Condition & Notes
This unit is in mint condition, and is complete with all the original packaging, power cable, modem cable, 4-pin-to-6-pin FireWire cable, keyboard, mouse, rear panel cover, software CDs, and documentation.
This unit was purchased from its original owner, who originally got it at CompUSA.
This particular machine is a 500 MHz model, in the beautiful Indigo color, introduced in the summer of 2001. This was the final ‘refresh’ for the iMac G3, with the new iMac G4 being introduced the following January (although a low-end G3 model was sold all the way through 2003).
It is in fully working order and currently has both Mac OS 9.1 and OS X 10.0.3 installed.

All set up with keyboard and mouse. The screen is crisp and sharp in person - these dark refresh bands/lines only appear on camera, as is typical for CRT displays.

The iMac Setup Guide fold-out.
Setup guide, user’s guide, software coupons, AppleCare/license/warranty info, Apple stickers, and software CDs: Software Restore (4), Software Install, Applications, Apple Hardware Test, and iMovie 2.
This “VGA Vented Cover” shipped with all slot-loading iMac G3s equipped with a VGA port in the rear (DV, DV+, and DV SE models). Users could remove the original cover, which blocked access to the port, and install this one, which has a port access hole in it.
