This is for a Blueberry Apple iMac Computer. It has a 350 MHz processor, 128 MB of RAM, 6 GB Hard Drive and a CD Drive. This unit has MAC OS 9.04 installed. It is in good condition cosmetically with a few scratches. It powers up fine and all functions work. This unit was recently removed from service from a working enviroment.

Includes:

1 - Blueberry Apple iMac 350 Mhz Computer

1 - Power cord

Does not include keyboard, mouse, software or manuals

Mod edit: Removed hot-linked image.
is this good?

Have you seen one of these in the flesh? Personally, I find the screen can be a bit of a strain on the eyes, then again I don't have very good eyesight.
About how much is it going to cost you? You may be able to get a better deal elsewhere that includes keyboard, mouse and manual, maybe even some software.

well can you maybe help me then?

Hey buddy,
That mac you've got pictured there is pretty old these days, especially with OS X 10.4 Tiger approaching. Maybe you should save up just a little more cash (Use the money from your Dell?) and start looking at eMacs, both new and old. Second hand iBooks are also quite cheap. For a solid OS X experience try for a machine with 512 mb of ram.

If this is your first mac experience you'll want it to be a good one

sherlockmaster,
First of all, is there any chance you could increase your budget, $80-$125 is pretty small.
What exactly do you need a computer for?
Without knowing too much about what you want out of a computer, I would suggest looking into an eMac or iMac G4.

mostly chating and web browsoing is ok butt,i also like to play some high detailed games as well.and hook it up to my 6.1 thx config.

yeah well i can afford a mini and some extras if its ok with my mom.
EDIT- SPELLING

In that case, the machine you posted may turn out to be a little disappointing. Maybe same up some more cash and keep shopping round.
Maybe you can try posting in the 'Wanted to buy' forum, something may turn up.

I think you will be quite happy with the Mini. Good thing is you should be able to use your monitor, keyboard and mouse from your Dell.

my del was a laptop.butt i have an old 17' samron monitor and 2 emachines keyboards,mice.

Yeah, go for the mini - it's definitely what you want.

if ur happy with ur current screen, go for the mac mini. get the 1.25Ghz model and u can successfully overclock it to 1.42Ghz if u want see the guide @ http://www.lbodnar.dsl.pipex.com/macmini/ only if ur comfortable with this kind of stuff though....

If you have a USB keyboard and mouse, that's great, just plug them in(to the Mac Mini) and enjoy. If not, sell them and pick up a USB keyboard and mouse @ the swap meets: http://comtrader.com.au/
