Oh dear oh dear. Another day, another liberation. 3 more 605s and another 475 have been added to the rapidly growing stacks of the little beggars in my spare bedroom. It really is starting to remind me of the famous Star Trek episode... what starts off as one small, cute little creature rapidly multiplies until it and its siblings are filling every spare cranny on the ship.Unfortunately, LML has other ideas of what the space could be used for....so I'd like to re-iterate my previous offer. Anyone who is willing to pay freight can have as many LCs and 605s as they like. All come with 10 Base T ethernet, at least 12 meg RAM (most have 20), and a minimum 160 meg HDD (most have 250s and a couple are even larger). They all appear to be in amazingly good condition, with just a few dust stains on the cases. Roll up roll up! Everyone gets a prize! Cheers!

Ok, I just need something that I can use to access the net with and play games. A Quadra 605 (this is a Quadra 605 right?) seems to be a good choice. If only shipping to the US from Aus isn't too much.

Well, we can do it, but its not going to be cheap. Depending on how fast you want it, freight to the US is going to cost from US$22 up to US$50 per machine (based on a weight of 8.8lb from everymac). I'm happy to send as many as are required, however I have a feeling the costs involved may prove to be a limiting factor  Let me know if you're still keen. Cheers!

Time dosen't matter so much. The cheaper method would do fine.
I'll have to think about it.
I don't know of a good way to send payment internationally either._________________

I personally think the 605 looks much better than the LCs, I have an 840av which has the same feets and I really like 'em. I know they used 'em on the Color Classic too, the sexiest Compact by far.--

if they're going into a landfill anyway, at least yank all the mobos/RAM/VRAM, internal cabling and PDS NICs! a box of that stuff would certainly be worth the freight, maybe if you put LML to work unloading all the rest of that stuff on eBay aus she can turn a pile of that crap into a shopping spree. she might get just a lil'less luddite if that worked out! are those SCSI HDDs worth anything down under? i thought there was a shortage, or was that just the gig+ drives? dunno, keeping all the electronics out of the landfill would be ecologically correct even if it's not 68kMLA endorsed activity on anything but an emergency basis. IMHO, anyway! jt ™. .

Actually, if you end up stripping them I'll buy some hard drives off you. Can you say 21 hard drive Quadra 950? JT - It's mainly the gig+ SCSI drives that carry horrendouse prices, but 250 and 500 meggers can fetch a pretty penny sometimes too. ~Coxy - Leader, Tactical Operations Unit

that's the heaviest, bulkiest part, and the small size of the drives would make shipping them cost-ineffective. that's why they should stay in aus along with the FDDs and shells!one big box of the best of the goodies to be mailed out for distribution here is the only thing that makes any sense to me. there are potential hacks and lots of LCs, LCII's and III's in the North American contingent of the MLA that could use a microquadra board, but the bulky heavy crap wouldn't work as far as i can see. jt ™. .

get ahold of B and get one of those microquadra boards and some drives! <pedantic father of teenager mode> (you've just gotta come up with a pitch that will make sense from tha PAF point of view. some kinda crap about saving the environment, money, the chance of a lifetime maybe . . . ;) don't swear about the PAF, they just want what's best for you, it's just that you gotta approach it from their perspective, kiddo!) </pedantic father of teenager mode> that's about what i figured about the drives, ~coxy. that's why i suggested that LML get exposed to (hooked on!) collecting and distributing 68k swag!

Well, the drives I've seen so far range from 160 to 500 mb, with most being 250s. All Apple/Quantum branded except one ugly, noisy little Fujitsu.I gotta say though, the idea of breaking down perfectly good 68ks for use as organ donors kinda rubs me the wrong way. On the other hand... even that's a better fate than ending up in a landfill. What sort of interest do we have in individual parts? Drives, mobos, PSUs, NIC cards etc? (~Coxy's mooted 21-drive 950 sauna-heater noted). Nice idea about hooking LML Trash... but in vain I fear. The only time she'll show any interest will be the moment the last one goes out the door... and then its guaranteed! Maclover5... what is your location? Seems a shame to have you stuck on your LCIII with all these 475s sitting here... Maybe a quick switcheroony would fall under the PAF radar? And Scchicago... I think you might have gotten the figures mixed up on your postal quote... The AusPost site quoted me 44 to 100 AUD... thats US$22 to $50. Still kind of steep for an LC I know... but far cheaper than US$100! Cheers!

Alright, I've been holding back, deciding whether or not I really need these or not...Bigsadhu, can you quote me a shipping cost for four(4) Q605's or LC475's to zip 40047? Speed of shipment is not a factor(slow and CHEAP!) I've got nine LC* already for a project, a few more wouldn't hurt.Side note: My SAF is wide open, as long as I keep giving out the PC's that I take in, she doesn't care how many Macs I have ------------------

I'll check again with USPS if I can.
and I'll look it up again with FedEX (although they're probably more expensive than UPS)_________________

MacMoose, you're going to 68k heaven . Aussie post quotes AU$116 for seamail and AU$150 for Economy Airmail... thats US$58 or $75... not sure in Canadian. This is based on a weight of 4 kg per mac, pluc an extra 1kg for packaging, so I guess it might have to be adjusted a wee bit depending on the final package weight. Do you prefer the Quadras or the LCs? Cheers!

USPS might I think only ships out of the US or domestically.
A package with USPS (UnitedStatesPostalService) economy is US$27FedEx I just briefly looked at the website it appears that I need to sign up for something before I an get a quote. I'm probably wrong though because I didn't look very hard.

Everybody needs some "feets" in their collection. I agree the 605 is one of the more desirable machines. You can change out the cpu for a full FPU. It takes those nice scuzzies and has a small footprint on your desktop. It has enough juice to run all the pre-PPC software. But of course the best thing are those big feets:)

Actually. jt, your not that far off...what I'm working on is a stacked beowulf-type cluster of LC's. Think angle iron, and lots of auto paint, as each LC will be painted a different color. Started off as a six node cluster, but starting to look more like 12 nodes.
