Last post by VonDaab - Today at 10:51:01 AMIt's a shame that back when I got these, it was my older brother asking if I knew anything about Macs, as he saw some business throwing away a good dozen of various Macs, this was around 07 or 08. So he grabbed these two and a Bondi Blue keyboard for me. I think he got one of them early LCD displays, supposedly made for the G3 towers.
A dozen Macs would be worth a couple thousand or more nowadays. I've seen people sell G3 iMacs nowadays for minimum of 200 bucks.
Also couple days back found one of them dreaded iMac Hockey Puck mice, in Bondi Blue for 30euros including postage. Even if I didn't like it back in the day, I guess I gotta have one just to complete the set.
I think this might be the LCD my older brother got. Been years since I've last seen it, so no idea if its exactly this model, or if he even still has it.

I have a few CRT imacs (from back when you'd find them at the dump, or a used electronics store for a few bucks) but they're all at my family's home.

Last post by VonDaab - Yesterday at 09:43:50 AMI am counting myself quite lucky today.
I had completely forgotten that I still got the original PRAM batteries in my iMacs, some post on reddit of an exploded battery and completely totaled motherboard reminded me of this.
Got home and immediately cracked open my imacs, and somehow both batteries were intact. Even the second one with a Maxell that apparently is quite prone to leaking.
Bondi Blue is an original launch, 233mhz, Revision A, with the 2mb Ati Rage IIc.
Green one is of the Fruity Colors, 333mhz with the 6mb Ati Rage Pro Turbo. Both obviously Tray Loaders.
Bondi Blue had a HDD back when I received them, as some office was gonna toss them in the skip. Green one didn't have a drive, but I remember powering it up back then at it seemed functional.
I've ordered a Sata to IDE adapter, if I could get the Green one back in shape running off a 120gb SSD, but should be also looking for some sticks of ram too. I remember scavenging a 256mb stick of ram from the Green to the Bondi Blue, though 320mb combined is kinda overkill for OS 9 use. Being Rev.A, it supposedly supports only up to 384mb. Apparently the G3s support video ram upgrade too, as Bondi Blue has a stick of it, Green doesnt.
