Hello,

Up for your consideration here is a blue and white PowerMac G3 450MHz, with a Yikes! (G4 PCI Graphics) motherboard (only real difference is that the minimum OS version is bumped up a bit from the G3 systems, and that there is no ADB port on the motherboard)

- 450MHz G3
- 256 MB of memory
- 20 GB hard disc
- CDROM drive
- Zip100 drive
- 4-port Belkin USB2 card
- no modem or adb port

I will be including a USB mouse, but not a keyboard.

I do not have a copy of Mac OS for this machine, I will leave the drive with a fresh installation of 9.0 and will include a Ubuntu linux for PPC installation disc. I will also include the retail box and everything that shipped inside said box except the disc, which was lost with the sands of time. I do have a backup copy of the disc, I will read the software license agreement and see how legal it is for me to include this.

Also, Apple makes a copy of OS9 available on their website in the form of the NetBoot for Mac OS X 10.3 installer file, I have this and can extract the copy of OS9 from that if necessary.

I can also include a zip100 boot disc, since I was never able to make a bootable backup of the OS9 disc.

I am asking $125 for this, but I will take offers.

Thanks in advance.

My eBay ID is Cory5412. My feedback rating is 6 I believe, all positive.

It's got the stock ATi Rage128.

Just as a warning, I took the top-rear handle off. When I bought it, the handle broke in shipping. I still have the two parts of the handle. I will post the pictures online tomorrow.

I may be interested in a trade for your rig.

Sadly, I'm not interested in a trade right now, thank you though.

I'll try the photos again shortly - I've got another camera with which to try it, and I guess, if it is absolutely necessary, I can use flash, or get a nice portrait of it outside sometime this weekend.

Thank you for your patience.

Other than the cracked upper-rear handle, and a few missing labels that you may have noticed, the machine is in what I'd consider to be excellent quality.
