All of them came with disks and dox.
Also got 3 floppy disks, a zip disk, a USB FDD, and 9 DVI…
The fan should not be loud. It sounds like the fan has become un-lubricated.
The same thing happens to Power Macintosh 6500 CPU fans, and the really small fans on certain ATI Vide…

this model did have a dvd drive, it is written on the bottom of the computer and on the drive itself. i tried to put an OS9 cd in it, but it still did not work.

I received an external Firewire drive with mine, unfortunately it's a CD, not DVD. You used to be able to get Tiger on CDROM, the gig was you bought the DVD then returned it for CD…

400mhz, 64mb, 6gb hardrive, os10.0.3- $50!
it still has a working battery that is supposed to hold almost 3hrs! i already upped the ram to 1gb, and it will get Tiger later tonight…

I still have my BeigeG3MT and I will have it for many years to come as far I know right now.
