| iMac G4! |
Posted by: Christopher on 2008-06-28 19:04:02
Found this thing sitting by someone's garbage bin and I went to their door to see if I could have it. Sure enough!
What it came with...
40B hard drive
256MB ram
Panther
What I did to it
512MB ram
Tiger
However the speakers have as light hiss to them(the original cool ball ones) and for the life of me I cannot get it to go away unless I put my hand over them.
thats one issue it has, the other is it was a bit dirty(some of the plastic is stained of some weird dirt), and the arm to hold the LCD is a little loose it won't stay in the spot you want it to sometimes.
Otherwise it's awesome.

Wow, what an impressive haul!
What screen size has it got, and what speed is it? Did you get any kb/mouse or other accessories with it?
iMac G4s are nice little computers, we've got some running Leopard pretty decently at the high school.
As for the speakers, you can always just unplug 'em, it should have an internal speaker, and while maybe not the "nicest" option, it should prevent it from buzzing. 😛

Unbelievable!

No KB or Mouse, but when I asked the dude if they speakers and power cable were still around he gave them to me, and I guess I can deal with the hiss.
Read above or in my signature for specs.

Yeah I thought I was dreaming. I think I've had that dream once or twice.. only I'd never go up to the house and ask - what if they'd insisted it got recycled?

I'll do it for free, and if they still say no, take it anyways. }🙂

I still think that the iMac G4 is one of the best looking Macs ever made, IMHO. Right up there with the TAM, Colour Classic, InstaTower and QuickSilver.
