If it's a slot loading machine, it has two firewire ports.

History: Announced in October 1999, The iMac (Slot Loading) was the low end of a new "good, better, best" iMac product strategy from Apple. The iMac SL built on the success of the rev. D iMacs, adding a faster processor, more RAM (64 MB base), a better graphics sub-system, an improved speaker system, and a slot-loading CD-ROM drive. With all these new features, the iMac SL was still $200 cheaper than predecessor. At $999 U.S., the blueberry-only iMac SL was the cheapest Apple-branded machine in many years.

that does support tiger right? .. How much is something like that worth? I could probably get it for 150-200
 
For tinkering and experimenting with, it would be decent.

For daily use, it would be a tad on the slow side.

$150 isn't a bad price for that machine -- I've seen lower, and I've seen higher. I would buy it for that, just for nostalgic purposes and for tinkering with. I wouldn't buy it to use daily as my main machine, though. You can upgrade the RAM and the hard drive, but that's about it -- for other upgrades, you're stuck with FireWire or USB 1.1 peripherals.
