My dad noticed this in an attic he was cleaning out at his old workplace. He called me and asked if it was worth anything to me, of course I said yes so he grabbed it and I just got it tonight. It had been sitting there for maybe 6 years. It would have been tossed out with the rest of the garbage.

Needs some TLC, obviously, but overall in decent shape and the extended keyboard is nice since I didn't have one. Then I turned it on...

Aw yeah, 400Mhz G3 upgrade! Also has a 2xUSB card installed, so this has become my fastest PowerPC when I expected a clunker! Now to get a fresh OS9 install and some more RAM.

Hey, not bad! I love the 7300s, I've had several and they have all served me well. My games 7300 has a G3/500, a Rage Orion and an OrangePC 620 with a K6-III 400MHz CPU for those pesky Windows titles. I'm going to load it up to a full GB of RAM when I get around to it.
