It's awesome but I need a mouse and a keyboard for it. Hee hee.
It works great. My uncle got it for me at a garage sell. :D
I'm planning on doing some hacking on it. Maybe some hardware mods. I will be taking the case off of it and repainting it to look freaking awesome. I'm thinking crimson. Anyone got some links for hardware modding old things like this?
Anyone know how to put games onto it? It turns on but there's a "No Floppy Disk" image that comes up with the cursor. Maybe I need the mouse and keyboard to get past that part.

(This was the last computer they made that was good. I HATE MAC!)
This link is posted here so I don't loose it. :P http://macplus.mia.net/howto.html


EDIT:
I finished repainting it today! I just have to cut the window in it! Here's some pics!

With new electronics?
That was supposed to be a joke, right?

Nah, its just fun to mess with new stuff. Technically that PC isn't *new* but its new to you. Just like messing with the PSP or the Wii. Something new.

Smart-ass, anyways if I had it I would trick it out good enough to either run, vista, or leopard.

It'll be this crimson color.
I have a fan adapter: http://www.retrotechnology.com/herbs_stuff/macfan.jpg
It'll be black.

There's a circuit board on one side of the computer against the inside wall.
Therefore, I will only have one window.
It'll have LED's (of unknown colors) inside it. I'm thinking of mounting a Transformer inside it.
He can stand on the hard drive. It's a perfect pedistol.

That's a little overdone and cliche. I also don't have another computer to put inside it.



And I didn't have a choice as to what kind of POS I'd get.

Nice don't really like the red but still cool. Are you updating any hardware or software?

PostPosted: Sun Sep 14, 2008 5:59 pm

I'll be updating it to 7.1 or 7.5.
And I'll be looking for internal hardware mods to try out. I'll also try to put in a window with LED's and maybe put some kind of action figure with a scene in there. Like, two transformers fighting or something.
And as for the color, it's the perfect color I was looking for! How can you not like it!?
