Picked up a small lot of G3/G4 machines today. The star of the show is a 450MHz G4 Cube complete with ADC display, speakers and two power supplies. The lot also included a Lombard, B&W G3, Yikes! G4, Gigabit G4 and a 800MHz iMac G4. Two large boxes of software CDs and a tote full of keyboards and mice.

Everything aside from the iMac boots. It is completely unresponsive. I am so stoked for the Cube. I remember when they came out and how much I wanted one. Only took 25 years to make it happen!

Very nice, especially for a first haul! Cube I can do without, but those Graphite twins would be what's missing from my collection. My DA does nicely though, too many Macs on hand. :rolleyes:

Which G3 'Book did you snag?

It is a 400MHz Lombard. No power adapter, unfortunately. But I have one on the way! I plan on selling the towers and the PowerBook, although I may keep the Yikes! machine since it was the first G4 model released. I've already got a dual 533MHz DA and a 15" PowerBook G4.
