@gumbyistella It is more than capable of displaying 800 x 600. The Macintosh lets it go up to 1024 x 768. On a Windows machine I can get it up to 1080P.
@thyssenelevator95 1024x768 might be the Maxiumum the Macintosh will do but it can't display 1080p. You may set it to a high resolution but it not actually displaying it that high.
the tower actually has a built in subwoofer too, and that zip drive slot can fit a hard drive in it thats what I use my extra port for. also i run os9 on mine. I never could get ethernet working on it maybe the card i got for it was shot, but i did get it on internet by putting in usb and a wireless usb card. Also you can use a universal remote so you could use it to turn the computer off and on.
I *love* this Mac and I hope to purchase one soon. My neighbors gave a full Mac setup like you got, except it was a 1993 Quadra 610 :) You're running System 7, but if you upgrade the RAM (dirt cheap these days) you could run OS 8 or OS 9 and really deck it out.
Man i love classic macs. I have a powermac g4 with a powerpc g4 and mac os x 10.4.11. thanks for the upload =D. btw i will upload a video of my mac soon ;-)
Thinkin' Things was the bomb! Used to play that all the time in kindergarten and the first grade!
I have an Apple IIC that I play around with sometimes. This PowerMac is awesome though. Definitely don't see those boot-up and shutdown speeds anymore!! =)
I have a Mac, but mine isn't nearly as old as that one. Mine is from 2009 and yours is from 1997 (major age difference). My grandmother got her computer hit by lightning 2 times, and it was through the phone line like what happened to that one. Cool video.
I used to have one ecactly like it. Bought in 1997. I still have the restore disk. Is it worth anything?

@steventean I don't have telnet, and the telephone port doesn't work anymore. Also, I have no 10-base T ethernet card for it.

@thyssenelevator95 Go buy a Comm Slot II Ethernet card and you'll be able to get it online. You should also upgrade the OS to 8.6.

Shit, that think is fucking HEAVY. My 24" iMac is 25.4lbs total! All in one! The keyboard and mouse probably add another .5/1 lb onto it, but still!
