Found an 8600/250 with Newer Tech G4/400 card and 4 Seagate Barracuda HDs (two 4gb and two 8gb ones) plus 192mb RAM (meh). Also with zip and CD burner. Cool part is that it also came with an X-Rite DTP92 monitor calibrator and accompanying software, as well as a ColorMouse with ColorBlind Matchbox for building ICC output profiles from printers! And two USB to serial adapters: a Keyspan and an Entrega!
Corel suite 8, Photoshop 7, etc. came installed.
So I popped FireWire and USB cards into the tower, attached my Nikon LS-2000 film scanner and Macintosh 16" Color Display, and now it's a fully calibrated film scanning and retouching station. If only the old hard drives didn't sound like a quiet hair dryer. I may have to invest in a CF->SCSI adapter and rig it up with a faux SSD.
Could also use to have its RAM maxed out. But I like having the analog video inputs, I'll have to figure out if they can capture at 30p/60i, and what software is best for capturing from analog like that. Thanks for looking.

You should put up some pictures of that crazy extra-tall IIfx you have.
