I am interested in setting up a host-only computer since I no longer use OS X on my other machines (one is Lombard and would be terrible to run OS X on, and the other is used for a lot of audio work).

Any cheap G3 will do, something with a 3-6 GB drive would be great and obviously the CD-ROM has to work. Just so long as it can run OS X or OS X server it will do.

Thanks in advance!

I've got a B&W G3/400 that I'm interest in selling. Here are the specs:
Stock B&W G3 @ 400 MHZ
Rev. 2 Motherboard (no ATA chip problems for 2nd drive)
512 MB ram (1 ram slot open)
6 GB HD
20 GB 7200 RPM HD
DVD-Rom
ZIP 100 MB internal
Rage 128 video card
2 FireWire ports
2 USB ports
1 ADB port
56K modem
with keyboard and mouse
It's got OS X 10.1.3 and OS 9.2 running on the 20 GB drive with the 6 GB as storage.

I'd want $650 plus shipping.

incidentally, the lombard is ok to run OS X on.
If this post is in the Lounge forum, it is likely to be my own opinion, and not representative of the position of MacNN.com.

Yeah, I realize that but since it is my portable I cannot HOST on it. All I need is something to host with. I'd be interested in the AIO if it weren't such a monstrous computer, and I really don't need a monitor as I'll have a switch to use this current monitor with the host machine.

Thanks for the offer, though. Still looking....

I've got an overclocked 233MHz Beige that I'd take $350 for. I'll throw in 2 DEC Tulip chipped NIC cards (OS X 1.x and 10.x compatible).
