The Quadra 700 isn't a bad choice if you add an accelerator card. It's the same size as the IIcx/IIci and has the benefit of being able to be used as a minitower or as a desktop (d…

Well I am going to pick up this 22" CRT as soon as I find the time. It will be a perfect compliment to the Power Mac G3 :beige:

I call it the "Original Apple Mouse".
