I bought a powermac 7600 for $75, a G3 upgrade card for $75, usb card for $13, and plan to get a TV out PCI video card (ati xclaim) off ebay for maybe $60 (hoping to). Ethernet is built-in on the 7600. Already have a keyspan usb ir remote. Maybe I will get a macally wireless usb keyboard when OS X drivers are out.
I served up my mp3 collection on my blue & white G3 running OS X using NFS (NFSmanager is great), mounted that share on the powermac 7600 and then simply added those mp3s to the iTunes library on the 7600 (took only a few seconds to process the mp3s). Internet radio works too.
I'm hoping the TV out works, only question is whether I need a monitor attached when I boot. I'm assuming I don't.
