Just picked up a Quadra 650 for 2.50 euros from a publishing house I was hoping to get some work from. Their backroom is full of old 68k macs, monitors, keyboards, etc. They have upgraded to old powermacs. I would have liked to have taken a 15" multi-scan, but my desk is full. It would mean getting rid of the 12" black and white monitor!
Anyway, the Quadra has 7.6 installed (otherwise all programs have been removed), a 500Mb HD, and has 4x4 72pin Rams + 4 Mb soldered on board. The feet have fallen off, so I have to put it on a piece of cardboard to keep from scratching my desk. There is no CD drive, so when I do add one, it will be pretty ugly without the plastic cover, but so what. My Q950 also suffers from a similar case of case-ugliness! Have to say, though, that the 650 is a great deal quieter than the 950.
Liberated: MacIIsi, Performa 475, Quadra 950 and now a Quadra 650! |

Well the 650 doesn't have the freak'n huge PSU of the 9x0  Humm… it seems like there should still be some source for the CD bezels for that case… If I open my window all the bugs will get in…That's just one more reason to use a Mac!

Congratulations on the 650. I hope you also got the work from that publishing house. Perhaps you can offer to be paid in Macs. G4From128k by Day: Mild-Mannered Engineer and Trapeze(tm) Artist
