Should have a Pentium III lying around somewhere, unless someone threw it away. D:

WTF IS UR PROFILE PIC!?!

Just a guy who peaked at building back in the days of the GTX 980. If you see me here, assume i have technical knowledge akin to a committed hobbyist builder back then. If something's changed, you'll need to tell me(nicely plz). I'm probably asking for help with the modern build scene since I have no clue what's going on.

Probably. I don't plan to sell them for more than $5 on eBay, separate.

Really nice looking. Less yellow than mine but what can I say they are old but still perform great. I think the cpu you have is the same as the Macintosh LC.

Is it a mechanical keyboard from Apple (they did some if I remember)? Do you have the ethernet card, if you do we should do a lan on Warcraft II with them!

I have a 1990 Macintosh LC working but faulty hd which was Quantum ProDrive 40mb.

post-81126-0-45008900-1426200434_thumb.j

I did searched and found Mac os 8.1 boxed in nice condition.

Hey you seem to know about old apple stuff.

I can purchase an apple II plus with monitor, joystick, 2 floppy drive, and manual, for 125$.

Is it worth it?

What do you think resale value is?

Nice apple stuff, I have a powermac g4 cube and an iMac g4, along with a 1994 apple adjustable keyboard

I can find the manual for 50$ so is it worth it? Yeah! But look if you have the floppy for the os and some softwares before buying it.

I bought the system new in the box, apparently came from a company that used to sell them and it was just left in their spares inventory and was never touched and when the company went under one of the guys bought it and never used it, unfortunately with its age the hard drive was dead as a doornail.

Thats well worth the money, I do have a Apple IIe from 1982 as well and I bought it for around $120 by itself with one drive but Apple II's are very rare in the UK.
