iMac G3 M5521 graphite slot loading with two FireWire ports and VGA port -- model number and features indicate this is an iMac 400/DV SE model.
Sold with only the power cord as an accessory -- no keyboard nor mouse to accompany the \"all in one\" CPU and display, as we like the non-matching color old Apple USB keyboard and round Apple mouse and are keeping them to test and use our many other nearly \"vintage\" (20 years old) Apple USB computers.

We have not tested the veracity of most of these applications, but those tested all seem to work fine. We have not tested the online network connectivity of this machine. A week ago the computer\'s time and date was reset to current time and date from its prior 1904 settings, and has kept up to date with the current date and time since then.
This iMac G3\'s speakers sound STRONG when powering on -- as this is a Ubuntu 8.04 operating system, there is no sleep mode on this machine (the machine does have a screen saver in effect); it\'s either powered on or shut down.
There are some slight scuffs on the CPU outer case.
This iMac G3 will ship double boxed, with the CPU and power cord placed within a sturdy \"inner\" protectively packed 16\" x 16\" x 16\" box sealed shut then \"floated\" within an \"outer\" protectively packed slightly less than 21\" x 21\" x 21\" box.
