Broken PowerBook G3 - this is a 1998 model PowerBook G3, from the rev. 2 Wallstreet series. It has a 12" active matrix screen, a 233 MHz G3 processor with 512 kb of L2 cache, a 2 GB hard drive, 160 MB of RAM, a CD-ROM drive, a zip drive, yoyo-style power adapter, and a battery that lasts a short time. The big problem is that the motherboard is not working. From what I can tell, the onboard IDE controller doesn't work. I can still start up from a CD fine, just not from the internal hard drive. So that's the PowerBook. $130.

Second item is a Logitech Cordless Elite keyboard and mouse set. The mouse's batteries only last a day or two before it needs to be recharged on the cradle, but the keyboard has operated perfectly since day one approximately eight months ago on the original batteries. The keys and palm rest are shined up quite a bit from constant use, but other than that the set is in perfect shape. Along with the keyboard and mouse comes the charging cradle, the cradle's power cord, and a keyboard PS/2 adapter. $50.

Next I have a GeForce 3 that has been flashed to work in a Mac. The card will only work properly in a 4x AGP slot - using it in the 2x AGP slot on PowerMacs from 1999 and 2000 will cause the screen to flicker almost constantly. Also, I've noticed that lines will sometimes flicker across the screen immediately after turning the computer on or waking it from sleep. They disappear and stay away after about a minute, but I feel I should mention it. Because of all the limitations I'll let it go for $35.

Orinoco Silver - SOLD

I have a couple of GameCube games... Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2003 and Star Wars: Rogue Leader. Asking $10 each.

Last item is an Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer. It's meant for the retail Radeon 9600 Pro and 9800 Pro. It will also include the tube of silicon paste that came with it, though I did use some of it. Asking $15 for this.

Okay, if you're interested in anything, my email address is in my profile or you can of course just respond to this post. I might also be interested in some trades... mainly I'd like some GBA games and a GBA SP headphone adapter. There's not much else I really want now though.

Also I have a speaker set available. Yamaha YST-MS201. Just a simple 2.1 set, sounds pretty good. White in color. I'll say $40 shipped.
