Video Game "Look what I found"

Bondi Blue G3 iMac complete with Slate grey/clear plexi keyboard and pro mouse. - $25

Boots like a charm and has Mac OS 9.2 on it. I've been grinning like an idiot about it all day.

Never used a Mac at all before though, so I'm completely freaking lost as to how to work the damn thing.

Hmm, would the Marathon games run on it? Macs were never known for gaming so uh not sure what you will do with this acquisition!

Yeah, it's got an ATI Rage with 8MB of RAM in i if I'm reading all the stuff online correctly, so maybe just for older mid-late 90's stuff, but mostly I just plan on using it to sync up iPods and as a music server when I network it to my PC.

My only problem is that I don't have any restore discs for it to install my larger HDD! Anyone willing to donate a MAC OS X 10.4.11 restore disc?

Just got back from EB Games. Picked up Starcraft Battle Chest for $10

Aha! I suspected this from your WTB 512mb PC100/133 memory post!

Not sure the brand keyboard, mouse you bought with it.
Any USB Mouse and or USB Keyboard will work, a Mac compatible keyboard gives you Open Apple Controls, Volume and Eject Disc Keys. You also gain a couple extra USB ports. Its the older 1.1 USB but works fine. Keyboard USB port is great for that Blue Tooth Dongle or iPod connection. The best thing is no Fan Noise! Simple heat convection, only hum is your drive spinning. Plus you have an external connection for that larger monitor, just loses the bootup sound with external speakers.

I'm pounding away on a 500mhz iMac CRT right now. Popped in two 512 cards and the Apple DVD drive. Internals only allow propreitary CD-R or DVD drive but any IDE will fit that is under 127gb. DVD movies play fine, but You Tube Videos are choppy off the Internet.

Anyways what's the mhz on that bondi? Is it a slot or tray loader? Keep the old hard drive in case of errors in the eventuality setting up Firmware and OS9-OSX same partition with optional Dual boot. Even if you don't ever plan on using OS9 again its handy running under OSX for older programs. You can set OS9 not to load unless an older program needs it.

EDIT
After OSX install, I simply copied OS9 back to newer drive using an USB external IDE case for the original OS9 drive.

Ok, did some looking and my Mac is actually the Bluberry Mac. It's a slot loader and I plan on swapping the Mobo for a 600Mhz board, upping the RAM to 1GB and putting a 100GB HD for a decent boost when running OS X.

The keyboard is an Apple Pro Keyboard and the Mouse is a black/clear Apple Pro mouse (my personal favorite mouse ever) and the monitor in the MAC was literally just replaced with a new one a few weeks ago at the comp shop I bought it at.

I am actually going through the trouble of collecting Game Republic games, so I got Dragon Ball Origins for DS and Brave story for the psp. I don't care what other people think about these games cause I really enjoy their games. I want to point out that Dragon Ball Origins is getting pretty hard to find especially around my area and gamestop is only selling it for 10 dollars new. I highly recommend that people pick the game up and no, you don't have to be a big fan of the dragon ball series to like the game. I currently own Genji 1 and 2 (horrible camera angle, but you can't beat the price) and the highly underrated Folklore game, so you can say I know a bit about the company. I also recommend picking up Folklore as it is only 19.99 at gamestop, so get it before they are gone AGAIN.

Battletoads/Double Dragon - $15
Startropics - $6

Alp came with manuals and slip covers. Not really a good deal, seeing as the lady selling it looked up the prices on eBay, but I've heard good things about the games so its cool.

Good catch! You got a great deal!
Be careful, the faster boards run hotter. Long term overheat reliability with no fans might be an issue. What's in there currently? Apple DVD drive is sweet though sometimes burps out the CDRs.
