Trash Picked iMac

Another lucky trash find! 500MHz G3 iMac Indigo. Definitely seen some better days and has obviously seen a rough life. Still works good aside from a faulty optical drive, and still has the previous owner's personal documents on the hard drive!
Needless to say, it is most likely going back in the trash after I went through hell to take out the optical drive. Otherwise, I am saving a few parts to use for my other iMac.

Thanks!

I like the teal colored ones and the orange.

lol I have the same one, same color, and even a broken optical drive to boot!

[@SarahKate365]

I've seen them sell on eBay for $50+ and rarer ones like the 'flower power' version, sell for nearly $300. It's sad people just toss them. Nice find!

Sounds good.

lol For a good reason, I watch all of those guys!

Nice find! I got an original bondi blue iMac and a graphite G3 in the trash

[@alexringrose6153]

I trash picked one as well!

My graphite iMac is 400MHz, but it only has one working speaker and the DVD-ROM drive is a little finicky. Other than that, it's in much nicer condition than this one, so I'm hoping to fix it up completely with the spare parts from this iMac.

Except mine's 400MHz.

People throw these away in Tucson left and right I found the white one sitting on a curb, and two weeks later the pokadot one in its box......one man's trash is my come up I guess

[@TheTechnicalWizard]

I hope you grabbed the pokadot one. Those things are stupid expensive.

I found one of these in green. Sadly it didn't work.
