i riced the gently caress out of my og imac

upgraded the vram on the lovely rear end rage iic to 6mb

then i maxxed the memory to what was it 128 or 256mb i dont remember

then i got a bigger hard drive

then i got a 4x usb cd burner for it that made one good cd every third try

then i got the voodoo 2 card for the mezzanine slot that was ONLY on the rev a and maybe b macs (8 meg v2, they didnt offer 16)

i think i got an even bigger hard drive around this time but i dont remember too good

then i swapped out the daughtercard with a 400mhz upgrade that may even have been a g4 i dont remember

but that made the fucker overheat so i duct taped a fan to the top of it like a goodamn idiot but amazingly it worked that that fucker was boss for q3 and unreal tourney i tell you what

then i put suse linux on it

then i put yellow dog linux on it

then i put osx on it

then i bought a g4 emac and pieced together a pc and the imac went into a spare bedroom for seven years until i threw it away

i probably spent like 1500 bucks upgrading a $1300 computer

yospos bitch
