PowerMac machines

Most recent revision date April 14 2008.

We are primarily selling PowerMac PARTS NOT SYSTEMS as of 2008. Inventory and prices for these parts are under evaluation. Contact us for prices for specific parts or systems in the meantime.

We have in this section Power Macs prior to the G3's and some cards and accessories. For our 68040 systems, check our 68040 section. For any iMac, eMac, G3, or any G4 or G5 systems, check our iMac section. Prices and models change often so monitor these pages! Want to compare processors and speeds? Check our list of systems and processors. See the end of this page for the date this page was updated.

If you need to see technical specifications on any of these systems, check this link and search Apple's lists of systems specifications. At this link is a memory chart for Macs.

If you would like parts from these listed systems, like power supplies or logics (CPU cards), or add-on cards, ask for availability and price. Note: Images below may be models with matching case, refer to the text description for actual features.

To order, please follow this link for ordering information, terms and conditions, and info about orders outside the USA. A complete list of pointers to our Mac inventory, services and information can be found on my Mac home page.

PowerMac 8500, 9500 systems

The 8500 and 9500 systems are in tower cases very similar (But not identical) to the older PowerMac 8100 as in the image here.

Due to low demand in these as systems, we have stripped most of them down, saving the motherboard/CPU boards, power supplies, etc. A complete systems will be listed below IF available. I list some parts specifically on other pages of my Web site but you can also ask for a specific part by description, system and (if you have it) part number. Note: typically the 8100/8500/9500 CD-ROM "cover" bezel becomes broken. We'll discount a system without this cover.

PowerMac 7200, 7300, 7500 & 7600: PowerPC at 75MHz to 200MHz

These systems have a PCI bus for expansion, and use 168-pin DIMM 5V memory.

Due to declining demand, we've stripped down most of these and are offering PARTS ONLY for many of these models. But we do get a few systems in on occasion in 2006. So if you want a complete system ask for a quote, but review prices below to get an idea of the cost of a system. System shipping weight 27 lbs.

7000 series logics (motherboards) and CPUs (processor cards) are available for less than the cost of a system. Ask for a quote. Shipping weight for logic (motherboard) is 7 lbs, for CPU card is 2 lbs, for both 8 lbs. The 7200 does not have a removable processor card. If you want parts for these systems I list some specifically on other pages of my Web site but you can also ask for a specific part by description, system and (if you have it) part number.

PowerPC 5200, 5300, 5400, 5500 series

Apple produced a series of PowerPC systems with self-contained 15-inch color monitors and speakers, and with easily removed and replaced "logics". Their model numbers are the 5200 5300 5400 range, depending on options and processor type and speed.. Many of these were sold to schools. They used the 601 602 603 series of PowerMac processors, at speeds of 75MHz to 220MHz or more, and with various features. They became known as "all in one" systems because the monitor and speakers were one unit, not seperate like desktop or tower systems.

These processors were on easily removable logics/CPU cards and so these systems can be user-upgraded with 5200, 5300, 5400, 5500 logics from other "all in one" systems. With effort, owners of 5200, 5300 and 5400 Macs can use logics from the desktop (no monitor) 6200 and some 6300 series logics. You can also use CPU cards/logics/motherboards from the PowerMac 6400 and 6500 series systems, but without the dual PCI bus card adapter (because it is too tall).

The 5200, 5300 and 5400 series use IDE (not SCSI) drives internally, but they also support the standard Mac external SCSI port and a internal SCSI CD-ROM. Please refer to other Web sites for more information about these upgrades. Check our list of informative Mac Web sites or do a Web search to find those sites.

Because of the large size and weight of these systems, and minimal customer interest (at the prices previously listed), WE RARELY OFFER THESE AS COMPLETE SYSTEMS.

If you want parts for these systems I list some specifically on other pages of my Web site but you can also ask for a specific part by description, system and (if you have it) part number.

PowerMac 5500/225 system with video in/out. Good cosmetic condition. 225 Mhz 603ev PowerMac "all in one" system. Also has Avid brand SVideo and composite video in and out (PCI card and media card). Also Ethernet card in comm slot. 1.2GB IDE hard drive, CD-ROM drive and floppy. with 32MB of EDO memory (uses EDO only in 2 slots). Complete system as described, $XX plus shipping. (Warning: shipping the complete system at over 60 lbs will cost anywhere from $25 to $50 depending on your distance from New Jersey.) CPU/motherboard card plus Avid video, ethernet cards; $XX plus shipping. If you want the TV/Video cards seperately, check my parts section for prices, model numbers, and details.

Motherboards or CPU boards for the 5200, 5300, 5400 series: OUT, NONE AVAILABLE EXCEPT IN SYSTEMS ABOVE.

Extra memory for the 5200, 5300 series: 72 pin SIMM RAM: check memory section for prices.
Extra memory for the 5400 series: 168 pin 5V DIMM RAM: check memory section for prices.

Please review my Ordering, Terms and Conditions information before ordering.

Due to reduced demand we only have a few COMPLETE 6300 series systems in stock. But we'll have parts including CPUs or motherboards. If you want parts for these systems I list some specifically on other pages of my Web site but you can also ask for a specific part by description, system model and (if you have it) part number.

PowerMac 7100 systems

Very few of these left. But we have parts, and motherboards or CPU boards. The 7100 and 8100 have an A/V video card slot for a specialized video card; there is also an AVI video connector for video from the motherboard. Details below. If you want parts for these systems I list some specifically on other pages of my Web site but you can also ask for a specific part by description, system and (if you have it) part number.

The PowerMac 7100/80AV or 7100/66AV is a 7100 with an A/V card model 820-0150-A which has DB-15 and SVideo connectors on it. We offer video cards seperately as described below.

Power supplies for the 7100 are listed in that section of my parts page.

video cards: For info and prices on the video slot cards for this system, check my video section. For info on the A/V connector on this Mac, check this link. We have some of the AVI to DB-15 adapters for sale on this page.

memory: 7100 systems use 72-pin DRAM in pairs, and have a cache memory slot. See the memory section for prices.

PowerMac 8100 series: PowerPC 601 at 80MHz or more

We no longer carry these as systems, we have the motherboards, pulled working from other 8100 systems. Of course we have parts, from power supplies to hard drives to memory. Check here for links to parts pages. Note: typically the 8100/8500/9500 CD-ROM "cover" bezel becomes broken. We've stocked some of these covers to repair the systems we offer.

The 8100 "/av" systems use an Apple A/V card 820-0150-A which has SVideo connectors on it. We have these cards available, they can be added to a non-/av system. Check my video section for specifics.

The 8100 uses EIGHT 72-pin DRAMs, check memory section for prices.
note: The 8100 systems use Apple's "high-density" A/V video connector for video from the motherboard; Apple made an adapter cable to use standard Mac monitors. For info on the A/V connector on this Mac, check this link. Check our cables section for prices for these adapters.
