iMac G3 Indigo
Found this one on craigslist circa 2018, met the seller at a Burger King. I later bought the appropriate Pro Keyboard and Mouse on eBay. (I'm now using a generic 60% keyboard to save space.) I ended up mostly playing mid-90s edutainment games on it since that was my main exposure to Macs. I'm still looking for more appropriate games for it.
The clock battery was dead, but fortunately it was removable and hadn't leaked. I found an exact replacement online. The speakers blew shortly after I got it. I found very close matches at an audio store online and managed to retrofit them into the original mounts.
In 2025, I replaced the brittle inner bezel with a reproduction from
MacEffects.
In August 2026, I replaced the Hard Disk with an SSD. I mostly followed
the
information here, but my unit would only work with the red Startech adapter. That took
three days to figure out! It boots much faster now. Unfortunately I
don't have a way to format the disk to use its full space, I could only
get the computer to boot from an image of the original drive.
