I got a 7300 from a local ad today. Case was a little beaten up, the tabs to push on to slide the cover off were completely gone, so the case no longer locks closed. I had to reattach the rubber feet and glew the case prop open black stick thing together. However to my delight it had the following innards:

200Mhz 604e

256KB cache module

288MB ram

9GB IBM scsi drive

CDRW drive

Adaptec scsi narrow card, didn't look closer at the chipset yet

Mac to VGA adapter was attached, however I used a mac monitor

Clean install of OS 9.0.4

All this for only $10.00, now that is cool.

Not bad at all. Those were good machines. Now if you can find a G3 upgrade card it'd just fly.

Nice machine. I have a G4 card in mine. Love the case design.
