OK.. on to the details.. which G3 is it? What OS does it have on it? If it's a Blue and White model you can upgrade the chips to G4 chips.. and vid cards can be had for cheap.

It's a Platinum G3. I don't know what OS is on it, because I don't have a video adapter so I can hook up the monitor.
And as far as it would have been better to get something newer that a G3, it was given to me, and right now all I can afford. Better an older model than no model at all (says a 61 year old)
And on another note, is there somewhere other than eBay to buy 'older' Mac hardware? Some of the prices are breath-taking. I still need a monitor and a mouse (nothing available here local)

You should be able to find the correct video adapter (plug) for your existing monitor. Much cheaper than a "new" monitor. Still, knowing the installed OS will give us more of a clue and chance to offer help. Also, is it a tower or "flat" desktop model?
