Score: 8600 Parts and a 6500 + goodies!

[Temetka]

So my friend offered me some gear:

an 8600 which I stripped. I took the RAM (8x64MB sticks), the VRAM, CPU (Sonnet 400MHz G3 512k Cache), AV Module, PRAM battery and some bezels for my G3MT.

I also scored a PM6500/275 with 128MB RAM and a 400MHz Sonnett G3 CPU Upgrade with 512k of Cache.

The 8600 parts will find new homes in my 8500 of Doom.

The 6500 will replace the one I sent to Orion a while back which was apparently painted blue at some point in time.

I also picked up an external USB / Firewire burner with an 8x CD-RW in it. I am going to crack it open and see if it is IDE or SCSI. It's a Yamaha drive.

Got another ADB Extended KB II and teardrop mouse. I love these!

Passed on a 15xxAV monitor. I will never use a CRT again.

Passed a 20" SUN Monitor with the 13W3 connector. The thing is a beast and it's close to 80lbs. Not going home with me.

I think you'd be better to use the 8600 case instead of the 8500. Accessibility is much easier.

I have two of those Sun monitors and they are nice. they are Sony Trinitron inside.

Actually I picked up the case and moved all of my 8*00 hardware into it. This morning I reloaded OS 9 and watched a few music videos. This is quite the machine.

Specs:

400MHz G3 w 1MB L2 Cache

ATI Rage Nexus (32MB Rage128)

Sonnett ATA/100 Card

24x IDE CD-ROM

IBM 60GB 7200RPM HD

576MB of RAM <-- I need to recheck this as it should be 512MB and interleaved.

Dell 17" LCD.

Sprightly machine and it is actually quieter than my 8500 with its loose case plastics and failing PSU fan.
