There is a secret project I am soon going to start. However, before I start it, I must know the following: where can I buy a beige G3 motherboard (the ones with the 66MHz bus speed)? What voltage requirement does it have? How large is it (length and width)? Any help would be appreciated!

jeezus nate... Secret project... I'm left speechless... oh well... You can get one from Sun Remarketing, along with pretty much any other apple part at www.sunrem.com, as for the specification stuffs check the tech info library, til.info.apple.com... This all seems supiciously to me like you're planning to try to put a G3's motherboard into an ATX case...

Does it count as flamebait if i know the poster?

I'm not going to put a G3 in an ATX case, Emunix, you crazy Canadian IRC-lover. It's much more diabolical than that. And don't ask me about it in #ev, either!

Expensive...... I'd rather have a new Indigo.

I got a Yikes! motherboard for $300

It measures 25x30 cm

Yes, where did you get a G4 Motherboard!?!?

People aren't as dumb as you think. Wait, what was I thinking, 90% of the world uses WINDOWS!
You don't like Macs? Good, more for me.

The "Yikes!" MB is not a real G4, its the same as a B/W G3 but it lacks an ADB port. (ZIF, PCI)

Anyway a guy sold it to me.

Now I'll have to make some use of it......
