James, I would have to agree with Dan's concerns about the seller. I just went through the process of buying two B&W G3 to replace my daughters Beige boxes. Be patient, look for right deal. Do a couple of searches on eBay for "Blue & White G3" and "B&W G3" and save them. The deals are out there. Also, I personally would not buy a 300 MHz B&W. Most tend to be Rev 1 MOBO's and the benefits of the Rev 2 board and layout are far superior, for ease of install, backside cache speed and adding additional drives. Look for a Rev 2 350 or better. I purchased two on eBay, a Rev 2 350 for $220.00 and a Rev 2 400 for $250.00. These were basic unit with 128 Mb RAM, DVD/CD ROM, Zip drive, no keyboard or mouse (the hockey puck mouse is a dreadful piece of hardware anyway). The B&W has a single ADB port on back so you can use an old Apple Kbd and mouse if you need to. MacAlly and Logitech both make two button mice and keyboards for about $25.00 to $35.00. Just my .02 Here are a few nice Rev 1- http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2791335451&category=14911 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2791662532&category=14911 Some Rev 2's - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2791265217&category=14911 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2791176076&category=14911 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2791712815&category=14911 Good Luck, Wade Perry -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
