No problem, it's always nice to see other people collecting these. :) I'll try to update this post this week. Also made a quite strange find last Saturday.

They also have fans and heatsinks. LCS is hidden behind the G5 cover. LCS-models should also have a warning label on the bottom plate inside.

Needless to say that I'd strongly recommend to check the (first) 2.7 for leaks. I don't know if this should be considered just as the recapping of older Macs; it's possible that all the LCS (at least the dual core models) start to leak at some point, so it would maybe be a good idea to overhaul...

Hi and congratulations for your haul! The dual 2.7 should be an early 2005. You should have a look at this: http://www.cwu.edu/~pruittj/powermac_g5.pdf There are also pdf manuals for the other G5 generations on the net. I've not looked yet, maybe this model has diagnostic LEDs on the...

Wow! That's the kind of find I'd love to make! :) Great!

Cats are a bad thing sometimes... I was very "pleased" when I saw that one of my 4 cats chewed on some original vintage Apple cables...

Hi! The "battery pack" I had to make with 3  1.5V batteries apparently started to leak (at least it is completely corroded at the connections)! No idea why! Good thing I put it in a small plastic bag, no damage. I just made another one. The total voltage should be 4.5 of course, but I get 4.8V...

Indeed a "good start"! :p

Please do so :)

Yeah I understand that sometimes it's maybe not so easy to make the difference...

Great! :) I really need to make mine live again.

Congratulations! Great finds so far!

I know the struggle. :D I once started making printed spec lists for every of them... Now I take pics (System and sticker on the case) and put them in folders, one folder for each Mac.

Not hard. :) Here are the colours. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMac_G3#/media/File%3AIMac_G3_flavors.jpg The first ones, Rev. A and B (233) are only Bondi! No others! Bondi is darker than the later Blueberry! Then came Rev. C 266 and D 333 in the 5 colours. Bondi had disappeared. These...

They have the usual 3.6v batteries. I personnally never saw a leaked one. Maybe because they're not that old yet? I changed the PRAM battery 3 times in TL. Needs more disassembly (the board/drives carrier needs to be removed) but I prefer it. And over 10 times in SL. The first time I did it, I...

So for Christmas 2009 or 2010, my father got us 3 more iMacs. Probably he was soon hoping that I'd once get bored of them and get rid of them.... never. :) "Us" means my sister and me, but I consider all these 3 as mine as she couldn't really care less about old Macs, and we never decided...

Thanks guys :) Tanaquil, did you get Tray or Slot Loaders at this school? My colours: No Bondi No Strawberry No Tangerine Lime (both tray and slot) Grape (tray) Blueberry (slot) 5x Graphite Snow 2x Ruby Indigo No Sage Flower Power Blue Dalmatian I'd like a Bondi even if I...

So now I must be careful with keeping the right order... One day in my village, in the e-waste container, I saw something familiar: An iMac G3 Slot Loading. It turned out to be a Graphite 500. For a long time, this and the previous "Nr.28" were my only identical Macs. Its case was heavily...

That's why I prefer to let some Macs go to other buyers than getting them by shipping. Very sad :(
