cool, i'll be watchin'.i think i'm goin' back to grab a couple more fx's, it's a sin to have less than 32Mb in one of these babies! they all have id tags from the same bank, so there are probably a few more 24bit cards and decent sized scsi drives in the pile. too bad they were runnin' office 'n crap like that, bet the graphics department had some BIG SIMMS! jt =8-}

Eeeeee colour me jealous - specially with that drive... Back when I didn't like anything but what-I'd-used-before (not macs :D and was being slowly turned... before even liking LC's... the IIfx looked like a "whoa" machine to me. One day it'd be nice to get a-hold of one and give it something to do. Congrats :D. dana

i was going to go back and liberate two more, want me to grab another one for ya? i think there are four or five left, all with NIC's and bog knows what else inside besides a graphics card of some kind.jt p.s. i was thinking about doing a hack with the cases, but i don't know if i'll be able to bring myself to using bootable machines for it. anybody got dead II's a/o something else to trade for working IIfx's, if i end up with several?

i haven't got one of those yet! they weren't all fx's but i grabbed em anyway, now i've got:
one IIfx (the original), but now w/32 Megs RAM
one IIfx 32/250
one IIfx 20/225
one IIfx doa
one IIx 8/?
one II 5/?
these cases are ugly, so i may hack 'em and save the extra mobos & psu's for spares. i may keep the II as is, it's my first. the IIx and the doa fx are gonna be toast! it's bondo and a graphite or black paint job time! maybe i can add a second and maybe a third story and hack one of my extra duo docks into it for my 2300c along with an fx mobo a/o a 475 mobo, and have three generations of cpu's in one box with a pile of removables. where's the best place to look for a SCSI slot-loading CD-ROM drive and SCSI internal ZIP? jt =8-} jt

argo electronics co. 393 canal st. (job lots & closeouts) just east of sixth ave. (whatever they call it at canal st) they've got a stack of Laserwriter IIg's, but no paper trays, i think i cleaned out all the II's, but they might have one or two somewhere in the back. up front there's a //gs console way up on a shelf and a couple of horribly beat-up looking Q800's (drive bezels missing/cases beat to snot). it's the only place left in NY that's got any interesting junk bin stuff that i know of. there are some very interesting video lens assemblies in a box near the front door for about $12 a pop.good hunting

WOW OMG same here! Now, my friend, you need to go back to that place, get the rest of the IIfx left, and take the other 3.5 giggers, and make yourself a RAID. Then come here and continue to make us jealous with a RAID of 6 3.5 gig SCSI drives.  -------------------------- Pizzabox LCs RULE!!!!!!! Warrior maclover5

make that a dumb@$$ PM who can't tell the difference between a 350 MB drive and a 3.5GB drive,  i musta been more exhausted than i realized to mistake 3 MB free space for 3GB, what kind of  has less than 1% of their drive as free space?i am so bummed, but i've got a freakin stack of assorted full size working Mac II's over a meter tall with a DOA IIfx to add to it and my IIci for garnish! maybe it's time do build an armchair/renderfarm hack, but i'm still bummed. jt the pile of old NIC's and interesting graphics cards to go with the one GREAT one helps a little, but i was savoring that drive space. :-(.. . . .. . ..... .
