iMac DV 2000

just got me an iMac DV 2000. Graphite, slot loading dvd rom 400mHz my first G3 machine too. This thing's got it's stock 128Mb RAM and the stock 13Gb hard drive with the original install of Mac OS 9.0.3 on it (all the bundled software too - on the hard drive, no discs) original keyboard but not mouse. and damn!!! this thing flies. it's at least twice as quick as i thought it would be.

first time i used one of these was when they first came out at a Apple store (long gone now) in my local shopping centre. i remember playing Bugdom and being amazed at the graphics and raw power of the machine. i boot it up and what's on the desktop? BUGDOM!!! memories. great game.

ok so i paid $AU50 for it but i always wanted one of these machines back in the day. i'm very impressed at how fast the G3 is though :)

who else thinks these iMacs rock!!!??

oh i remember playing Star Wars pod racer too. where can i get a copy??

and any ideas how to get at the speakers? one is a lot quieter than the other even though all balances and levels in control panels are correct. great sound though for the tiny little things.

I do! That was the first computer I ever bought and it's still chugging along. Great investment.

Upgrade the RAM and you'll have a perfectly good machine to run Tiger on...

 
I saw one for $10 at a yard sale. Always liked the graphite, so took it home to satisfy my curiosity. With 1GB of RAM, a 160GB disk, airport card, and a fan it runs Tiger quite well. It's in everyday use in the kitchen for web browsing and playing iTunes from the main Mac.

 
I still use my 350MHz iMac Summer 2000 "Fireball", with its upgraded 320MB RAM. The 6.99GB Quantum Fireball is a bit limiting though.

Use it as a satellite machine. Dump your music library on one machine and set the iMac in another room.

You could also get the iTunes directory and put it on your iMac and then just point the folder where the music is stored to the shared folder its in. It's much faster this way.
