Ok - For the record, here's a link to a color comparison list on Wikipedia. It's not entirely accurate, but you can see the difference between the colors, along with their names. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:IMac_G3_flavors.jpg I also have photos of a Bondi and a Blueberry next to each

Yeah, I saw that wiki page several months ago... the colours are way off on my displays. I also saw another page where the guy had the two side-by-side, and mine looked closer to Bondi... but you simply cannot judge an on-screen color with the actual machine. The specs tell the official story

But think of this, does anyone even care enough about an old PC case to save it at all? They go straight to the chipper. Only the bland ones do. The nice ones are saved and re-used over and over and over and over and over and over again. Case and point: my 1991 PC Server. It's about twice as

Hi, I've never attempted OCing either of my eMacs. I have the '04 and '05 models. The 1.25 GHz has been slow with iPhoto and later heavy web browsing. I would maybe try the OC on your model with some supervision by a computer pro. As for painting, flat black would look really nice on an eMac with
