Mac Performa 630CD, woot

[silencewordsaway]

My family's old computer (and first, back in '95) was a Macintosh Performa 630CD. Well no one has used it for years except for one time i was at my parents' house and busted it out to play Castles II Siege and Conquest, at which time i also upgraded the OS to the latest version of System 7.5. Anyway, I was hoping to find a good home for it since it has sentimental value and i hate to see anything go way of the trash. If i had my own space and time for it i surely could find a use for it, but my life is transitory for now, and who knows for how long.

So, is there any interest out there for this computer? Should I be able to find anyone interested in taking it off my hands who would take care of it/use it? What would be the best route to finding someone for this? Any thoughts or suggestions?

I would post a pic except the computer is at my parents' house. The computer itself has upgraded RAM, 96 Megs. I bought an ethernet card for it off ebay but never got the computer networked, either because i had no idea how to set it up or possibly the card is broken, but i think that would be weird.

I also have: a Stylewriter II printer for it, a 28.8 and a 56K modem, monitor, keyboard, mouse, a couple games and programs either on the computer or on cd, worth noting is the aforementioned Castles II, a couple disks of a bunch of games (free and shareware and demos), not exactly sure what else or if that is it...

hope to hear from someone 'round here!

LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY! I love the all in one Performas (and also the first iMacs).

Welcome to the forum!  That Performa sounds pretty cool.  I usually accept donations of old computer hardware, which you can read about here:

I'd love to adopt your Performa, although I'm not sure I can afford to pay shipping on any computers right now.  Somebody out there should be interested.

oh cool! Thanks for the responses! i am happy to hear that people are into this computer as much as i am! now i just need to figure out the best way to hook up with someone (hopefully in MA) who would want it. Shipping it would obviously be a huuuge pain.

on the topic of the performas, anyone see some of the old commercials on the internet? they're a real trip.
