[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 897386, member: 56379"] Welcome! So it seems like your 1st priority is a RED G3 iMac!;D Then secondly to have it be as fast as possible. Both of your ideas are kind of the same thing...which basically involves getting a working 600 or 700mhz G3 iMac...and swapping internal parts or external housing/bezel's. I guess the key question is...are the internal parts or the external housing "swappable". I happen to have a 400mhz Red G3 iMac, and a 600mhz Graphite G3 iMac. I have never tried swapping the parts...but it would seem easier to me (in your case)...to find a good working 600 or 700mhz G3 iMac. Then you would just have to swap the: - rear colored housing of the iMac - the slot-loading CD-rom bezel - the colored speaker grills - and the colored Apple logo & accent mark from the top of the iMac housing I'm pretty darn sure all of the these parts will swap ok...the only one I'm not 100% sure of would the the large colored rear computer housing...and that just because I'm not 100% sure the screw holes are the same. I'm pretty sure they are. That would be my thoughts, - Nick [/QUOTE]
