please dont buy a G3 iMac haha. Apple doesnt support G3 processors anymore with Leopard needing a G4 or better and Snow Leopard will be Intel only.

the G3 is 2 back from the last Apple Power PC CPU, the G5, which a dual core Intel kills. so an Intel iMac will BURN that G3 iMac and they are still pretty cheap. get the first Intel iMac the 1.83 GHz Core Duo model which is around $500-$600 http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...ult&cd=1&q=imac+17"+1.83+GHz+core+duo&spell=1

unless you want the cool transparent plastic bubble look with a CRT.

I just purchased one for 60 BUCKS!!! its shipping now.
DVD
40GB HDD
512MB RAM
400MHz Processor
MAC OS X 10.4


now obviously this isnt state of the art but i mean come on for sixty dollars i think this is a steal. and as much as i dont like the hockey puck mouse that comes with it i still made sure that the one i purchased came with it so i had everything original. i wanted the (snow) white one but the teal one i got had the best specs for the same price as all the other ones.

Nice! How does the computer run? If you get a PATA to SATA adapter on Amazon you can put an SSD in there and it will be fast.

You guys seriously replying to a 15 year old thread and recommending SSDs??

LMAO quite the necro. I imagine anyone picking up a G3 these days for only $60 USD would consider it to be quite the steal.

Consider who performed the exhumation.
