PowerMac 8500/120

500MHz G3 Sonnet card 400MB of ram

40GB and 2GB hard drives

ATI Radeon 7000 video card

Came with a Logitech Trackball (ADB) and extended keyboard II

I was also able to get a Yamaha 6X CD burner

SCSI drives 9GB each.

Tapco EQ with a few broken levers

Furmen EQ I was told it is great

Random SCSI cables.

BIG THING FOR ME

I was able to get a Intel ProShare Personal Conferencing web cam.

Nice!

I assume it was used as a DAW because of the EQs?

If so, any cool software on it like protools?

A while ago I got a powermac 7100 that was used as a DAW, with a copy of protools on it(before it was called that though..)

An 8500!

Oh man that rocks so hard.

Some here may remember my quest for an 8500 before The Great Forum Crash.

I love 8500's.

Steve Wozniak thinks they are one of the best machines Apple ever built.

Great minds think alike.

Enjoy your new box, may it serve you well.

No it wasn't, the 8500 was just his family computer at one time and the EQ's were from his studio, but I doubt the 8500 was a DAW.
