Quadra 800

Quadra 800
This was actually the first mac model I ever purchased. I paid $20 for my first one.

Here it is, in all its beige glory.  This was the first mac I ever paid money for, a Quadra 800.  My original example hit dust bin about 20 years ago, after the power supply went out.  These are photos of the second example I got off ebay around 2019.  I eventually sold this unit on, to a memeber of Low End Mac.  

These are real workhorses.  This one came with not one, but to graphics cards.  One for capture, and one for display.  These Macs also had built in graphics, which were faster than what was avaible in NUBUS cards at the time.  Simple MacOS of the time, meant each grapics/display card added meant you could an another display.  So this badboy could have 4 monitors, if you had enogh cards.
