Well, I took the plunge and got this:

The seller was scrupulously accurate in the description. I tried firewire target mode and my iMac could not find a hard drive; I tried mac-boot and it won't. And the optical drive is toast. And it needs its airport extreme card. It has a 512 RAM card in it. But all of those, I expected. And it seems to be fine otherwise, the display seems fine. Although I'm wondering why it doesn't chime when it turns on. So now, I'll be looking for a hard drive, combo drive, and airport card. And some more RAM. For sure I won't be opening it up until I have both drives, I've looked at what that entails and no way would I want to do that more than once! :lol: So I'll do those before I do the RAM and airport, just to make sure I don't screw it up!
