My PowerMac G4 haul for today!
Posted by: gryffinwings on 2019-05-18 17:04:49
So today, was a pretty good haul, picked up a Powermac G4 Quicksilver Dual 800MHz Processor, 1.25GB of ram, that I paid $30 for which included a 17" Apple Studio Monitor but no hard drive, but that wasn't an issue since I have spares to work with.

Specifications:

Power Mac G4

PowerMac3,5

CPU: Dual 800 MHz CPU

RAM: 1.25 GB

Video Card: Nvidia GeForce2 MX with TwinView

Hard Drive: 60 GB IBM Hard Drive

Optical Drive: Pioneer DVD-RW

I also picked up a 15" Powerbook G4 that I paid $10 but didn't come with a power adapter, but I figured would be worth the gamble. The seller said he used it, but when the battery died he didn't bother buying a power adapter. I won't know the specs of the Powerbook G4 until I get a replacement power adapter.

Nice haul and nice deals!  MacSales has off-brand power adapters on clearance for $6.  Pretty sure they have a storefront on Amazon too.

So I have gotten the Powerbook G4 running properly. Found out it has the 1.5 GHz processor and 1.5 GB of ram, I have to say that this was a pretty good deal for $10 even though it didn't come with a power adapter. @JustG thanks again for the information on the deal for a new power adapter.
