Just gotten my first Beige G3 from a customer who's moving house.
It started out as stock when I got it.
G3 266 Mhz - 512 L2
32 MB RAM
4 GB HDD (dead)
Rage II 2 MB
Stock CD ROM
I dug through my parts boxes and it's now suitably pimped.
G3 400 Mhz - 1 MB L2
288 MB RAM
20 GB HDD
Rage II 6 MB (finally, a use for the 4 meg stick from my dead Rev B iMac)
Radeon 7200 32 MB
52x Sony CD-RW, machine boots from it fine and software installs scream now.
It took me a while to get the Radeon card working but now Quake II, Deus Ex and Rune are all running great (plus a load of less demanding games) and OS 9.2 runs like a charm. I wish I had gotten one of these sooner, it will definitely be my primary Classic gaming machine.
