, eh trag?

Agreed. About the only thing that makes the onboard video bearable is 1MB of cache - and the easiest way to find that is onboard a G3 upgrade. Once you've got one of them (which …

Well, those are things certainly of value, much more so than old computer junk. And seeing as how gold is money, it'll never become worthless.

When money abandons one market, it seeks another. Record prices are being paid for gold and artworks too, I believe.

Yeah, I understand what you mean. Ordinarily, it shouldn't matter what other people are spending on their vintage stuff. It's not my money. The problem comes when sellers realize …

Not everyone is on hard times. Click to expand... Very true. This is also the case in much better economic times. Yet the prices are really up there currently during the worst …

...it's not like the 128K is particularly rare... there is NOTHING rare about them. Click to expand... I'm sick of seeing the words "rare" and "vintage" in eBay auctions…

Not everyone is on hard times. And Scott Baret is probably over-generalizing when he says that it's all teenagers buying this stuff. A Frenchman spent $1,000 about a month ago for…

Dog Cow hit the nail on the head. Click to expand... Really? I totally get someone pricing the thing for as much as they get, but seriously, in the current economic client, eve…

Another thing--I'm sick of seeing the words "rare" and "vintage" in eBay auctions. Click to expand... Yeah, I know, right? I think it's funny. It's like, "what eBay category a…

What it wants, what it really, really wants, is an angle adapter and a PDS video card, which is fast in these because of the PDS technology involved. The high end card from an 8100…

Yes, I definitely agree that the pinnacle of G4 case designs was the QuickSilver... the MDD was just way too blingy. Click to expand... Its funny - I remember when the Quicksil…

Actually we do qualify for it, but such a thing is too newfangled for my parents, plus I'd have to go on a contract, which I kind of can't do when I don't have a job, and don't kno…

I just opened it up to have a look. A DA-15 connector won't fit without modifying the case, and then there's the issue of fitting the DA-15 to the HDI-45 holes. I suppose the cheap…

I found a cheaper circuit board prototyping service which makes this project feasible. Here's the link: http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/fusion-pcb-2-layer-10cm10cm-max-10pcs-p-3…

Dog Cow hit the nail on the head. It is still possible (though less common) to get these machines for nothing or next to nothing. Those who want to pay off debt or get some spendin…

In a recession fewer people are willing to pay more for these items, and I don't think Bill Gates is buying them up to burn them.

Yes, I definitely agree that the pinnacle of G4 case designs was the QuickSilver... the MDD was just way too blingy. Here's what's in it now: 733 MHz G4 256 MB RAM 80 GB 7200 R…

Because we're in a global economic recession, people want to try and sell these things for as much money as possible to pay off some bills and what-not.

Earlier this week, a very generous college professor of mine came to my apartment and dropped off a Mac 512k and a Mac Plus with his letter of recommendation for me. Very awesome.…

I thought that was a great idea, but since I am at work ... I tried to make one using some (who knows what) kind of metal tubing we use on our pianos (get off me its Friday ) …
