It does.  The 7200 and 7300 cases are identical(minus some backplane 
silliness) to the G3 desktop cases.

Save the body parts and the cash and get a Beige(unless you need 
built-in FireWire and USB support).  The 350Mhz B&W I've got here isn't 
doing a whole heck of a lot better than the 300Mhz Beige. :(

This has got to be Apple's worst OS release in a long time.  I was 
particularly impressed by the fact that I get a kernel panic at boot if 
my external CDR is powered on.  :(

And I"ve got a brand new copy of OSX here, waiting on them to add
support

for 3rd-party G3 upgrade cards (I've heard rumors that they may
eventually

"backport" OSX to the 604e-based PCI macs as well, after some speed 

improvements).

I've heard that the 7300 uses the same case as the desktop beige

G3, so maybe if I can just find a motherboard....
