OK, I need a desktop machine of some sort. I'd prefer an AGP-equipped G4 and I'd prefer a complete system. I've got right at $400 in the PayPal account so you'd have to be willing to go $400 shipped. I'd *like* Quartz Extreme and enough memory to run OS X, but it's not necessary, depends on the offer.

How about a 400mhz Power mac G3?

For $400? If not, you'll need to give some more specifics and an asking price. I could get a B&W from Daystar with a 500MHz G4 from Daystar for $350.

400 mhz G3
9 gig 10k RPM ultra SCSI hard drive
CD-ROM
512 ram
ATI Rage Pro 128 (16 v-ram)

How much do you want to pay?

I have a B&W G3, somebody offered me $120 shipped for it, if you want to match that or go a little lower, I can give you specs tomorrow.

Would you be interested in my beige G3:

300 MHz G3 (OC-able to 330, I believe)
128 MB RAM
6 GB HD
16MB ATI 128 VGA Graphics (From original 2MB - can be returned to original so you can install a 32MB or 64MB card if you want to XPostFacto Tiger)
CD-ROM
Zip 100 Drive
Floppy (only works under 9.x)
10.2 and 10.3.9 (using XPF) (10.4 can be installed under XPostFacto as well)

ADB Keyboard and Mouse included. Would like around $90, if possible?

are the B&W's Rev2's or Rev1's?

Doucy2 if you want to yank the CPU (but ship the heat sink) and a GB of the memory (so it'd ship with 512; I have a 400MHz CPU of my own for a sawtooth, but need a heat sink) we might be able to make a deal.

I said the same thing and the guy told me that with the Mini being 1.25 for $500 with a 1year warranty, he couldn't see asking that much for something that's at beast 1.067GHz.
