This guy has 25 fully working Power Mac 5500/250s for sale on eBay for only a penny (plus shipping) buy it now. The 5500/250 is the most powerful all-in-one computer ever made that can run Mac OS 7.6.1. It has 3D video acceleration, and can be upgraded to 500mhz G3, and can accept internal AV features including a TV tuner. I suggest anyone looking for a great deal pick one up. I know I am.

That would be awesome if I lived anywhere near there, I hope someone here or someone that can really appreciate those machines gets them. Otherwise, I'd be more than glad to drop a penny for em' :lol:

I like the idea of an all-in-one machine as much as the idea of a tower/ desktop/ whatever with monitor. Both models have therir advantages and disadvantages. Btw: If someone gets those six 5500/250 and there is one board too much in them I'd like to have it for my 5200 to replace the technical abomination inside it...

I've actually got the fastest non-G3 AIO... a 5500/275. They only sold them in Europe, bought mine from a guy in The Netherlands via eBay a few months ago. It's a black beauty. Don't have any pics at the moment, but I'll take some soon. Oh, and 7.6.1 is crazy fast. I've got the HD partitioned into 2 sections - one for OS 9.1 and the other for 7.6.1. It's also running a Sonnet G3 400 MHz upgrade at the moment. 7 was fast before the upgrade, now it's just plain silly. :wink: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac/stats/powermac_5500_275.html

Actually I have a 5500/275 so mine is a little bit faster. I run 8.6 on it.

There are a few sellers near me who have lots of computers for sale. One of them has beige G3 desktops stacked floor to ceiling (I bought one for ten bucks last fall and haven't touched it since because I snagged an iMac the next morning). Another has a ton of 5200-5400-5500 all-in-ones. And the Arlington school district is dumping their beige G3's two at a time on eBay. Another guy has a large stack of sad little G3/233 cacheless Powerbooks. Then there's me, who sold off my other 4400-7600-8500 machines over the past few months in my eBay store. I had bought a lot of sixteen mixed machines, stripped a few, kept a few, and sold the rest and more than tripled my money.

Does the late PPC powermac mobo fit a 5400 case? I dont think it'll make a difference in speed with the stock CPU since I have a sonnet, but I think at least it may help--maybe? Bus speed would be higher. b
