PowerMac 8600 with Sonnet Crescendo G4 Accelerator

[biergoat]

Hello, I have a Power Mac 8600/300 with a Sonnet 500mhz G4 PCI upgrade and the original 604 300mhz processor board. Thinking of selling this as a bundle and also wondering if it would be more valuable to part it out, selling the Sonnet board separately. Here is the cut sheet on the G4 board:

Everything works, the 8600 is running OS9.1 and also has OS8 install files on it, thoughts on value? Thanks for any insight,
Jeff

I think, due to shipping, you should sell the G4 on it's own. You will have more interest in it. If you do wanna sell it, make sure you get some ESD bags for it and package it as well as you can.

Our machines sadly are worth way more in pieces these days.
Sonnet G4 - 250 plus
Floppy bezel - 45
Cd bezel - 45
Zip bezel -35
64mb memory pair - 50 each
128mb memory pair -80 each
Motherboard -75 - 100
Psu - 50

Whole machine as a unit $100-200 not parted out… forgot to mention the drives and pci cards but you get the idea.
