Odd how the auction holder mentions those mods and stuff that try and put a G3 in the case...hmm. Too expensive though. ~sigh~ m. * --- "I'm your worst nightmare, lady; a Quadra 800 with a gun."
markymark Junior Member 223 Posts	Posted - 22 Jun 2002 : 21:37:40 I got my color classic for $5 australian (maybe around 2 pounds converted) then I got a LC575 for about the same price and I put the LC575 logic board in the color classic so then it was transformed to a 33Mhz 68040 no fpu mac. Then I got hold of a 25Mhz 68040 with fpu and a 16MB ram module and the 25Mhz 68040 (overclocked to 33Mhz) ran so hot you could use it as a cooking appliance so I connected a 486 cpu fan to the hard disk power plug and screwed the fan onto the the 68040 heatsink and it's fine now. I can play 128kbps mp3's on it with MpegDec (I used it for MpegDec testing).

Wouldn't be too bad, except for having to use a G3 at 640x480 :D. They're here: http://applebits.bigstep.com/item.jhtml?UCIDs=796615%7C1094616&PRID=770089 be well :) dana Did i mention 605s today?

scchicago Full Member USA 936 Posts	Posted - 23 Jun 2002 : 17:29:34 yeah, I'd bet. I've heard that those color classics are really rare. _________________ Leutennant SCCHICAGO HotLineServer(closed): scchicago.dynodns.net Website(closed): http://scchicago.dynodns.net MyForumOnDelphi: http://forums.delphiforums.com/scchicago NOTE:HL AND HTTP SERVER ARE ONLY AVAILIBLE WHEN I'M ONLINE

I've heard that those color classics are really rare. at least the REALLY ugly ones are the rarer variety. when i first saw the cc in the mags i hated and it has barely grown on me enough to say i merely dislike its looks at this point. man, that thing is one FUGLY CPU!

Morgan Funkcikle Starting Member United Kingdom 9 Posts	Posted - 23 Jun 2002 : 23:42:08 Oh God. That one has sold for �142! That's like $300 or something, is it not? ~claws eyes out with a toothbrush video adjuster~ I thought I was being rich by spending �50 on a Quadra 800. m. * --- "I'm your worst nightmare, lady; a Quadra 800 with a gun."
~Coxy Leader, Tactical Ops Unit Australia 2822 Posts	Posted - 24 Jun 2002 : 00:14:38 Actually closer to $450 AUS, not sure about US... ~Coxy - Leader, Tactical Operations Unit Mayor of NuBus City v3.0
markymark Junior Member 223 Posts	Posted - 02 Jul 2002 : 05:57:26 That means my 16Mhz cc is worth more than my 350Mhz K6-2 and two IBM 100Mhz pentium computers put together. So much for computer speed.
Jobf Junior Member United Kingdom 162 Posts	Posted - 02 Jul 2002 : 08:21:50 Yowzas! I'd rather have this one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2032657491 Looks like a deadbeat bidder too... Cheers Steve/Jobf ===== Lisa 2, LC475, PB145b, PB160, PB540c, IIsi.
