Was out of town for work yesterday and on my way home I decided to stop into a local thrift store to have a poke around, and what do you do know, there was a cube sitting all alone on a shelf! It had a sticker saying it was untested and had no cables, and a search of the adjacent cable bins for a PSU turned up empty. Seeing at it was just $50 and in great physical condition, I decided to go ahead and nab it anyway. Initial impression: this thing is heavy!
Got home and popped the case, did a more thorough inspection and dust-out. It's the lower end model with the G4/450, 20GB HDD, and Rage128 pro. Previous user added two 256MB sticks on top of the original 64. I pulled the HDD and popped it in my QS and it's in bad shape - incredibly loud and very, very, slow, so I'll be replacing it. The original drive is readable - though unfortunately all of the original content is gone and has been replaced with an empty tiger install.
I ordered a PSU that will hopefully be in in a week or so - looking forward to playing with this thing!
