eMac! I now own one :)

[gavinstubbs09]

So this is a model that I have never owned, an eMac. All I need to cross off the list is an Xserve G4 & G5 then I can say I've owned at least one revision from each model of NWR PPC Macs (iMac G3 forward).

Anyway, I bought a dual 1GHz FW800 MDD a few weeks back (for $25) and the guy also happened to have a 1GHz USB 2.0 eMac and was wanting $20, needless to say I jumped on it! It has 1.5GB of DDR (will be 2GB soon enough), SuperDrive, AirPort and a 40GB hard drive.

First thoughts after using it for a few minutes is that it's quick for everything until... you open Safari for TFF. Then the entire thing is super slow and hardly usable.

Anyway, I don't think this eMac would sell here anyways so it'll more than likely forever be in my collection, next to my iMac G4 and my Core Duo iMac 🙂

And yes that is a OptiPlex GX620 on the floor. Supposedly trading it for my old DC G5 back.

Did you buckle it up? Wouldn't want it to fall over and put a hole in the bottom of your car with how heavy it is 😀

It sat fine in the seat. It would be quite the ticket, "Gavin, it appears your passenger is not wearing their seatbelt. I will be writing you a ticket for this infraction."

Congratulations!

Thank you Eric! Should be a fun toy to use for a bit.

That would cause quite a few more traffic court dates...

You are lucky!

No kidding. I've taken home G5s and Cubes on the floor of my truck and on the back seat. My truck should be titled "The Mac Hauler"

You are lucky!

Thankya! I really have no reason to own this, figured for $20 why the hell not!

That model with a bit less RAM was my first mac. Kind of wish I hadn't sold mine.

Always loved my emac from the day I picked it up with an iMac G5 a couple of years back. It's the 1.42GHZ model and I maxed out the ram. Runs great and I find the screen to just be really great quality. It will stay in my collection and hopefully soon when I purchase a new house I will have it displayed in a room with my other macs directly next to my molar mac!

Congratulations! Everyone here knows how much I adore my eMac, and I hope you will feel the same of yours. 🙂
