Eww. Mainly I'm not confident enough skill to do that. The G4 into 9600 case consists of modifications that aren't externally visible/don't impact the plastic skin.

True enough on the bus/wear issue. Another thought regarding putting the 9600 mobo in a G4 case... Seems counter productive to block PCI slots of a design where one of the biggest pros is the PCI expansion.

Thanks, everyone for the advice! I had originally thought about putting the 350mhz card into one of the 300s, generally assuming the 300 would have taxed the motherboard (neglibly) less. I will take a look at part numbers, just so I know what I have but I'll be leaving the 350 on the board it...

Thanks guys. I'm now on the hunt for PS 7.0.1 for Mac!

Correct! Once I get it working it'll be hopefully used for photoshop and some classic gaming. I haven't actually decided what version of MacOS I want to run as my primary... I haven't used OS 9 or earlier in about a decade. I've been on OS X beta and up since I could on my beige G3 desktop...

I've seen photoshop 5.5 available with media but is this the best version for Ppc with my setup?

Yeah. And back in the day, the floppies got the most action.

Thanks.  Now to get a keyboard/mouse (possibly get a friend to ship it from storage back home), vga adapter, and see if there's either an OS on the two 4GB drives or see if I still have any MacOS media.

The last 300 is just the case, mobo and processor card.  I'm tempted to move the 350MHz stuff over to this board; my thinking is this: the 300MHz model's board might have been taxed less than the 350s?  Which would mean that one of the 300s might last a little longer than the board the 350...

I agree, Falcon. When I started this adventure, in the back of my head I was envisioning the conversation from Road Warrior "It's the last of the Mach Vs!" "Where'd ya get it?!" "Oh, you know, a piece here, a piece there!" Granted, that was when I was hoping these were pristine refurb cases...

I will keep you in mind, CC.  I haven't looked too much for standard CPUs as I really really want to find a top end G3/G4 card.  But the best I've been able to find so far is 500MHz.  I would kill for a 1GHz card and will settle for one of the 700/800s.  But that's after my adventures in...

So today I started to tear down the first 9600/300, from here on referred to as M17 (for the post-it note on the front with this name, lol).  Intent was to inventory what all it had, and remove the plastics so I can experiment with restoring the yellowed plastics.  While disassembling, I found...

Yep. I looked to see if any were listed under 8600 and beige G3 but no luck. Other than a Daystar Genesis, these towers are my favorite.

In the past, I have bought something and then returned to find out that it was out of stock when I wanted more.  Considering the scarcity of these and the chance that they were NOS parts, I wasn't willing to risk it.  I figured at the very least, someone on these forums with either a PEx or 9600...

Next one up is the best of the bunch.  The pic that I snagged and uploaded doesn't show the model plate so here it is: 9600 350MHz!!!!!!! Hoping that my luck will continue I popped the side cover off.  Sadly, the plastic around the bondi blue latch button is cracked.  But as I opened this...

<Continuing...> These four boxes were in my front hall when I got home, along with a scowl from my Everything. I had a four hour turnaround before I had to work another shift, but when I got home I moved everything into the garage and began opening the boxes, one at a time in order to...

Some of you may have seen my WTB inquiries for a top end 9600 and Daystar Genesis this last week or so... Well, as I began reading and searching for a machine, including several feelers on here... I got it into my head that maybe I would scratch build from components a 9600/350. What made this...

Owe! I like your style... Nothing says friendship like a good err... bit of violence... Because vocal greetings just don't have the same pinache and hugs n such tend to get you slapped with harassment charges :)

I work at a community college. All the G4s were replaced by brand new Mac Pros for the design/publishing lab. The others were just units from around the college, things like the PR department, etc. These computers were just a fraction of what they got rid of but none of the wintel machines...

Hello all, I figured I'd throw my first post on the boards down as a conquest. Here's what I got: 3 beige G3 300MHz MTs with the A/V personality cards 1 beige G3 300MHz DT with A/V + DVD card 1 8600 250MHz (has zero memory) 4 7300s 2 Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 20" CRTs 1 " "...
