Trade - PC parts for working iMAC or better
I have LOTS of PC parts. I am going to list them in groups of how I think of them. I would like to trade this whole lot for a working iMac, preferably one that has the horsepower to run OS X. So, here is the list:
1) 200 Mhz pentium chip on MB with 32 megs RAM - working
This comes with a CD of the MB drivers, specs, and manual.
2) 5 gateway Mother Boards. I have gotten one to work. 1 or 2 are bad, and I didn't test the others. They are all for Slot 1, P2/PIII type MB, for the 300-550 Mhz range
3) 366 Celeron porcessor (FFPGA stlye) on a 'Sloket' Slot 1 converter.
4) 233 computer with 64 megs RAM, with case and power supply and video. It boots, but does not have a hard drive so you can just see the BIOS screen.
5) Working 200 Mhz computer running win98 SE with 96 Megs RAM. I think its has a 4 gig drvie. Its an NEC computer, really well designed. 16X cd player, floppy. Maybe sound but I really forget.
6) Working floppy drive.
7) AT power supply - untested
8) ATX power supply (I may have more than one lying around)
9) Box o' IDE/floppy calbes. You can't have them all, but you can grab a handful
10) Gateway flat (not mini-tower) style case with old 200 MHz Motherborad
MB untested.
11) I bought a spool of 1000 ft cat 5 network cable. I have all kinds of lenghts, 10 ft, 30 ft, 100 ft, 150 foot. I could throw in a lot of these working patch cables if you can put them to use.
12) Box o' power cords, again, grab a handful.
13) assorted video, sound, NIC pci cards laying around. I can dig through my room and give you my stash.
14) Drawer o' Mice, grab a few.
15) ps/2 and serial keyboards, you can have a few
16) Extra case fans for EXTRA cooling. Big 80mm ones and smaller ones. handful o' these.
17) assorted Dead Hard Drives (only if you REALLY want them)
18) I would imagine I am forgetting some of my other treasures, so there should be some surprises not mentioned here. =)
I'd like a working iMac or better for this lot. Ellen Feiss really did it for me and I am 'switching' on to bigger and better things."
