I still haven't bought a clamshell yet, but I still want one! I found a 366MHz model (iBook G3 Clamshell M6411) in good condition for $215 USD. There's one issue: it doesn’t have the logo on the back of the screen. As I understand, it's a physical item glued inside. Does anyone know if it can be recreated at home from rubber?
 
Never mind, I bought it :) 185 usd in the end. Will have it soon and will start buzzing with questions. How much is the difference in terms of speed and responsiveness compared to 466mhZ model?
 
I have an issue when I start copying a large file (8GB) from PC to G4.
When copying has started I hear high level noise from motherboard/cpu area. After some time the system hangs.
Does anyone aware what it could be?

(I tried another Ethernet Card => the same. I moved the target copy disk from the system ATA cable to an internal Card => the same (noise, hang))

I’ve noticed I’ll get occasional speaker noise during intense CPU usage but never any hanging. I’d create a new thread regarding it, you’ll have better visibility.
