Combining two 1997 Beige G3 Power Macs and maxing it out! The Beige Beast, Part 1!

How far can you push a Power Macintosh Beige G3 desktop from 1997? Well, today starts an adventure that I've wanted to take for more than fifteen years. This is the first episode in a series of upgrade videos where we upgrade the Beige G3 as far as it can go, and then some.

In this episode, we're combining two Beige G3 desktops into one using the best parts from each, and then we'll upgrade the video card and max out the RAM.
