I met up with the same guy again and bought a Performa 6200CD from him for $10.  Came with a bunch of software, external SCSI CD drive, and some other cool stuff.  Haven't tested it yet but will probably clean it up and maybe pass it along - or maybe not, I haven't decided. The G5 seems to work...

QuickSilver works great.  Had a nice Adaptec FireWire/USB 2.0 card that made its way into my old QS, as well as the GeForce4.  Probably will keep it as a parts machine. Mini works great too. G5, I will test tomorrow. It's not in good shape, very dirty. But maybe it sees more than one bank of...

I just picked up a 933MHz QuickSilver G4 that has maxed out RAM, AirPort, probably some other goodies, a 2.0GHz G5 that allegedly works, and a 1.25GHz G4 Mac Mini for $25. :beige: :smiley: bw:)

I think both of them will stay here... and intact... unless someone stops by.  I already broke both of the tabs off the Performa 550 rear cover - I'm not going to disassemble them any further. Kind of a shame to part them out - there's not many surviving 5xx machines now, even with a few little...

I was given a Performa 577 yesterday!  It even came with a StyleWriter and nice keyboard, mouse, and bag of cables.  Works great!  Been a while since I got a freebee.  Unfortunately it's suffering from the typical brittle plastic syndrome and is missing little chunks here and there. I'll...

I picked up a Multiple Scan 15 monitor today for $10.  Not sure if it works or not yet, will test it tonight, hoping it does though.  It's in fantastic shape.  I'm hoping that it will solve some of my KVM issues - I have a "Basic Color Monitor" that does not work well with my KVM, or anything...

Out of curiosity - what games are you guys playing in OS9 that require that level of processing power? I am a little out of date now but I played a ton of games back in the OS7, 8, 9, and very early OS X era.  I just don't recall not being able to play ANY OS9 compatible games on my tricked out...

My LC630 had no leaking caps the last time I had it apart (year ago maybe?)  I'm sure it's just a matter of time.

I would be interested in taking the machine itself off your hands if you decide that you want to part ways with it.  I just happen to have an LC550 board that I've been saving for a board-less Color Classic for about 15 years... 

I will be interested to see if you figure this out.  My Studio Display and QS G4 do the exact same thing.  Power button works fine, brightness and USB ports do not.  I don't recall that it matters what operating system - stuff just flat out doesn't work.  Pretty much factory stock hardware...

With the "Sapphire" logo on the heatsink, I think you can be 100% sure that it is NOT an original Mac compatible card.  If I remember right, ALL Mac compatible ATI cards made back then were ATI branded, not resold by third parties like Sapphire.  There's nothing wrong with a flashed PC card once...

Nice score.  For some reason these are super sensitive to vibration - I have to go reseat everything, every time I move it or it won't boot.  I don't know if it's just simply age, or oxidation on connectors, or something else but both of mine are definitely more sensitive to vibration than they...

Forgot to mention that the other thing to keep in mind is whether or not the cover piece on the drive tray will fit through your bezel when the drive opens and if the eject button will line up.  A lot will be fine but I have a few that are just no go in all aspects. 

Yes (kinda.)  I have used several over the years.  Pioneer and LG drives seem to work well.  Others, maybe, almost everything will read discs but a lot will not write, and even fewer will write DVDs.

Both of my G3s came with PCI SCSI cards and 4GB 68 pin drives.  First thing I did was dump that ridiculous trash.  I might have saved one of the cards, but regardless, myself and many others were sitting on a mountain of relatively large and mostly free IDE hard drives that were pulled from...

Beige G3... my all time favorite classic Mac.  If I were to build another one from scratch, I would do these upgrades in this order: 768MB RAM upgrade USB card Rev B/C ROM to allow master/slave IDE drives Large IDE hard drive (80+ GB is fine) DVD-RW 10/100 ethernet card 400+MHz CPU...

I can't complain, it was only $10 and it's in super nice condition.  And it came with the original disks, manuals, etc.  According to the owner's manual it can be upgraded to 4MB RAM on two expansion cards that occupy ISA slots, and it can even do color video output! I have been wanting a...

Not really Mac related but I picked up this little guy last weekend.  The specs I found say that it has a 10MHz 286, 640KB RAM, and either a 10 or 20MB hard drive.  Seems like it works great!  I need to round up a copy of WordPerfect, seems like a perfect use for it.

Nice!  I love curbside finds.  They don't come along very often anymore but they're just that much more satisfying.

Yeah I'll probably flatten the box and store it in the furnace room.  No reason not too I guess, maybe I'll run across styrofoam inserts someday.   I also bought a Performa 550 yesterday.  Haven't turned it on yet, it was cheap-ish, and all-in-ones have been getting me all hot and bothered...
