    So far I have sunk around $35 in it. I only need a new battery and screen and it will be ready to go! Also, the OS was not corrupt and I was able to log into a profile. Luckily the hint was their password. I already re-installed Leopard and I am downloading updates right now.

    These are actually worth repairing? Holy crap I have like a hundred fucking spare laptops because people tend to give me old computers as part exchange or collateral for for me building or repairing new ones and I swear I have one of these somewhere.

    Send it my way! I'm fixing this up for school. It's a great laptop for word processing and simple browsing. Plus it beats buying a new Mac. Otherwise I love the old PowerPC macs. I have like 7 of them!
