Great point about the G3 on the side, not that it'll ever show. I've got a G4 card for one of my Rainbow Boxen (or the PEx board if that ever achieves bootable status) so I think I'll leave te B&W stock when I get one. This is more of a toy for playtime that'll round out what I feel is the best case design Apple ever released.
The Sonnet Crescendo G3 in a 6360 got me through the entire G3 era without buying one from Apple just like my Radius Rocket Pre-Dated the Quadras and got the IIx through the 68040 era and to the 6360 refurb.
I think I like hacking old Macs so much because I almost always had to run older machines bought with the plan to upgrade them with an accelerator. That was easy for me to get away with because I never really did Pixels, just Object Oriented Graphics to feed the CAD-CAM beast. A fast CPU doesn't really need the faster I/O subsystems necessary for PhotoShop when running Fontographer or Illustrator.
