Mhmm, I'd strongly recommend not running it without any active cooling
I appreciate the apprehension someone would feel doing a deal like this, almost in the blind. The reason I canceled my PayPal account was because someone out-and-out defrauded me (and I could prove it) and PayPal insisted on treating the matter as though it was just an innocent mistake. Dealing with their "Customer Service" was a joke and with extreme pissed-off-itude I told them to shove it. So as alexh pointed out, even PayPal is no guarantee of a fair deal. I appreciate the advice about ebay though. I hate, hate, hate the idea of it but I may, in the end, have to swallow my pride.
To fill in some of the blanks, I'm located in northern Idaho, US.
The PPC is the 200 mhz model produced by Phase 5. It came in a black box and the sticker on its side lists it as "Cyberstorm PPC 200 mhz, Phase 5, A3000/A4000 models, No CPU". Not sure why the box stated no cpu because obviously it has one. It came with a 68060 cpu as well, and the scsi module. The only problem I ever had with it was the cheap fan they stuck on top of the ppc quit after about a year. It never caused any problems though. I fired the system up just recently and everything checks out, just like the old days. It was purchased in Spokane, WA on 12/4/97 for an obscene amount of money. :roflmao:
