Hey everyone just found a Power Macintosh 8100/110 on the curb in NYC. It has a MaCally Keyboard and a Kensington Mouse. Tons of upgrades towards the rear. Looks like it was a video system. There was this rack mountable Video serve something or other that I did not take because my Mom was already fuming at everything I was taking. On the curb where also not 1 but 2 Dual HD Scsi Enclosure labeled "ProMax" One has a door in the front and it contains Dual Seagate Barracudas, and the other you can open but it does not have a door. Both have two Scsi number dials on the back. I'm not going to power on the machine because there was a rain storm today, and hopefully the machine did not get affected. I'll leave it un powered for 2 days. I tested both the HD enclosures and they seem to work. Both drives spin up on both of them. The 8100/110 has minimal yellowing only on the plastics on the front and back. But I opened it up and $%@! How do you do anything in there?! Has a huge (in physical size) HD and CD-ROM and Floppy disk. Saved it from the curb. Awesome.

Great find! The 8100 is a nice little machine, but yeah, you're right, the inside is a maze. It is sealed relatively well against random water droplets, so there probably isn't much if any water damage inside the case. Still, you're right to let it sit and dry out for a while first.
Be sure to post back when you power it up!
Peace,
