Picked up a few little gems from a regular client of ours at work who had some of the remaining Apple hardware from a now defunct Apple Reseller. I didn't know what I was getting until it arrived, but I wasn't disappointed by any means.
PowerBook G3 Wallstreet (Series II)
300MHz PowerPC G3 Processor
128MB System Memory
8.0GB Internal Hard Disk
14.1-inch Active Matrix Display
20x CD-ROM Expansion Bay Module
Battery & Yo-Yo Power Adapter
This machine is in excellent shape for its age and would have been the very top of the line brand new. It boots up into a dual boot between Mac OS 9.1 and Mac OS X Jaguar 10.2.8. There are no chips or scuffs anywhere on the unit, although it is a little dirty. All four rubber feet are intact. Surprisingly, the battery holds a solid 2.5 hour charge, which is certainly unusual for a battery of its age. On the downside, the very first time I opened the clamshell both of the display hinges broke, which seems to suggest they have been on their way out for quite some time. Luckily I have a replacement set ready that will be going in soon.
PowerBook 3400
240MHz PowerPC 603ev Processor
48MB System Memory
3.0GB Internal Hard Disk
12.1-inch Active Matrix Display
Battery Included, Yo-Yo Power Adapter
This machine is also in quite good shape and was also a top of the line model for its day. The only oddity is that the label below the display reads "PowerBook 5300cs", which the unit very clearly appears to be a 3400 based on the lower case labelling and System Profiler report. The Apple Reseller sticker is still present on the display housing and was used in a service department, so I wouldn't be surprised if the sticker was swapped as a joke at some point. Dual boots between Mac OS 8.1 and Mac OS 9.0.4.
iBook G4 (Mid 2005)
1.33GHz PowerPC G4 Processor
512MB On-Board System Memory (Slot Is Empty)
Unknown HDD (Currently Blank)
12.1-inch LCD Display
Battery Dead, No Power Adapter
This machine is in fairly poor condition as far as iBooks go. The machine is quite chipped around the edges from being opened. Some screws are missing, the AirPort card cage is missing, the memory slot ,is not populated and two of the keyboard latches are missing, but it does power on and it does run. No operating system installed at the moment so I can't verify the full set of details. It does look to be a promising machine for a restore project though, and I certainly did enjoy my old iBook G4, so i'll be looking into this one.
