I have a performa 6200, i got rid of the perf 600 to get it...

so far.. i hate the 6xxx series, i haven't had one that works at all, like the 6100, it turns on, the HDD spins up but nothing else happens, no tone, no video feeedback... no LED on the front either

turning on with the keyboard works though :)

and it's in pretty good physical condition (no feets fallen off, the case stays on and is complete...)

If you've got the 14.4 modem in it and all the original software installed on it, you can make it an answering machine with MegaPhone which was included with the software. It's pretty nifty.

The 6200 was a really bad Mac. You're better off with a 6100, at least if you're planning to do any internet or AV work with it. See the article on it at LowEndMac.

With the 6100: try replacing the PRAM battery. Odds are, it's dead.
