I was casually browsing eBay and I came across a cheap working G4 Mini for $25. It has the stock config of 256mb RAM and a 80gb HDD. Photos in the listing make it look Iike it’s in great shape. Seller is throwing in a 1gb sodimm upgrade for it, although I will have to install it.
The purchase breaks my New Years goal of no new purchases and finishing projects. Oops. I’ll write this one off as a birthday present to myself as my birthday is coming at the end of the month.
Right now it’s running 10.4. My plan is to try that modified Mac OS 9 image on it and see how it performs. I might make it into an OS X server for light internal use as a bridge between modern and old. Not sure yet. I could just virtualize everything but where is the fun in a pile of VM’s? $25 was too cheap to say no to.
Will post pics when it comes in the mail.
