I'm selling off two of my macs (G4 PowerMac and my G3 Lombard) and I'm looking to maybe grab something that I can throw OSX on and just basically enjoy having. Desktops, laptops, whatever. I'm up for it! Let me know what you have. I'm looking for like $100 or under, preferably under like $85 or so.

Let me know!

I'd like to stray from an imac (although a decent one may still be a possiblity) because I'm going to be putting this machine under my desk.

in that case i also have a 300mhz blue and white with 128 that i could get to you for the same price.

Retrobox often has Macs under $100.

Daedalus256 · Feb 13, 2006, 08:05 AM

Yeah I've checked out RetroBox a few times but typically you get better deals on machines from forums and such because of the trust and all that.

Weazbert: I may have to contact you about that G3 B&W it sounds pretty interesting. Also have a 400mhz B&W to look at so I'll get back to you!

If you still have that Mac Blue & White in a week, I will take it!

i have a powerbook wallstreet with no battery i'll sell you for $85 + shipping.

think it has 192 ram and a 4gb HD (more $$$ for my 20gb i have kicking around.)

also has 2 PCMCIA slots if you want to add wireless or usb/firewire.

Daedalus256 · Feb 15, 2006, 08:48 PM

Sorry I already have a 333mhz Lombard w/ 384mb of RAM and a bunch of other stuff. Mainly looking for a cheap desktop backup/server. thanks for the offer though! I MIGHT be interested in that 20GB drive for a notebook though.

I'm interested in mainly a B&W OR MAYBE! (Just maybe) an iMac G3

d4nth3m4n · Feb 15, 2006, 09:42 PM

for <$100 i don't think you're going to be able to be very picky about this.

edit: that doesn't sound right. i was meaning in terms of the B&W/iMac kinda thing not refusing my offer.

Daedalus256 · Feb 15, 2006, 10:26 PM

I'm pretty sure I'm just going to upgrade my lombard instead of getting a new machine. It'll be more practical.

how much were you looking to get for the 20gig?

d4nth3m4n · Feb 15, 2006, 11:02 PM

dunno, $30 shipped with no insurance or anything fancy like that...

d4nth3m4n · Feb 16, 2006, 05:17 PM

... or make me an offer.

Daedalus256 · Feb 16, 2006, 07:35 PM

I have a friend who is SUPPOSE to email me tonight with a bunch of parts he has. I'll let you know if I need anything after he actually emails me.
