Why?

I think the price was reasonable.

Neat-o. Hope you can get it working, I'm also curious which power supply you'll get with it. One of the pictures shows a 5xx series PS.

 

[uniserver]

well i better get both. they said what you see is what you get, i see 2 power bricks i want em, the other 5x brick is needed for my beater 540c it's falling apart.

I don't buy from people on eBay who are to lazy to type out you and use "u" instead. It abso-freaking-lutely drives me up the wall.

Same with craigslist sellers.

well this ebay seller, They are also selling makeup, and high heels (size 10), and dominatrix clothing etc… Comic books…. Electronics parts….

Interesting Assortment

The profile picture is of a lady i think.

There is quite a wide variety of personalities out there on the inter web

I wonder if it has any japanese programs on it.

I almost forgot, welcome to the B&W 165 club!

Nice catch - and we have similar purchase criteria.

 

[uniserver]

I'll check when I get it, and tell you what I find on the hard drive in this thread.

Man if this somehow has a working hard drive, that would be a real treat!

Quickly reading first thought in my head was you got this...

Nice catch anyway for that low price!

 

[uniserver]

no, i wish,

however, now that i have a Japanese keyboard, and a PowerBook 170 already, i can get some spray paints, and convert it.!!!!!!

What do you think? should i?

 

[mcdermd]

I think those are the ugliest PowerBooks ever! :lol:

More to the point, what's with the alternate system font on that LegoBook, anywhys?

I vote no, but its your computer now. I'm always for keeping things original.

The color matching is going to be tough!

I think that is an awesome find, though, congrats!
