[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 889882, member: 56379"] In case you didn't know...this computer we are talking about is worth about $30 bucks...and that's if it had a hard drive...which it doesn't! So I would probably try to find a cheap used hard drive somewhere. As far as Tiger...you could purchase it on e-Bay or maybe on your local Craig's List. On e-Bay a "Universal" install version of Tiger can close close to $100! So with a new hard drive costing around $40 + Tiger costing $100...you're talking about spending around $140 bucks to get a $20 computer to work. I'm not sure this computer is worth it! - Nick p.s. You could save a little money buy purchasing an older version of OS X. [/QUOTE]
