[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 981127, member: 56379"] Here are a bunch of options given your $1000 budget: - I think that you would do fine with a nice dual-processor G5 tower computer. And like I mentioned earlier, you can get a dual 1.8ghz G5 tower for around $250-$300 on e-Bay. Slighter more for the faster CPU models. - Some folks will say forget about the G4 & G5 computers, and say get an Intel based Macintosh. Which is great advice as long as you have the budget. With $1000...you can definitely afford an "Intel Mac" - Don't forget to consider getting an Intel based iMac. You could definitely get an older Intel based iMac for around $600+. - You could get an older used Intel Based MacBook for around $500+. - Also consider that a "Brand New" Macbook costs $999. - FYI...I just purchased a 17" 1.8ghz G5 iMac for $100...awesome!:) Hope this helps, - Nick [/QUOTE]
