Welcome to the forums! Hopefully you don't have to leave things behind. When you sell/donate/rehome your cherished devices to another loving collector, they will continue on with their usefulness. If you are trying to sell/rehome, it helps to list your location (or general area), so that...

Could it be a failing PSU that takes a while to get warm and fail? Just measuring the voltage output without load does not always signify a working PSU. I know it is grasping at straws, but you have tried everything under the sun.

I used the fan from the back of an intel iMac in my Beige G3. See this post. Mine is a G4-450 overclocked to 533MHz.

I never liked the AGP tabs... if you have a screw on the io plate, it should stay in place fine without the tab. Some motherboards have what looked like a clip that went around the entire AGP slot. I am not sure if that is even removable (likely some tabs at the lower edge of the connector)...

Sorry, that one is messed up... let me try to rework it. [edit] Try this one.
