I am looking to buy a powermac g4 to run itunes and a bittorrent client and found one locally for sale. I was wondering what you all think this computer is worth so I can compare with the sellers asking price.

Power Mac G4
500MHz Dual Processor
1.125 GB RAM
CD/DVD-ROM drive
75GB and 20GB Hard Drives
nVidia GeForce4 MX Video Dual 32M

That is all the info I know of now, if I find out more I will update the thread...

Thanks so far... anyway I saw that link already, but the ad says its a dual processor version, which would be here. What do you all think I should do, go for this bargain and buy this for 300, or wait around a while longer and pick up a mac mini? I am going to find out if the computer for 300 comes with a display or anything else... I will fill you in, but please also fill me in on your thoughts.

I'd wait for a Mini. Intel Minis can be had in the $400-$600 range slightly used, and are plenty of a machine for basic tasks.
