I need opinions. My friend has an extra iMac G3 (only faulty GPU) and thought of throwing it away. I'm not a hardware person, so I'm just wondering how much would it cost to salvage this piece of antique? smile.gif

What if I want to fix it? How much would it cost? Everything is alright except GPU.

um... that model is nearly 7 years old. Apple doesn't make parts anymore.
so you might be looking at a RM1000 + repair cost because the GPU is part of the main logicboard, and those are not cheap smile.gif

Oh damn. It's pretty expensive, thought I could salvage it. Thanks a lot for the heads up smile.gif

Might not be the correct thread, but do you guys use Magic Mouse or some other mouse? I don't like MM, looking for good Bluetooth mouse, recommendations?
