Who's got the most Macs?

[mynameis]

Will that one system be a Mac or PC?

Reason I ask is I know you are a gamer.

It will be my MacBook Pro as soon as I get a 160GB hard drive, which I will get when Leopard comes out. Xbox Live has become more interesting to me lately so I haven't been so much into Windows gaming. I would like to at least have a system that can play my older favorites so I will have boot camp.

Digital audio player choice is still up in the air.

It's not easy but I have they stashed here and there. No monitors on all. Move the cable from one to another! :spook: It's the Monitors that take a lot of room. I have a couple of large tables and some PowerMacs sit under them. Others in another room. The smaller ones are easy to stash.


I have a lot of the converters to convert the Apple Video connector so stock VGA. That way I don't need apple monitors but can use anything.

OK, it's official...you folks are brain dead. One guy with 37 Macs?

D'oh.

 

[dtravis7]

I should have known better to keep my collection and hobby to myself.

Oh well. Live and learn they say.

 

[narf1899]

the question is...did u buy those powermacs when they were $3,000, or 10 years later when theyre worth nada.

Well regardless of what CrossBones thinks, I'm impressed, dtravis7.

You wouldn't have a spare 12in PB 867mhz screen just doing nothing would you?

No, wish I did, but nothing PB that is that new. If I did it would be yours. I would suggest Ebay. Seen a lot of PB screens there from time to time.

Wow, some nice collections here...

Dtravis: At work we have a number of older Macs, including an original 128K Mac with the signatures in the casing and a Mac Portable.

Most of them still work too...

OMG, thats crazy. absolutely insane. Is 'Jeremy Mehrle' Steve Jobs's online alter ego?

Haha hes almost his alter ego. He's actually just a kid with an obsession for macs from St.Louis, MO. There's been talk that he will be opening his collection to the public at some point. (if anyone else wants to check it out jeremymehrle.com

NOTE: He has changed the web page. But I'm sure you can google his collection, he used to have pics of his Apple I bar, imac wall etc

 

[XMARLTONX]

Wow, you guys have alot of Macs! Although I am always tempted to pick up an old black and blue g3 to upgrade it, so I could see how it started! lol

Gee, all this only reinstates the term "noob" for me. This is the first Mac I've ever actually owned, although I work with several every day at my job. Funniest story in the world how I got this computer. I went to an estate about 3 weeks ago and I saw this iMac, still sitting in its box complete with everything. Only issue I noticed was the power button on the back was gone.This guy had a brother who just bought this iMac brand new...but he passed away a few weeks later and just barely used it. Anyway, this fellow knew nothing about Macs. He couldn't tell left from right about them. I asked him how much he would sell it for and what was wrong with it. He said he couldn't get it to turn on and he'd sell it to me for $250 if I could start it up. So I carried it over to a power socket, found the power button on the keyboard, and walked off with a $1900 computer for under $300. He was MAD. Came home and found out I had really struck gold. 130GB HD, 1GB of RAM with 667MHz, Intel Core 2 Duo..er..Duo Core..whatever it is. I got this puppy practically for free. He tried to take me to court over it but there were too many witnesses backing me up. My insurance covered everything and fixed the power button on the monitor for me...not like it was that big of a deal to begin with.
