I've finally gotten around to putting the ol' iMac G3 back together - Still without a functional CD drive or an OSX install, but I couldn't stand seeing it lying flat with its guts exposed any longer lmao

I think I could use XPostFacto to install OSX directly to a partition from a usb key in MacOS 9 - Really want to get 10 or 10.1 in there, as early aqua really fits the translucent plastic aesthetic.

The LTT screwdriver is probably slightly overpriced for most people, but as far as vanity purchases go, I'm at least pretty glad to have a ratcheting driver with a killer magnet now. 🎉
Certainly made screwing the drive bay back in this darn thing wayyy easier
