Posted by: mac-cellar on 2015-12-22 11:38:40 So, I walked into my local thrift store last Saturday, and I spotted it from 50 feet away - a 17" Apple Studio Display... one of the clear plastic LCD models with the ADC connector. The tag said $25 and I said, "You're coming with me." I always liked the design of these... all that swoopy clear plastic and that neat kickstand in the back. Not everyone's cup of tea, I know (especially the ADC part), but a real find for me. A few days later on eBay, I bid on a Titanium Powerbook G4 that looked like it was in good condition, working, was advertised to be lightly used and in the original box. $45 won the auction - the Powerbook arrived last night. It turns out that it is in fabulous condition - a scuff here and there is all there is to suggest that anyone used this at all. It included the original box and packaging and the AC adapter... it is a 550 Mhz model with upgraded RAM, and 10.4.11 Tiger with all necessary updates installed. Again, this may just be me, but I love the design of these TiBooks. I remember watching Steve Jobs do his "One more thing..." intro of the TiBook back in the day.
Posted by: Juror22 on 2015-12-22 19:24:45 Congrats! The studio displays are some of my new favorites as well. A year back, it seemed that CL had a new one (within a few hours or less of driving distance) every few months and they were cheap, too. Then they just kind of dried up. I think they are kind of a requirement if you have the MDD or a Cube, or anything else that makes use of ADC. That's a nice price for the TI PB.
