So for years I've been looking for a Workgroup Server 9650/350 they never come up for sale, I doubt there are many left. I finally found one locally (bought a lot of 5 PowerMacs and G3s to get it). So once I got it home I decided it was time to make it the computer I really wanted when it was new

So heres what I did to it:

12 Brand new (all matching) 128mb memory sticks (Thats a TOTAL OF 1.5GB RAM IN A PRE-G3!!)

1 ZIP drive upgrade kit

1 2gb Jazz Drive upgrade (this was quite hard to find - just as hard as the computer)

1 24x CD-ROM (Someone had a 12x in it for some reason)

1 Heavy Duty AVID Cooling fan

1 10/100/1000 Ethernet card

1 WiFi Base to allow this computer to be "semi-WiFi"

1 Sonnet USB/FireWire 400 Card

1 ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 256MB DDR PCI DVI/VGA Video Card w/TV-Out (for OS 9 US only)

1 16mb Video card VGA/Mac Monitor port

1 SCSI Ultra Highspeed SCSI Card (for internal and external drives - fastest one for Mac OS 9)

1 PC Compability Card (w/ cable) with a 166mhz PC on a full size PCI card

1 And of course one new pram battery (not maxell)

I wanted a super fast PPC Mac that wasn't a G3. Truth be told I have $650 into this machine, sounds crazy doesn't it? Well you try to find everything :lol:

If anyone has ideas to upgrade it more I am always open :beige:
