I've got about $550 into my 7300 (bought for $60 and upgraded, G4/450/1M, 576 MB, 32MB Nexus 128, usb card & ATA100 card w/40 gig drive). Considering its limited potential going forward, I'd have probably been better off buying something like a Sawtooth G4, but I like the beige machines. Would have cost me several hundred more than the 7300 as presently configured - for sure- at the time I bought it. Wouldn't be too hard to shave $150-$200 off the top of that if you go with a G3 card instead and look around for a used ATA66 card. FWIW, I just finished installing OS X.1 onto it w/XPostFacto. Had to configure the L2 and install the new ATI drivers after the fact, but hey, it doesn't run bad at all :) Anyone know of a free utility or game that will give me an idea of how well my graphics card is working ?
