Hi all,
After a little wanted ad on Craigslist, I now have the above machines. $155 for all.
The eMac is a G4 1.33GHz or something... couldn't read the entire label. Apparently has a bad PS, and also is missing the drive caddy. Free.
Intel iMac (1.83GHz). This was in pieces, and was mine for $30. The included LCD is badly scratched, and the guy I bought this stuff from said that someone used the wrong LCD and busted the power (DC-DC) board. The iMac powers up to a "?" folder with an external display, though. So, I need a DC board, HD caddy, and possibly LVDS cable, and I'll have a new workbench Mac!!
And the gem: a TAM. With a G3 upgrade. It's just the TAM and base unit, no keyboard/mouse or goodies. But definitely a start for me! $125. Unfortunately, the HD died on the way home - it spins up and "clicks" off immediately.
Needless to say, I'm thrilled =)
