I normally don't check my local craigslist, but I've been looking for another Quicksilver to do a PC conversion with my son this summer.
Only PowerMac listed was an iMac G3 Blueberry "PowerMac". I was thinking that he just didn't know what to call the iMac, so I almost didn't click on the ad, but I was looking into doing a Mac Mini swap into a Blueberry last night, so I figured I'd look at it, low and behold he had a picture of the iMac, and a picture of a Quicksilver and said $20 takes them both.
Needless to say i bought them, no questions asked, as I didn't care if they worked, because I'm going to gut them anyway.
Real score for me, not to have to pay shipping on these two heavy beasts.
Both work, tho the iMac has issues not wanting to power on unless I press the Cuda reset 3 times first.
I'm thinking it's a flaky power supply on the iMac, as it runs fine once it powers on, but I'm not sure, as I have never owned any iMac before.
If you need parts for a Quicksilver or a Slot Load iMac G3 400, check the market place, or PM me, because I have nothing to do with the guts.
