The Apple iMac G3/400 DV Special Edition (Slot Loading), based on the Kihei architecture, features a 400 MHz PowerPC 750 (G3) processor, 512k backside level 2 cache, 128 MB of RAM, a 13.0 GB Ultra ATA hard drive, a slot loading 4X DVD-ROM drive, ATI Rage 128 VR 2D/3D (AGP 2X) graphics with 8 MB of VRAM, and a Harmon-Kardon designed sound system packed into a translucent "graphite and ice" all-in-one case design with a 15-inch CRT display.

Unlike previous iMac models, the iMac "Slot Loading" series is convection cooled for quieter operation and lacks the internal metal housing for a more translucent appearance.

The iMac G3/400 DV Special Edition (Slot Loading) is effectively identical to the  iMac G3/400 DV (Slot Loading - Fruit Colors) released at the same time, but the "Special Edition" model is housed in a more conservative "graphite" colored case -- rather than five "fruit colors" -- and shipped standard with more RAM (128 MB) and a larger hard drive (13.0 GB).

Like the iMac G3/400 DV (Slot Loading - Fruit Colors), the "Special Edition" model has a slot loading DVD-ROM drive -- as one would expect given the informal name of the series -- as well as dual Firewire "400" ports, a VGA video out port, and support for an optional AirPort (802.11b) wireless card. It also shares a system bus, RAM standard (PC100), hard drive standard (Ultra ATA), video processor, and sound system all superior to the  iMac G3/333 (Fruit Colors) series that the "Slot Loading" models replaced.
