For sale, two lots, or buy both lots for $500.

1: Rev 1 Blue & White G3 300 upgraded to have the following:
OWC Mercury G4/500MHz
384MB PC100 RAM (3x128)
Radeon 9100 (PC card, flashed with October ROM update) 64MB PCI
2x10 GB hard drives
6x DVD-ROM
I don't have a keyboard or mouse for it, because the Mac I replaced it with didn't come with them, either. The PRAM battery is brand new as of last week. It'll come with OS9.2.2 on the primary and OS X 10.3.7. I still have the original CPU and video card (Rage128) that I'll include in case you want them. I'll get pictures when I get home in ~2 hours. Asking $375

2: nearly-new Sonnet G4 Encore/ST G4 1GHz. I've been using it about 10 days, but I've decided I'd rather have either a dually or a faster single CPU. Still have box and manual. Asking $190.

Buying them both saves $65. All prices shipped via USPS parcel post. If you want to get it faster, I'll just ask that you pay the difference. Thanks for looking!

edit: I can accept payment by PayPal or money order. Personal checks would have to wait to clear first, and those are such a drag. I'm somewhat willing to negotiate on the B&W, Sonnet G4 price is firm, and rather attractive given the retail sale price of those things.

Is the Sonnet a ZIF?

No, the Sonnet is for G4 AGP systems, like the Gig-E, Digital Audio, Quicksilver 2001 edition, and the Sawtooth. It's not certified to work with the Cube though, only the 800 and the 1.2 are officially supported on the Cube.

If it was a ZIF I'd stick it in the B&W and probably set the OWC aside and forget what I did with it...

omar, would you be willing to let the card go for $190 shipped or would would you want the buyer to pay for shipping? Also, do you have any references?

My prices are shipped, I should have said.

As far as references go, I'm a well-established trader at The Tech Report, though my name there is derFunkenstein. You can register there and PM me and I'll tell you the same. I have heatware but nobody's actually left me any feedback.

I have dropped the price on the system a little bit. In retrospect, I think I was asking too much at the original 425. Here's how I arrived at the current price:

B&W G3 system, brand new mobo: $185
extra 256MB RAM: $40
Extra 10GB HDD: $10
Radeon 9100 card: $40
CPU upgrade: $100
Total: $375

This lot is cross-posted here

Prices are shipped within the continental US. I feel it's priced to move, though it really hasn't yet.

Pictures are a little late...BUT...here we go:

As you can see, the system is in great cosmetic shape:

It works! I took a picture of the About screen:

The Sonnet is sold (pending) to JediNinjaWizards on the techreport.com forums.

The full system with the G4 500 is still up for grabs though, so don't let it slip away!

i would be interested. Does the upgrade work good in this machine.
I have a B&w300 and was thinking of upping it.
I need to get better vid and a card for hard drive because of rev 1 machine write errors
Have a great day!

sale of the G4/500 system pending to danazar at the techreport.com forums

Muttley Mac, the upgrade works very well in the B&W, yes. If the sale falls through, I'll let you know.
