I just picked up a B&W machine from a friend.
Price: $0
Specs:
300MHz G3
16MB Rage 128
60GB (dead) HD
CD-ROM
Ethernet / Modem / Firewire USB
1024MB RAM (2 of the 256mb sticks show as 128 giving a total of 768MB)
Upgrades performed:
Powerlogix 500MHz G3 @ 550MHz
Sonnet ATA/100 Card + new IBM 60GB HD
Rage Orion 32MB PCI Card
USB 2.0 Card (doesn't seem to work, damn you Fry's)
It is currently running Panther right now until I can figure out how to get Tiger on it. For it's specs and age and I quite surprised by how nicely my apps work and how quick the machine is. I don't plan on putting any money into the machine as all the upgrade parts I already had and I am saving for a Macbook Pro.
