As I start all my threads...:
Ok so here's the deal...
I picked up an Apple PowerMac G4 (Model M8493) the other week for $30 off a guy here in Rocky. He was sketchy about me looking at it, and was showing all the sighns that he was getting a bit pissed off when I went to open it up to have a look inside it. So being the apparent Mac fanboy I kinda am, I just said I'd take it (I blame my stupidity on a male blonde moment
). Once I got it home to crack it open it was a differant story.
He'd nicked the RAM. Not a problem, SD RAM is a dime a dozen here, and I only need abound 700MB or so. Here's the kicker though, he'd also pinched the HDD with the Mac OS on it.
Now my choices are:
1: Chuck away the hardware and mod the case to build some sort of retarded, uber, clash of fanboy, flamewar rig, with Windows hardware and OS in a PowerMac case (sure to start some arguments)
.
2: Try to sell it as is, I may get $50 for the hardware. Either way it's a small profit. Not what I wanted but it would suffice.
3: See if I could pick up a drive with the Mac OS on it (yeah, that'll happen
), chuck it in, and sell it off.
Thoughts? Option 3 would make me a very happy chappy, Option 2 would be liveable, and Option 1 would bring me many years of much enjoyment, showing off my rage-war rig...
