I picked up a 266 rev 3 with a new 40 gig maxtor HD, maxed out ram, a 2 port USB card and a 3 port firewire card plus a 14 inch apple monitor for 5 dollars on ebay last winter. It was listed as local pickup only so noone was bidding I guess. Good deal since I had an original AV card with the DVD decoder and a 300 zif to add to it. I put it all in a PC case, lighted fans, etc., with a Liteon combo drive and running OS9 on one partition and 10.2.8 on the other. It plays DVDs and can do light work while I or my wife work on other things in the computer room. It is hooked to a 15 in apple AV monitor with built in speakers so it looks and sounds preaty good, works as an itunes jukebox as well. (the 15 in was a freebie along with a 6360 that also works but is currently collecting dust)
We have another rev 1 that now has the 266 zif and a standard AV card that I have set up to use our nest box cameras for the birds ( though that is still a work in progress). Nothing wrong with an old beige as long as you only expect what is reasonable. Have fun with the foundling.
