My Ebay Find

Posted by: Steve_G on 2008-08-08 19:48:46 I saw on ebay a Powermac G4/733 with a 20 GB hard drive. Model number was for a G4 Sawtooth. Picked it up for 101 bucks with shipping. I am amazed that i got a G4 digital audio instead of a sawtooth. It is currently running 10.4 with 512mb of Ram. Photos will be taken after i clean up the case, it has some nice black scrathces on one side i am going to try to clean up. ALready installed 1 update, a Adaptec USB 2.0 Card and a 40GB Hard drive raided with the 20gb in it to make a nice 60gb 7200 RPM hard drive combo. both are WD caviar drives with equal speeds.

Posted by: Steve_G on 2008-08-15 08:03:53 Update, i got a free 16" Visible LG Flatron 775FT Monitor, it is a true-flat display with a flat inner and outer tube, it was in its original box and everything. G4 looks great with this CRT. I also have 1gb of PC133 Ram on its way.
