Apple iMac G3 Indigo Early 2001The Apple iMac G3/400 (Early 2001 - Indigo) -- for all intents and purposes a re-issue of the "Indigo" configuration of the iMac G3/400 DV (Summer 2000 - Indigo/Ruby) -- features a 400 MHz PowerPC 750 (G3) processor, 512k backside level 2 cache, 64 MB of RAM, a 10.0 GB Ultra ATA hard drive, a slot loading 24X CD-ROM drive, ATI Rage 128 Pro (AGP 2X) graphics with 8 MB of VRAM, a Harmon-Kardon designed sound system, and Firewire "400" ports packed into a translucent "indigo" all-in-one case design with a 15-inch CRT display.

This model sold for US$899, however, US$100 less than the iMac G3/400 DV (Summer 2000 - Indigo/Ruby).
