Hi guys, I am a current PC user getting ready to pick up a mac. I currently am running Fedora Core, but I would be willing to turn my PC into a server after getting a mac. Most of my time on the computer is spent coding, but I surf the web a great deal. I also need my computer to be able to have decent productivity software as I write quite a bit.
I have arround 800$ or so right now, and should be able to rase arround another 700-800$ by the end of summer. I understand in this price range I have quite a few options, but I would like to more or less narrow things down to the Power Mac G5 w/ single 1.8 and 512-1gig of ram, the 1.4 mac mini, or an iBook/PowerBook. Anyone have any good recomodations? I guess on ebay I might be able to afford a dual 1.8 power mac, but I have a feeling that that is stretching the edge of my budget. Any help is really appriceated!
