My graphite 600MHz G3 iMac is dead. I'm pretty sure the analog board is gone. It's going to go to the recycler, but before it does I am willing to do my best to remove any part/board/bracket/etc. that anyone here might want.

Just let me know if you're interested in anything. I'll do my best to help out.

The parts are free. I'll just ask you to pay for shipping.

what kind of optical drive is it? i'm interested in that.

Schneider · Sep 3, 2006, 02:02 PM

What size hard drive is it, i am intersted in that!

Thanks and let me know,
Jason

The optical is (unfortunately) dead. I have seen the CD-RW drives on eBay for $30.

I wasn't very clear in my first post. I'm keeping the airport card, the RAM, and the hard drive because those are the only parts that have value to me. The rest is going to be recycled.

That said, the hard drive is a Seagate 80GB Barracuda drive. I'd send it to you for $40.

Cover the shipping and it's yours--how about $10 for FedEx shipping or $5 for US Mail?

I tried to PM you but your mailbox is full. You'll have to clear some messages.

Langdon · Sep 10, 2006, 04:25 AM

I could use the video board (the circular thing on the back of the CRT) and also the cables that are attached to it that connect to the motherboard. I will message you shortly.

RiDDLeRIZE · Sep 13, 2006, 01:34 PM

Hey does that iMac have the bracket for an airport card? I need that adapter piece to connect my airport card to for an iMac G3

chabig · Sep 13, 2006, 02:48 PM

PM your address to me and the airport adapter is yours.

Chris

chabig · Sep 13, 2006, 02:49 PM

I took the case apart for an earlier poster, but now he doesn't want them. Are they of use to anyone else?

imitchellg5 · Sep 13, 2006, 02:51 PM

I'll take the motherboard, depending on whether or not I get a G3 iMac. Could you hold it for me since rsandborn1 doesn't seem to want it? I would also consider the case.

chabig · Sep 13, 2006, 03:21 PM

rsandborn1 may still want the motherboard. If not, I'll hold it for you along with the case parts.

Chris

techound1 · Sep 13, 2006, 03:25 PM

I'll take the cd drive *bracket* if you've still got it. PM me your paypal.

chabig · Sep 13, 2006, 04:51 PM

The drive bracket is yours.

chabig · Sep 13, 2006, 08:18 PM

Here are the parts that are left:

The motherboard (may be spoken for)
Two speakers
80GB Barracuda hard drive (will sell for $30, shipped)
The down converter

With the exception of the hard drive, all parts are yours for the cost of shipping.

imitchellg5 · Sep 14, 2006, 09:05 AM

Hey, your in Colorado. So am I. How far away is Centennial from Colorado Springs?

chabig · Sep 14, 2006, 10:13 AM

I live close to Park Meadows mall on the south side of Denver. rsandborn1 does want the case. I'm making arrangements to send it to him today. But you can have the case and/or the down converter (which plugs into the motherboard) if you want them.

Chris

chabig · Sep 14, 2006, 09:34 PM

Everyone who is getting parts should receive them shortly. I put them all in the mail yesterday and today.

I still have the case and the speakers.

Chris

chabig · Sep 16, 2006, 01:30 PM

Everything is now gone. Thanks everyone.

Time to change your signature...iMac G3 600!

Bradlwlk · Sep 29, 2006, 06:44 PM

I was hoping to get the speakers. I must be too late.

My iMac G3 speakers are poked. Heh, have holes. It was auctioned to me from a local school and its fully loaded. The students need to keep thier pencils where they belong, on paper, not poking speakers.

menezes · Oct 30, 2006, 05:28 PM

Hi Chris,

Do you still have those speakers? I have an imac G3 600 CDRW graphite and its speakers have gone...

If you still have them, I'm interested. I can transfer the shipping costs to you by Paypal.

Thank you!

Everything is gone. Sorry.
