Description from the seller
Hello
Today I am putting up for sale this Apple iMac G3 Lime (green color).
The computer, as well as the keyboard and mouse, have been completely disassembled and restored.
It is in very good overall condition, as evidenced by the photos.
There is a small crack on the interior plastic (see photo 37), barely visible.
On the technical side
This computer is VINTAGE. It is therefore difficult to use it daily. It is primarily a collectible object. However, it is fully functional and will allow you to rediscover the magic of computing from the early 2000s!
It features a G3 processor running at 400MHz.
It has 192 MB of RAM, which is three times what was delivered at the time!
This is a DV model, with the two Firewire ports on the side.
It is equipped with a DVD player, fully restored. No more headaches over inserting or ejecting discs! This one works like the first day!
The PRAM battery has been replaced to ensure the computer maintains the correct date and time, even after it has been unplugged.
The motherboard was disassembled and checked, as was the power supply. Everything was cleaned and carefully reassembled.
The sound is provided by the original Harman Kardon speakers, which are green in color.
Regarding the DV model, an RGB / BGA port is also available, allowing the connection of the iMac to an external device.
The keyboard
First of all, it is an AZERTY format, model M2452.
As you can see in the photos, it has been completely disassembled and restored. Indeed, cleaning the keys alone is not enough to guarantee a clean and fully functional keyboard, as it was in 1999!
Of course, all the keys have been tested and their functionality validated :) The same goes for the small LED indicating the uppercase, and the two USB ports located on each side of the keyboard.
The mouse
In 1999, at Apple, they weren't yet talking about optical mice on the iMac G3. The official mouse (model M4848) was a ball mouse. As you might guess, after more than 25 years, the gears can be completely seized. But don't worry, this mouse has been completely disassembled and cleaned to ensure as pleasant an experience as possible.
The operating system.
I performed a new installation of Mac OS 10.3. For this, I only use official Apple installation CDs.
The computer is supplied in its original box, which is increasingly rare and difficult to find.
The box is in good overall condition, especially considering that it is over 25 years old!
It therefore contains:
The iMac G3 Lime
The M2452 Lime keyboard
The Lime M4848 mouse
The original power cable: the Rainbow Cable.
Apple stickers
Some useful information:
The total weight of the iMac in the box is approximately 17 kg. An additional approximately 2 kg of protection will need to be added in case of shipment.
Regarding the delivery
I offer home delivery across the entire Belgian territory.
For others, delivery in a highly protected package is also possible.
Home withdrawal is also possible :)
Good luck with your auctions to everyone, and see you soon!
Remy.
