Beige G3s are nice systems with OS 9. Can be a little cranky in OS X. Should make a decent Linux box as well.
Coincidentally, I just received a free Blue and White G3, 350Mhz REV 2, but it was stripped fairly clean. No RAM, hard drive, mounting brackets, or video card. Oddly, it did come with a Firewire/USB combo card and a USB 2.0 card. I sort of like the Beige G3 better as an OS 9 Mac, but the Blue and White is much easier to get OS X running reliably.
Of course, a curb side Sawtooth would be preferable, but beggars cannot be choosers.
