[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 997664, member: 56379"] Nice find at the Thrift Store! You paid $50 for it...it's probably worth around $80. To get this "puppy" running (assuming nothing is wrong with it) you will need: - USB keyboard & mouse - monitor - copy of OS 10.4 or 10.5 (which is going to run you at least $100 bucks) Also be aware that an 867mhz processor is the absolute minimum to install 10.5...so 10.5 could be a bit sluggish on this computer...10.4 may be better. 256meg of ram was what this shipped with..and these days you should probably have close to 1 gig...so you may need to upgrade the ram once you get an OS installed on it...and figure out how much ram is in it. Although you got it for a decent price:)...it may cost more than you think to get this computer running & useable.:( - Nick [/QUOTE]
