I "found" this in a pile of computer equipment outside the computing building at a local Uni. No idea of precise specs yet though as I haven't been able to power it up yet. I do, however, believe it to be a 233MHz model. In a couple of rather unusual points, both the RAM and HDD sled were left in the machine (normally they get stripped out). My guess is that they thought the RAM was some proprietary Mac-specific stuff and didn't think it was valuable. It didn't have a HDD installed but having the lower drive sled and taking regular ATA drives means finding a replacement won't be hard. I have a 4.3GB drive at my folks house that I think will be perfect.

edit: I didn't notice it had a spec sticker on the back:

233MHz G3

32MB RAM

512K Cache

4GB HDD

24X CD-ROM

It has a pair of DIMMs though so I suspect it was upgraded unless it was normal for Apple to ship these things out with a pair of 16MB DIMMs. Only one of them seems to have an Apple logo though so I'd guess it has about 64MB now. I'll have to wait until I can power it up to be sure.
