Well kevin, for one thing, the blue & white mac is natively an ata setup, if it has a scsi connection on it, its a scsi card added on. So you will not need to add an ata card too it. $350 for the rig isnt too bad, you would get it for that much about on ebay. As far as the dalmation imac, i would say its worth $300.00 at best. They might take it for a trade. Hope that helps ya.
