Awesome! My first experience with apple was with a $10 7500 that I threw in a $5 G3 300MHz and found some super cheap RAM. After a SCSI upgrade I got OS X runnin on it with a 3rd party app. I also got a 15 inch Sony Trinitron apple monitor and kb and mse with it for the $10. I miss that little guy.
