[QUOTE="bassist1217, post: 997594, member: 143622"] So I was in a thrift store walking around killing time while my girlfriend was shopping, and I happened to spot this bad boy sitting on the back shelf. I got to looking at it, and there was a tag hanging from it that said "bad pwr sup" and the price on it was $50. So I snatched it up, got it home, and plugged it up... I get the flashing question mark. Power supply is good, HDD has just been wiped. :D So now I just need to figure out how I can get Mac installed on it, and get a keyboard and mouse for it. I've been checking sites like Craigslist and ebay for those and a copy of Leopard. I've been a Windows user all my life, and have toyed around with Linux some, but never Mac. I've wanted one, I just never wanted to spend the money a Mac usually costs. [ATTACH=full]12217[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
