Pimp My Mac

Alright folks,

I've just got my hands on an old apple 1999 G4 Ethernet with 20GB hard drive. What I want to do is use this as platform to create a truly awesome computer. I'm new to all this so I'm hoping I can get some wise words from all you good people to make this something truly beutifull.

Well there are several things you can do. First thing I would do would be to get a bigger and faster Hard Drive. Then some RAM depending on what you want to do. A USB PCI card too. And then if you really want to shell some cash out you could get a new graphics card and faster CPU.
*edit*
I forgot to add a good CD-ROM

I think RAM will probably make the largest difference.

But I'd caution against sinking too much money into what is basically an obsolete machine.

Have fun tricking it out a bit, but don't go spending crazy money on the upgrades!

perfect advice! some upgrading is good but at some point you might get into a price range where you would rather get a new machine.

RAM is probably the first thing I would do.
