Didnt know whether to include the NewWorlds. :) As far as they go, I've got...

G3 B+W Rev.1 with Sonnet G4 patch and stock Yikes G4/350 CPU

G3 B+W Rev.2 450, 1Gb RAM 2x40Gb HDD, DVD-RW... blah blah. Originally started life as a stock Rev.1 300 when I first bought it, then I bought the Rev.2 board, graphics card and CPU later on after I learned of the corruption issues.

G4 Yikes with Encore G4/500 ZIF upgrade, 1Gb RAM, 2x40Gb HDD's, DVD-RW, added FW card... and a blown speaker output cos *some* idiot shorted the wires when messing with a speaker upgrade.

I also had another G3 which was built from the leftover Rev.1 parts of my first one and the case and other parts of a dead G3 I picked up for $20 at a computer market. Put it together, cleaned it up, and sold it for $250... lol and to think nowadays theyre only worth $20 in working order. :lol:

Dead G3, my other vintage Mac is an LC II, soon to be an LC III with a Mobo swap.

Anyone have a Beige G3 Zif and heatsink w/ clip they want to trade and/or sell for? I have an ISA Video capture suite I just picked up. Need to test it when I get back from California in a week.

I have a couple of processors but ill have to look for a heat sink, the B&W sink should be th same.

The B&W heat sink is a bit higher. Might be a problem in a beige desktop but if so it'd be easy enough to snip a bit off the fins

I have:

  • Power Mac 7500 (stock with upgraded RAM, gift)
  • Beige G3 MT (upgraded RAM and HDD, bought used)
  • Power Mac 6100 (haven't touched it yet)


All my other Power Macs are New World, so I won't mention them here.

IIRC there are two different heatsinks used in the B+W... mine was originally a 300mhz Rev.1 and it had heatsink thaat wasnt as tall as the one that came with the replacement Rev.2 board and 450mhz CPU or the Rev. 2 400mhz I used to have as well. :)
