why so many?

you can make a sick macquarium if you cut out the sides and line them up :p

[Me1000]

Why???

[edit] ahh I was beat

[zap2]

Where do you get so many iMacs?


You could sell some..or offer free pick up/ pay for shipping only(if you really didn't want them)

In that 2nd picture, there is one that's resting face down on the tip of one that is also resting face down; that's probably not very good for the screen. Otherwise, looks awesome.

Planning to resell them one at a time or just keep them for decoration?

[OttawaGuy]

Where do you buy those in 50-100 at a time?

[lamina]

Is that a PowerBook Duo box I see in the first pic? :)

I would love to see one of those in action.

Okay, cool. That makes sense.

[Gee]

Computer recycling center..

how much does it cost you for a truckload?

[brokecollegeF04]

how much does it cost you for a truckload?

On average about 300 dollars.. alot of them are missing ram and I dont get keyboards and mice

[Kwyjibo]

they're like rabbits ...

[Cassie]

Don't you have a warehouse or something where you could store them?

[dmw007]

You have quite the collection of iMacs brokecollegeF04! :eek: :D :) :apple:

[job]

That's a really good idea. Saves them from having to be recycled and people can still get some use out of them.

Thumbs up.

If you ever see a PowerMac G4 Cube that works hit me up with a PM, as there is a large chance I'll be in the market for one!

I personally don't like the look of the old iMacs, my school used to have lots of them, i'm not sure where they all went now :confused:

The design of the original iMac was quite revolutionary back when it was released. Some PeeCee manufacturers even tried to create "wintel" clones of the iMac G3. :)

I remember i did think they looked cool when they first came out, but back then i wasn't yet an apple convert and after using them for a few years in the school i started to hate them.

[brokecollegeF04]

See I also put together kids packages as well
an iMac 266 with OS 8.5 and At Ease 2.0.. and then I load them up with all those educational games from the past such as Oregon trail and such..

Curious, what caused you to start hating them? The OS or the hardware back then?

That's your collection?? :eek:

[dmw007]

That's your collection?? :eek:


What can I say, I have an obsession. :p ;) :D



Just kidding, I only wish that I had that many Macs.

[brokecollegeF04]

Someday Ill have a collection like that.. Im fascinated with the AIO form factor.. Ive got every compact mac so far.. One of the LC 500s then the 5x00 and the AIO G3 and a Bondi iMac

[Cassie]

I think most everyone hated the software; OS 8 just really.... sucked.

[siurpeeman]

from the title i though you could never have too many imacs. apparently, i was wrong.

[MACDRIVE]

LOL!!! LOL!!! LOL!!! :p :p :p I Love It! :)


At least you're not collecting lawn mower parts. :o

You most certainly seem to be off to a good start, next you just need to find a larger apartment! :p ;) :D :)

Can't comment on that, I was still a PeeCee user back then. :o

That would definitely be worse! :eek: :D

I like rehabbing old Macs and getting them to people who normally can't afford a computer. So far I've gotten one to a truck farmer, a single mom with four kids and several disabled veterans (there's a VA Hospital around here). They are all so happy! They love having a computer and are really surprised when they find out Macs really don't get viruses. One can never have enough Macs. :rolleyes:

That is a very kind thing of you to do emmawu, you have my respect for such good deeds. :) :) :)

[phungy]

dmw007, you should just charge admission to your Mac museum :D :apple:

[brokecollegeF04]

now all you need is an Apple Set Top Box and a Pippin to complete your collection LOL

[zane]

Exactly

alot of imacs=goodness

[ebouwman]

Both, i'm more a fan of the white futuristy look :p

I found it odd that there was no fan,
my school has allways had a problem with heating, so if you're in the computer lab and your hands were cold,
there was an easy way to warm them... on top of the hot mac that's been on for a few days straight (which was most of them):p

[ebouwman]

Probably, unfortunately thats why lots of people don't like macs :eek: (who would not like a mac???)
but OS X rocks, thats why Micro$oft went and copied it for Vi$ta :p
