Been a while

It has been a while since I reported in.

I recently have acquired the following:

Mac II

iMac G3 600 (broken screen)

Wallstreet II 300mHz. (still waiting for it to get here)

The Mac II has been gutted, i saw it on the floor at the Uni waiting to get thrown out. I needed it. I really don't have the room for it here in my dorm, but I have it. I am going to gut it and put in a g4 or g5 when i get the chance or maybe even x86 Hackintosh style.

My friend (who is up to the gills in macs) had a g3 600 whose CRT started to act up, i guess he took a crowbar to it. I grabbed it, and gutted it, am going to convert it to atx or install it in my iMac 400. I will have to tear it all the way down though. (heat sink issue)

The wallstreet hasn't arrived yet. My friend has had it sitting around. She didn't want it. The friend that gave me the iMac has some ram and batteries for it. Might try to fix his pismo while working with it. That would be nice, a 400mhz pismo.

So the Mac II is just an empty case? Has nothing in it whatsoever?

Working Mac II's are a bit rare these days.

That ain't no lie. I can't even find enough parts to assemble one, forget finding one intact that works.

well I have all the parts ... if someone local wants to swap me a IIci case or something kinda old without guts, i would be more than happy, PM me or IM me. I know. I just don't have the space to keep the monitor for a whole setup I would never use it, but if i put a newer g4 in it or something ... I would replace my desktop with it.
