I was wondering, how should I go about asking the schools in my area about getting their old Macs?
My high school, for example, has put away all of the iMacs (Snow) and a few PowerMac G4 (Sawtooth) away for storage and replaced them all with really old PCs (it's more for network compatibility). If I'm lucky, I can probably get a few iMac G4s and the old ADC's. I'd love to get my hand on a few of those old machines, perhaps sell a few as my own business or turn a few into my replacement Macs in my room.
Any tips for refurbing and cleaning? I'm pretty sure it's all permanent marker on beige boxes and the clear plastic for the more modern machines, though it has been rubbing off most of them, last time I saw them.
You think I'll have to pay for the Macs? If so, you don't think it's too high, as in maybe just one or two figures?
Once I get those Macs, the only problem may be getting my parents to let me store them in our already cramped apartment...
