They were all left out in the rain along with a few other items and a large file cabinet. Interested to see if they have a removable processor or not. Will find out tonight after some lawn work. Anybody have any eperience with these?
Apple Power Macintosh 9500 | Mel's Macintosh Universe
CPU Type:
PPC604 (Built-in FPU)
It says it's built in in that link you provided with your original post.
Love them old Mac's, We had a few of the first gens, computer built in the CRT monitor, really fun to break down, Not bad gold content is not a bad thing as well.
The 9500's are very nice PCI Powermacs with 604 CPUs (they are on a removable card). Only the 9500 and 9600 came with 6 PCI slots so collectors tend to like them.
I might be interested in some parts if they havn't been gutted yet. 9500's have very brittle plastics.
The motherboards are really nice, They have at least 8 large IC chips on the back of the motherboard with all the normal things found on the front. It wouldn't suprise me if a buyer would pay more for them as I would think the pm recovery is really nice. I'm saving all motherboards like these and ones that have processors built into the board to see how much I can get per pound. I have about 15 of them right now.
I've plugged up quite a few of them so far and none power on. Like i said, they were left out in the rain for a couple of weeks.Quote:

Quite a few old memory sticks 64mb, etc. I will check on some of the other parts when my family and I get back from our short vacation this Thursday (we leave early Monday morning). It seems like as soon as I book our vacation, the phone calls start pouring in for computers and lawn care, but, I don't want my boys to grow up not knowing what the beach looks like :)Quote:
