eMac, 1ghz G4, 512mb RAM, 40gb HDD, Leopard
PowerBook, 867mhz G4, 640mb RAM, 40gb HDD, Tiger
I've also had a 700 MHz iBook G3 in the past that eventually suffered from the backlight issue and an 800 MHz Titanium PowerBook that died a slow a painful death involving the hard drive and the graphics card
Thats a good deal for 50 pounds! I had an almost mint PowerBook until it slipped from the kitchen counter to the tile floor last Wednesday.
Specs: 1.5Ghz with 160gb Hdd and 1.25gb ram.
Ill try and find a new bottom case for it on ebay when i get back to England.

''Slipped''? Does it still work?
My arsenal consists of
And that's it !
There's an old slightly yellow mac hiding in the garage as well. I think it's called Lisa
- Power Book G4 500mHz Titanium
- PowerMac G5 DP 2.0 GHz (one CPU blew up no seriously - still works on one though)
- PowerMac i7 (http://www.flickr.com/photos/nickjf20/sets/72157628901247143/)

Haha
My wife still has her 867Mhz Powerbook G4, though it doesn't get used much at all any more. We still have every piece that came with it, and it's in perfectly mint condition. I'm thinking about snagging it for myself to play with. Unfortunately, my iBook G4 is quite a bit faster.
Got my replacement TiBook a couple days ago. Works perfect! The only thing wrong is the LCD (which was indicated in the auction). But I ordered a screen off eBay ($40) to replace it. Once I swap it out my son will get it.
1GHZ, 1GB ram, Superdrive (writes DVDs!) all for $24.33. Came without a hard drive so I put in the one from my old TiBook.
Here it is connected to an external monitor (I wanted to check and see if it booted).
The second picture shows it next to my 1GHZ 17" PB. On the couch is my 1.67GHZ 17" PB and the Mac on the top left is the old TiBook/400 flipped upside down because I had to get the HD out.

Anger resoultion..yup that where two people in dispute go out back with boxing gloves last one standing is right
PhD. In Anger management
I'm just an old punk who went into the Army got married and had children .. It happens to the best of us
I see from your signature that the Mac Pro is a family system, the kids must get a real kick out of showing that desktop wallpaper to their friends.
That would be the G5 not the mac pro hence the "Post your Power PC"..
But I'm glad I got your sheep panties all in a bunch

My "Beige" Power Macintosh G3, running Leopard (10.5.8, with additional kexts and some other work to run on this machine) with the following specs:
-- Sonnet Encore G4 1 GHz
-- 768 MB memory
-- 128 GB hard drive
-- Radeon 9200 128 MB
Love PowerPCs!
I had a 9500 with a Sonnet upgrade and later an overclocked Power Logix cpu plus about the same amount of ram as your Gossamer. Worked great for years. Added two video cards(can't remember the details) and a USB card, plus twin 10,000 rpm SCSIs as well as two smaller boot drives.
No wonder Steve Jobs shut down all of the different models; the company couldn't make money if people upgraded with mods instead of buying new Apples.
Meanwhile the only PPCs I still have are in the pictures.
On the right is a G4 Powerbook, 1.67GHz, 2 gig ram, 160 G HDD, which I still use every day.
This G3 iBook 500mhz seems like it's been around for ever and has been circulated among two of the younger family members. But it's back, and I still pick it up once in a while.
I ran across three other pictures that are sort of a chronicle of some of the computers I've possessed (and been possessed by) in the last ten years or so.
They're not all here, but there's the aforementioned 9500, an early slot load iMac, a Sawtooth upgraded to a 1 Ghz G4, and even a Wallstreet or PDQ (I had both, and they look the same).

This is part of my iMac G3 Collection. More to come

The Green iMac G3 (Turned sideways In pic) i found along the road the Plastic inside that holds the CRT is broken and the Hard Drive is messed up but it still powers up when i tryed it last in October. Almost all the iMac G3's in the pic have new Flyback Transformer's. The only 2 that do not is the indigo and the green one i found. But the indigo works just fine it looks like it had a easy life
iMac G3 Indigo 500MHz,640MB Ram,20 GB HD,OS X 10.4.11
iMac G3 Blue Dalmation 500MHz,640MB Ram,20 GB HD,OS X 10.3.9
iMac G3 DV Blueberry 400MHz,256Mb Ram,10 GB HD,Mac OS 9.2.2
iMac G3 DV Lime 400MHz,384Mb Ram,10GB HD,Mac OS 9.2.2
iMac G3 DV Lime 400MHz,192Mb Ram,10GB HD,Mac OS 8.6 (Needs Clean install of OS and new HD)

@djmckillertom welcome to the forum! We have a great community here.
However, you just quoted a post from 2012 and didn't even type a reply to it. If you are confused with the forum software, ask and we're happy to help.
And if you want to post a list of your PPC Macs, I recommend doing so in the thread titled "Does anyone have more PPC Macs than I do?". That is where we typically post lists of our machines.

[doublepost=1500528606][/doublepost]I got this Snow iMac G3 (Summer 2001 600mhz) for free from a friend he was moving his friends place and found it in the box and he knows That I love vintage macs... He gave it to me and this machine survived humidity and still works but needs an operating system because the hard drive is blank and its showing a question mark folder and i'm missing the keyboard and the mouse but the cd drive won't read any discs and I don't own the original restore disks with came with this iMac....
At least it's in a good home now and can't wait to use this wonderful thing
