So my friend offered me some gear:

an 8600 which I stripped. I took the RAM (8x64MB sticks), the VRAM, CPU (Sonnet 400MHz G3 512k Cache), AV Module, PRAM battery and some bezels for my G3MT.

I also scored a PM6500/275 with 128MB RAM and a 400MHz Sonnett G3 CPU Upgrade with 512k of Cache.

The 8600 parts will find new homes in my 8500 of Doom.

The 6500 will replace the one I sent to Orion a while back which was apparently painted blue at some point in time.

I also picked up an external USB / Firewire burner with an 8x CD-RW in it. I am going to crack it open and see if it is IDE or SCSI. It's a Yamaha drive.

Got another ADB Extended KB II and teardrop mouse. I love these!

Passed on a 15xxAV monitor. I will never use a CRT again.

Passed a 20" SUN Monitor with the 13W3 connector. The thing is a beast and it's close to 80lbs. Not going home with me.
