I acquired an 8500/120 with 160MB RAM on my last conquest. Its not a bad machine but what is up with the plastic on this thing? Normally the BFRs seem to be UV "extracted" causing yellowing more on exposed ares and less under labels and such. But this thing is smokers yellow inside and out. The only part that is not is the main frame assembly. I was surprised the motherboard frame was so yellow too. Its not exposed at all! The other thing that seemed odd to me was hot brittle the plastic is! I lost two drive door faceplates by barely touching the thing. I thought I had new replacements, but not one for the CD drive. At first I thought maybe they were damaged previously but then the horribly designed power button/LED holder disintegrated in my hand. Guess I am booting only from the keyboard now.
Is this normal? I've never run into plastic being so brittle on a Mac before.
