I'm going to get my first Mac once apple releases new versions, but i'm looking at getting an iMac G4 or Powermac G4 Cube, how much would be a good price in £, and what specs should i look for?


Thanks

People should be giving those away. I picked up a free Quicksilver and Mirror Drive door G4 at my local computer repair store, they were dumpster bound.

Umm... if you are getting such old computers, then it really doesn't matter if Apple released new versions. And anyway, like the person above said, people are giving these away for free now.

If I were you, I would treat myself to a new Mac once Apple releases new versions.

While I love my iMac G4, it can't do anything spectacular these days. It runs pretty much everything I throw at it, but my Hack runs circles around it.

I just want an older mac to mess about with. My hack is really good, but i'm going to buy a mac when the product lines are refreshed.

where about should i look for these older macs?

Why would you wait until the line is refreshed? You aren't going to get anything for waiting blink.gif
