The Apple Power Macintosh 8115/110, based on the Cold Fusion architecture, features a 110 MHz PowerPC 601 processor, 16 MB of RAM, a 2 GB hard drive, and a 2X CD-ROM drive in the same expandable tower case design introduced by the Quadra 800.

This model is identical to the Power Macintosh 8100/110, but was sold in Europe and Asia but not in North America. The server version -- the WGS 8150/110 -- was sold worldwide, however.
