I did some research and it turns out I have an early 2001 Imac indigo.
My mom told me it may be worth money, but from what I'm seeing it could go for $100 if its in one of the rare colors for this model.
Can someone tell me an estimate of how much it could go for? I'll give you the specs.

Display: 1024 x 768
Slotloading CD drive
Color: indigo
CPU: 400 mhz
ram: 64mb
Virtualmemory: 65mb
OS: Mac OS 9
Keyboard: Original
Mouse: Orginal
Overall condition: Great, just needs a new ram card.

the reason I'm asking is because I'm not sure if it could be worth alot now or more in the future and I want to know if I should do an entire overhaul on the hardware based on its value.

$80-100 sounds about right.

Thanks, is it worth upgrading everyrthing and keep the original parts, or should I keep it in good condition and wait a few years when its worth more then sell it?
I'm also going to make a OS 9 install disk :P

Wait another 10 years and you can ask for 10x the price. ;)

I think that violates a few clauses in the EULA, and it probably won't be of any use unless you make periodic ones -- effectively a backup of the drive.

Well this needs a good cleanup, you know, since it used to be a teacher's computer and its really cluttered.

Is this an iMac G3? Indigo was not one of the rare colors. The iMac G3 is nothing to got excited about. You could get $20 to $25 for it.
