The same can be said for 6500s and 8100s.

I have a new dream for a project someday.

A color classic, modded to take a 6500 motherboard.  Throw in a G3
upgrade, and a Geforce2MX.  Run dual headed.  Then things become
trickier.  Do you go with a good scsi card, or a USB card?  Given the
low memory limit, the good scsi card could mean a major speed boost,
but USB allows cheap peripherals like digital cameras, scanners, etc.

I find it very tempting.  If only I had more money.  If the right G3
upgrade was used, one might even be able to run OS X on the setup.
