I got an old iMac 133 sitting here with OS 8.6 and I wanted to know what my restore options would be as I don't have ANY CD or support laying around.. Can I get restore CDs off ebay? If so what'll work? Can I put OSX in it or what are my best options here?

OSX will work ... just don't plan on using iMovie
iTunes will work, but not with an iPod, as there's no FW or USB2.
I would recomend putting OSX on it rather than 8 or 9. But you will NEED to have more ram than it shipped with ... 256 total would be a BARE MINIMUM ... I'd put in 2x256.
As for origional restore CD's, eBay is probably your best bet.
Edit: Er, right. When I say OS9, I mean anything under 10. 8.6 is fine.
