Hey, I just got what I belive to be a G3 desktop [the case claims it's a 7600/132 though]
anyway, The PSU is quite dead, it used to spin the fan a little but now nothing…but is there anything I could do to fix the PSU [no? I didnt thinkso…]
so, is there a good place to get a new one?
or would you happen to have a spare, just dieing to be liberated  If I open my window all the bugs will get in…That's just one more reason to use a Mac!

If you're sure that its a Beige G3, put in an ATX PSU and swap the jumper."**** em" - Jobs in regards to customers

Thanks, I bet that might come in handy one day, but…it appears… that because the PSU wasnt screwed in, I hadden't pushed the Plug in all the way ^_^'' Now if only I had an ATA HD and CD… If I open my window all the bugs will get in…That's just one more reason to use a Mac!

I have a 7600/132. And it's not a g3, thought it could be upped to one.--------------------

Well well well, it always pays to check the simple stuff, doesn't it? Christophillis, about your 7600, it can be upped to a G3 or G4 using a daughtercard upgrade, but it'd take a lot of work to get a G3 mobo to fit in there. Methinks someone replaced the G3 bezel on Derekcat's G3 with a 7600 one. "**** em" - Jobs in regards to customers
