if that's an eMac:
the power buton is just left of where the power cord plugs into the computer.

Ah, team Australia is a winner I see....

You'd think this would have to be worth more than $19.99....

Its a MAC, its not supposed to be upgraded, they want you to go spend another $2000 and buy another one They started using Intel chips in their systems

If the MAC does what you want it to do, then I'm happy for you. I will always be a PC man though, the simplicity and stability of MACs are a plus where as PCs may require more fine tuning due to the Micro$loth operating system/Wide variety of components available for them which don't always gell perfectly. I do like being able to upgrade components to my hearts content and the PC is perfect for that, plus custom cases which give you all the room/cooling in the world to do what you want to do. Audio has become a higher priority now so the PC will stay as it is for as long as possible, it has more than enough balls to run the latest games/video edit/sound edit and does so very fast, nothing slows down the solid state hard drive and massive 16 gigs of ram it has.

Yeh.... I got one of them too, but I gave it to my cats to sit inside to keep warm on really cold days.

Heh, heh, heh.....

"Derek", when I was your age, I don't think people had computers. A calculator maybe...
Today, I'm grateful to even have one, (actually seven), but that's beside the point.
I'm still just as happy with my calculator.....

The Macs I have are used as door stoppers / Ornaments, I am thinking of turning that Emac into a fish tank.

 

[derek92994]

Good Lord! That iMAC actually has a power switch on the front of it, looks like they were catching up to the PC there

LCD Porn?

LCD Porn?

Too funny but no - it would be LED porn (seven segment). Lot's of imagination required.

I've made two of those.
they look absolutely terrific.

Too bad that when the filter needed replacing you would have to buy a whole new tank

Do they come with pepper grinders also?
