Bondi Blue iMac

Submitted by vantage point on August 3, 2005 - 12:41am

I picked up an old Bondi Blue iMac today for $20. I upgraded the RAM from 32MB to 64MB and will upgrade the memory some more at a later date.

When I opened the case to install the 32MB SO-DIMM, I noticed that the monitor uses an actual standard Macintosh monitor connector. The CD-ROM drive in this iMac does not work, so I have to install everything over a network... This got me to thinking...

Yeah, yeah, I can hear everybody now, "Uh oh, he's thinking... We're in trouble now..."

Seriously, I was wondering if anybody had ever mounted their old iMac into an ATX case and used an external monitor with their iMac?

Again, I only paid $20 for this iMac, so I'm not terribly concerned with losing my investment and frying this machine.

Ideas?

"I'm the dog, the big bad dog, the bounty hunter..."

I was checking out some iMac mod/hack sites earlier today and found that I can overclock this 233MHz toothless wonder and transform it into a turbocharged, fuel-injected rocket that will run at an astonishing and mind-numbing speed of 300MHz!!

Requirements: Two resistors!!

I'm liking this $20 investment already!
