biko asked a question 30/10/2011 1:44 pm (6 months ago):These Macs are the first G4s from 1999. I'll give you 25 for one.
Can it been seen working?
What OS is on it? Tiger?
RAM on it? 128MB?
Airport/Wifi?
hopi says 30/10/2011 7:40 pm (6 months ago):@biko:to be honest, i need to clear them out of the house (taking too much space) i wouldn't mind 25e per mac on the condition that you take both @ 50 with the free pcs along. 2 years ago i actually paid to get these machines of a friend because i wanted some osx & mac experience..they served their purpose & now are just sitting here collecting dust. no hard drives in them atm, so no OS, but can make u a copy of a 10.4 (tiger) cd.. RAM came default at 64MB, i upped it to 128 yes. No airport (as they dont come bundled with it), i spent 30 quid on an oem card on ebay which i am not putting in the lot as i use it on my pc desktop.
biko asked a question 31/10/2011 10:33 am (6 months ago):Sorry mate, if there's no hard drives in the macs I don't really have use of them as I don't want start by having to source parts and build them.
Hopefully some mac geek will come along and take them off your hands :)
hopi says 31/10/2011 7:12 pm (6 months ago):@biko:well, the drives that came with these machines was about 10gb, so depending on what you planned to do with them you would maybe need bigger drives. If you were looking at them for the same purposes that i needed them, then i will try to find the drives (think i have a 20gb & something else around) & put them in for you with a clean install of OSX 10.4 (i didnt list that in the ad because it is quite a time consuming process). Let me know if you want them & i will start to work on them. Also, very likely the ram from the pcs would work in the macs, so ram could go up to about 256mb, not 100% sure of it though. If you are genuinely interested i will look onto it.
biko asked a question 31/10/2011 8:27 pm (6 months ago):It's for the daughter to have her own computer so I just need one.
She been using my computers (Windows and Ubuntu) so I thought it'd be cool to get her a Mac - I used to be a Mac guy a long time ago.
She'll just use it for the usual on-line chat/home work/games/DVDs/music so a small hard drive is fine, as long as the OS will run ok.
As yourself, I don't have much space and would probably just have to give away or recycle the 3 others.
I'll need to buy a VGA screen, wifi-card and other peripherals but don't want to spend too much as she's just a kid and won't use it for much other than simple stuff (for another few years). Does the CD/DVD work? The speaker?
Was osx 10.4 running on it before? I read there could be firmware issues.
If you don't think it's worth the trouble I understand.
hopi says 01/11/2011 8:02 pm (6 months ago):@biko:hi biko, if you can give me a few days i will try to find the drives & get to it, but only if you are genuinely interested.
biko asked a question 02/11/2011 9:32 am (6 months ago):Mate, don't worry about it. I'll find something else for her and hopefully someone will take those computers. Good luck.
hopi says 02/11/2011 12:05 pm (6 months ago):@biko:np biko, thanks

ballinue asked a question 02/11/2011 6:14 pm (6 months ago):what are the PC specs please
hopi says 02/11/2011 7:45 pm (6 months ago):@ballinue:hi ballinue, basic specs are in the ad listing, the pcs are for free so if you would like them, your welcome to come by & collect.
stelin asked a question 06/11/2011 12:34 pm (6 months ago):very interested in the pcs if still available?
hopi says 07/11/2011 3:49 pm (6 months ago):@Galway11: i will accept your offer, although the user stelin would really like 1 of the PCs & will put it to good use. Would you mind to take the 2 G4 mac's & 1 PC instead of all 4 machines ? I can then give 1 PC to stelin
hopi says 07/11/2011 4:41 pm (6 months ago):@stelin: stelin, yes i would like certain items from your ads, sent pm about it, thanks

Digd placed offer 07/11/2011 11:27 pm (6 months ago):€40 Offered
Do you still have them ?
hopi says 08/11/2011 11:00 am (6 months ago):stelin will be collecting on wednesday, if the deal fails i will post an update, thanks for the interest
hopi says 08/11/2011 8:22 pm (6 months ago):@Galway11:yes, as of now stelin plans to collect all 4, will update this post if plans change
hopi says 08/11/2011 11:10 pm (6 months ago):@Galway11:what do you mean? asking price is 50euro. You offered 40 which i was willing to accept for 3 machines, so that someone who could make use of a machine (which was part of the free ones) could get one too. You did not accept the agreement, so i dont really understand why you are getting agitated about it. will keep this post updated if the deal fails.
hopi says 09/11/2011 9:32 pm (6 months ago):@Galway11: not yet, will keep the post updated
hopi says 09/11/2011 10:08 pm (6 months ago):@Galway11:stelin never got back or replied to any of my messages. i am interested in a few of your items: battery booster + angle sata cable. The 4 machines are yours in exchange for the 2 items + 10eur. Let me know if we have a deal, thanks
hopi says 09/11/2011 10:25 pm (6 months ago):@Galway11:pm sent
hopi says 10/11/2011 5:26 pm (6 months ago):Big timewasting going on here by 2 users. I am going to withdraw the advert, add hard drives & install operating systems in all machines so as to appeal to a larger group of users.
