Hey guys and girls, I've got here a pretty basic Apple Mac home computer that I'm looking to sell on.

Great for internet browsing etc. Alternatively, add a large internal (or external) hard drive and stick it in a corner as a file server/storage machine. You could even add an Elgato USB digital TV tuner and make it a home theatre system with a big screen TV attached. Whatever!

Specs:
1.25GHz G4 processor
1.0 GB RAM
40 GB hard drive
CD burner/DVD reader

Ports:
Ethernet
56k modem
DVI (video output) - will supply VGA adapter as pictured
Two USB 2 - with USB extension cord as pictured
FireWire 400

It runs Mac OS X (version 10.4 Tiger) quite smoothly, and has Microsoft Office on there too (so compatible with the kids computers at school) etc. Has Firefox and a few other apps on there as well as of course iTunes and iPhoto.

I want $250 for it with a keyboard and mouse.

Yeah that's a great idea. There are actually ready-made power inverter kits for these Macs available online for that exact purpose. Easily mounted into the dash board, glove box, under the seat.

Instructions here

Add a $40 bluetooth USB dongle and use a wireless mouse/keyboard/remote to control iTunes or Apple's Front-row software.

It of course has 3.5mm audio in and out jacks and the CD drive is slot-loading like in a car.
