You'll probably have to budget a bit more unless you get lucky on eBay
(which is possible since the PowerBase has some G3 upgrades which are
specific to the PowerBase)

A good rule of thumb when you get a new (to you) computer is
to do a clean install (the old system will be saved anyway in a folder
called Previous System Folder).
That way, at least the screwups are your own.
Any serial #'s that may be required for software that was installed
will be found in the preferences folder of the old system.
Congratulations on your purchase...the PowerBase was a very
promising unit when introduced...too bad PowerComputing didn't get a chance to
develop it further...
Cheers...Michael
