Help a noob out.

Hi,
I think this guy is pulling your leg...

Dude, if you have that much money then why, why, WHY? are you wasting it on a G3 iMac?

This has nothing to do with being a Mac noob, but rather a computer noob. That amount of money can get you something decent, and as a rule of thumb: if it's more than 3 years old then do not buy it.

Mind explaining how you got 10.6 running on an iMac G3? If that's really what you have.

my bad man. I had the G3 before this came along, i accidentally re-used this thread. my apologies.

Any by that you mean?

With the magic of google, and a couple hundred bucks, i DID get the imac G3 to run 10.6. I didn't say i was gonna use the original parts.

I missed that, my bad.

I know it's just semantics, but you're not running 10.6 on an iMac G3. You're running it on an x86 machine inside an iMac G3 case. That statement is highly misleading.

We either don't believe you, or we are all highly confused.

Ahh. My apologies. I didn't really get 10.6 on an iMac G3. I stripped everything out of the case and put an x86 machine in it. but it looks highly believable.

Pics and details? I like a good mod as much as the next forum goer.
