Found this on Kijiji Canada, lady wanted a PC to trade for this, so i contacted her and made the swap. She had painted this all black and pretty. With Biohazard signs to boot!!! Specs: Rev A. iMac G3 233 MHz 192 MB ram 24X CD 80 GB hard drive OS 9.2.2 *originally had 10.3.9 on it, but wiped it due to the hard drive having a limit jumper on it making it 40 GB* I have been putting all my old OS 9 apps and games on it. *wallpaper courtesy of Gothic World*

Last night i did a mod on this. I had an old laptop DVD recorder kicking around so i decided to put it in. Took the faceplate covering and the green button off of the old CD drive and i cut the inside lip off so it had some flex when i pressed the bezel. So the green button is just for show. I gently press to the right of the green button and the DVD opens. New drive but with stock looks.
I might do some more mods on this yet, i know it's pointless, but parts are cheap for this. I found someone online selling a Rev D. 333 MHz CPU for cheap and also get a couple sticks of 256 MB SoDimms. Also the 4 MB video module is dirt cheap too. So i can get 1024 x 768 by Millions of Colors instead of Thousands with my current 2 MB configuration.
One thing I have noticed on these machines is the 92MM cooling fan is these are very loud. Right now it's louder than my QS so i will definatly have to fix that problem.

I'm tempted to contact the woman back because she gave me her business card and i might get her to do something funky with my Quicksilver. *oh, by the way, she runs this store in Edmonton* But i decided to start a mod page for my iMac located here.

Looks like a good fixer upper. The ravendesigns website is a little scarey though LOL. I take it you didn't pick up a flogger or paddle while you were there
