This is my 3rd iMac G3. I'm going to keep it on my desk, probably as my web server, just because...Local pickup too.

iMacs on eBay have gotten ridiculously cheap, to the point that paying for shipping is often substantially more than the item itself.

That's a nice find, though, if it's local. Slap a version of OS X Server or *BSD on it and you've got a pretty nice web server. One of my hobbies is setting up servers on computers of all vintage. It's a strange hobby, so I understand.

Whenever I see a trayloader, I think it's so good looking.

How many machines do you have no Patrick? Seems you must have 50 total by now.

Very nice price

Definitely! The G3 iMacs have now fallen into that catagory of computer obsolescence where they can be bought for next to nothing. Give it about 5 or 10 years though and they will become collectables and novelty "retro" items (hence why I'm hanging onto my Indigo iMac G3).

Nice conquest!

I picked this up today on the way to a road trip like vacation. Stopped at a garage sale along the way and, what did I find? The sealed manuals/apple stickers/setup guide, etc for a Slot loader. Dug deaper, and I found the disks. OS 10.1.2 and 9.2. With iMovie 2 which I had been looking for. Got to the Hotel, lugged up the iMac and iBook. I wiped the iMacs drive, and installed 10.1 using the CD's A little slow on 96MB's but still cool. So I'm at a hotel, with an iMac in the desk I got a WiFi bridge from the front desk and I'm typing this on my iBook. After I got the iMac set up I realized the router is in my room, so I plugged in the iMac with a ethernet cable and surfer the net in OS X 10.1 Overall a good iMac, with a few fugly sticker on it. Can't wait to get home to upgrade the RAM btw, I'm in Mansfield, Ohio right now...

Bump it up to 10.2 and you'll probably notice a speed increase.

Definately...my iMac is a 333, like yours, and its a lot faster under 10.2 than 10.1 on any amount of RAM.
