Personal holy grail... iMac G4 800MHz.

FINALLY! We gave the teacher who was using this an Intel Mac Mini. Specs are: 800Mhz, 256MB RAM (Or more, this is off the faceplate), 60GB HD, 15".

It has the Power Cord. The Screen is brilliant. A funny thing is that in the Kensington Lock slot there is a stub of metal and a bit of metal wire. It appears there was a Kensington and the Sysadmin just cut the cable. Any idea how to get this thing off? I am bringing it home on Monday, due to the fact that today (N-Easters!) there was a horrible Snow Storm in the New York (North east) area. I did not want to kill it. I plan to put it next to my iMac G5 on my desk.

This means: iMac G3 233, iMac G3 350, iMac G4 800, eMac 700, iMac G5 1600.

I got the complete PPC iMac Line! Yay.

:D

if you cant see the other side of the loop you will have to, which sounds like fun since those things are integrated into the frame

maybe some bolt cutters on the sleeve, but you risk plastics

Personally I would just take a drill to the lock core, or maybe a cut off wheel. THose lacks are pretty cheap so a good carbide bit should work. If that doesn't work diamond drill bits and cut off wheels are very inexpensive now days. They'll cut through the hardest of steels.

Failing that my 1903 Springfield rifle would make short work of that lock. Though there is a greater risk of case damage.

You've got a long way to go to complete that iMac collection. Getting all the speeds and colors of the G3's will keep you going for a long time. When your collection looks like this

or this

then you'll know what it means to be a real collector. :p ;D
