Works great!
By J. Kim
I got this for $69 with 90 day warranty on Amazon two years ago and let it sit for a while. I recently started using it for graphics design and video editing, moving from PC to Mac. It's incredible for Indesign, Illustrator, Photoshop Elements, and Final Cut Express. It needs an upgrade for HD video, but ram is less than $10 for upgrade to 1gb. DVD player on this PC is amazing and looks great on my LCD screen. Including OS 9.2.1, I was able to get Garageband and iMovie versions without needing a G5 processor.

Runs solid, but with some surprising limitations
By Steve G
I bought this machine for a SW project I was working on where I needed to demonstrate the same code running on a little endian and a big endian Unix platform. I was looking for the cheapest PowerPC mac I could find. This circa 1999 machine only cost me about $100 and I certainly got that much out of it. I downloaded XCODE for Tiger from the Apple site and had my program debugged and running in about a week.Now what?The CPU is too slow to support the OS-X Leopard upgrade disks I had planned on installing, so its stuck forever on Tiger (10.4).The motherboard doesn't support more than 512M on a single SIMM, so it won't take the 1G PC100 SIMM I had laying around.I thought about using it as a disk server, but it only takes two PATA drives, and ignores any tracks beyond 128 G.It has a PCI bus, but won't recognize any SATA (or PATA) drive board I plug in.I did get it to accept a second ethernet card, and I thought about using it as a network firewall.A few quick tests showed the network throughput to be pretty pitiful.I suppose I could use it to run Quicken 2007.Note: Vender was great. They were very clear about the model and threw in a free keyboard. Machine still does everything this model was supposed to do when it was new and it feels like it could run another 5 or 10 years. Anyone looking to get serious work done on a Mac would be advised to look a bit further up the food chain than I did.
