[QUOTE="Brown Study, post: 340037, member: 3889"] It would be worth your while to check into the Mac Mini. It isn't saddled with the old PowerPC technology and would be much faster than the old Mac you're using. And if you're in the U.S., the price is only 150 bucks more than the $450 for the G4. A refurb would be even cheaper. The assumption with the Mini is you use whatever monitor and keyboard you have kicking around. But load any Mac with as much RAM as you can — 512 isn't enough, so more would bump up the price. The cheapest on the [URL="http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?family=Macmini"][B]U.S. Mac Mini store page[/B][/URL] is $599. The specs page [URL="http://www.apple.com/macmini/"][B]is here[/B][/URL]. [b]Edit:[/b] Can't see anything about it playing or recording CDs, though, just DVDs [/QUOTE]
