I am going to turn my old Blue G3 into a drive tower. This means I need to rip out ALL of the guts except for the power supply. If you need any parts, reply or email me (please no PMs I never get them) what you want. Here are the specs:

Newer motherboard that doesn't have IDE bus problems
350 Mhz G4 (ZIF)
256 MB of RAM (128 x 2)
No Hard Drive
56K Modem
Optical Drive with stripped gears
All of the internals are there, all the various cables and fans, connectors, buttons etc.

Interested in the motherboard and modem. You didn't list your email address. PM with it when you get a chance.

How much do you want for the G4 ZIF, I am quite interested. (Is it really a G4 too?, cool!)

Alright then, sorry just looking for a G4. My G3/450 isn't terrible, but it could use a boost for avi's

Thanks,

I have another one of these G3's that does have a 450 Mhz G4 upgrade (that you can't have), the G4 does give videos a HUGE boost. Anyway, I've had many people make claims on parts in this machine, but nobody has shown me the money yet so at this point everything is still available.

Hey, I've still got all of this computer's guts. I started working on the case so I carefully took everything apart and put it in a box. Despite the interest, no one has actually stepped up and bought anything yet, so I still have it ALL right now. PM me if you want something.

What do you want for the modem out of that machine, along with the G4 processors

Its a G3 350 MHz, you can have got $10 plus shipping. There is no modem in this particular machine, I thought there was but I was mistaken.
