I picked up a Macintosh Classic at an electronic waste roundup the other week. Despite the case being badly discoloured and giving a RAM-related Sad Mac on boot, I could tell that the Quantum HD was still spinning and the display is really sharp.

I'll be using an alcohol/soap mixture and a scrub brush to clean out the inside of the case in the bathtub.
