The following are not 3.5 currently, perhaps in the future they will be upgraded.
I started with the 3 Golems that I use in my Mage Knight army. I want to get more for my army of course, and when I do I will convert them as well, though I may do so before I get them anyways. I was hopipng to at one point make a Mage Knight Netbook, but I do not think I could have any chance of doing that on my own.
Here are the first 3 Golems I Converted, they include the Brass Golem and Blade Golem, both used by the Atlantian faction and the Steam Golem used by the Black Powder Rebels.

Brass Golem's are the fore front of the Atlantis Guild's Armies. The are especially fast, but the can take a few good hits. Standing 7 feet tall when fully erect, the Brass Golem can be an imposing sight, especially when a group of 4 come running at you. The light reflecting off the polished brass of the construct. Brass Golems are not smart by any means, but they can follow basic orders given by their commander, who is typically a Technomancer, or some other Magic user from the Atlantic Guild.
Brass Golem's use Mage Stones as power sources like most of the Atlantis Guilds Construct armies as well as their other devices.
Brass Golem's speak no language, but understand Atlantean and Common. Being Constructs they do not need food, though they go through Mage Stones every so often, the Typical Mage Stone will last 2-4 years before needing to be replaced.
Combat: Brass Golem's attack with the massive fists, slamming the opponent into the ground. Brass Golem's get no penalties for attacking with each hand in combat. Tactics is not truelly a word to describe the Brass Golem in combat, they simply go in hit the target with all they can and move on the the next target when they finish off the first.

Another creation of the Atlantis Guild, Blade Golems are dangerous opponents, with both their weapon arms they can tear through their enemies. Made exclusively to fight the Golems know nothing else. They follow orders almost to the letter, only passing from their tasks to be rid of enemies that come near. Though they can not speak, they do understand Atlantian and Common. They will attack anything that attempts to speak to them in any other language.
Blade Golems, like most Atlantian golems are made of an alloy of Brass and Adamantite. This alloy is not as susceptable to rust as most metals, though they still can be effected, they get a +1 to all saves vs rusting.
Combat: Blade Golem's attack with a massive Sword on one arm and the large buzz saw blade on the other. Blade Golem's get no penalties for attacking with either hand in combat, They can attack with both on any given round, though if they are using the Saw to cut through something or someone, they may not attack with anything else.
The Critical Threat range for the Sword arm is 19-20/x2. The Critical Threat Range for the Saw Blade is 17-20/x4.
Special Attacks:
-Saw Through (ex)- Once per round, as a Standard action, a Blade Golem can initiate a Saw attack meant to cut through an opponents defense, literally. This attack doubles the already impressive critical range of the Saw Arm and deals continuous damage as long as the golem continues the attack. If the attack does half the targets total hp the target must make a Fortitude Save (DC 18) or die and be cut completely in half.
Special Qualities:

Since it was never alive, a construct cannot be raised or resurrected . Constructs have darkvision with a range of 60 feet.
-Damage Reduction - 5/-, Blade Golem's are very tough, they shrug off most damage, though magical attacks deal full damage.

The creation of a Blade Golem requires a Laboratory, this Lab costs 500gp to establish, plus 100 gp per month to keep up to date and fully supplied, this lab can be used for other golems.
The actual body of the Golem requires 900 pounds of Brass and 600 pounds of Adamantine. The cost for the Golem is 75000gp for the body, and materials. Crafting the Body requires a Successful Craft (Metal Working) check (DC 18) for the body and Craft (Metal Working) (DC 20) for the Power Core.

Steam Golems are the creation of a Dwarven Engineer, who was experimenting with steam powered machines, one of his creations was seen by a mage who wished to have a non-standard type of Golem. After some experiments of his own, he was able to enchant the Golem to obey commands and it even helped repell a attack by the Atlantis Guild. Seeing how usefull the construct was the mage created a few more, selling them to the Black Powder rebels, since the Golem did not require Magestones to function, they were much easier to keep running.
Steam Golems are made of an alloy of Steel and Mithral. So as to slow down rust, which they tend to attract. The outer body of teh Golem is mostly rounded with a large steam vent
Steam Golem's speak no language, but understand Common. As golems they do not eat, sleep or rest. They need only to get the occassional repair job done, whether due to wear or combat.
Combat: Steam Golem's attack with a massive Sword on one arm or a huge cannon on the other. Steam Golem's get no penalties for attacking with either hand in combat, but can only use one per round. The only tactics Steam Golems use in combat consist of, Fire at enemies far away and slice enemies nearby. The Steam Cannon the Golem uses fires a large cannon ball, these cannon balls can be fired every other round. The Golem scavenges metal from the battlefield after combat is complete to replenish the cannon balls. The Golem can store up to 10 Cannon balls at a time inside the furnace which powers it. It takes 10 minutes to reform a new cannon ball once enough metal is scavenged. The range of the Steam Cannon is incremented by 150'.
The Critical Threat range for the Sword arm is 19-20/x2. Though it is slightly larger than a normal sword there is no real difference, besides the increased damage.
Special Attacks:
-Steam Blast (ex)-[/b] Once per round, as a Standard action, a Steam Golem can cause a blast of steam to jet out off itself, causing all enemies within 10' of the Golem to take 6d6 Fire/Steam damage (Reflex Save, DC 15 for half).
