Thats **almost** exactly what I'm looking for.

Issue is, I need Airport.
Is that a user upgradable option? Buy the card and pop it in, or is in soldered onto the mobo in a nasty way.
Price seems a bit steep ... I thought these things were in and around $300 ... does the OC really bump the price that much?

I know the G4's around going for much around these forums, but that's because we tend to be a bit more realistic about the value of things around here :). I see the 1.42Ghz ones runnin' around $400+ on eBay all the time, so I think this is a nice enough package to get somewhere near there. It's all in the marketing, of course.

Airport and BT can be installed together on this, it's a simple card you plug in, I believe. It used to be found on the Apple Store, and they sometimes pop up on eBay, but you have to get the Mini-specific one to make them fit.

I'll get some screenshots of the "About this Mac" screen once I get it hooked back up to a monitor. It's got all the original boxes (which are a bit dirty, and have some dents and whatnot - I mean come on, they're boxes), and a wireless USB dongle that worked fine under Tiger with the driver. It has a little extension cord for it, too.

Not meant to hijack your thread (and may help sell).. I have the mezzanine board, antenna and BT board for a G4, 1.25/1.42 Mini.

Thanks for that, it's very easy to install, too, if anyone is interested. I am including a D-Link USB wireless dongle with the Mini that I used just fine under Tiger, but something internal could be nicer.

I'm currently asking $400 shipped in the US for this, if anyone here is interested. Thanks!

Price dropped to $400 shipped for the package.

I will consider parting it out, and selling the Mini by itself if anyone is interested. I would want around $325+shipping for it.

The Mini has been (re)listed on eBay with a starting bid of $349.99. If anyone cares!

Also, if you want JUST the Mini and wireless dongle, but not the keyboard and mouse, let me know - and I'll throw in free shipping.
