Macman142's collection (hoard)
So I'm a hoarder at heart with far too much stuff but I can't help myself when there's another item I decide I need to have...! This applies to most of my collections, but particularly to my Apple collection...
There's an ongoing process of selling off unwanted items that don't particularly interest me, or items I've ended up with multiples of. My particular interest is in collecting the compact Macintosh variations and that's where it started for me. But that has carried into the iMac G3 colours (another favourite) and beyond. For a time there, this era (coloured iMac era) was particularly easy to come by and cheap to purchase (often free).
Long term plan is to dedicate an area of the games room to a wall-length display, but finding suitable, attractive shelving units is the sticking point at the moment.
Unfortunately, so much stuff means that although most are complete setups, not all actually work due to capacitors or hard drives most of the time. That's the downside of having a larger quantity over focussing on repairing and maintaining a few select machines.

Re: Macman142's collection (hoard)
Nice collection you have there. For some reason I thought I remembered you importing a G3 AIO from the US, obviously I'm wrong.

Re: Macman142's collection (hoard)
I wish I had the kind of space to have that kind of collection. I still regret selling my FP but I may end up buying another if I trim out a few more machines.

Re: Macman142's collection (hoard)
A working pic of the FP can be organised for sure. Thankfully, most of the G3 iMacs (and G3 and G4 Macs) all still work - or at least did last time I tried!
