[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1004616, member: 56379"] Well no dollars into it is a great place to start. When I mentioned history...if the previous owner said that it worked fine...and they just wiped the hard drive for security reasons (which a lot of people do) then you would have good reason to believe that the computer is fine...and spending $125 for OS 10.4 or 10.5 would be worth it. But if you had reasons to believe (based on any history you knew)...that this computer may be defective or broken in some way...then I would think that you would want to spend as little money on this eMac as possible until you knew it was fine. Which of course getting an OS loaded on it will help determine. Sounds like you got a pretty good deal from this place that went out of business...a free eMac & 200 sticks of ram that hopefully you got a good price on!:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
