Right,
I realise I have become a regular poster of OMG OMG HELP HELP threads, and believe me it's been a tedious, yet worthwhile learning curve understanding these beauties.
I wanted something reasonably priced, had to be a tower rather than a laptop etc, I wanted lots of inputs for usb etc, firewire, and a decent setup for using Logic or other recording programs, so I settled with a G4.
Now instantly you think I went for one of those 800GHz jobbies, not at all,
going to add more ram, going to add alot more HDD space, optical drives, better graphics even though AGP is quite restricting, and some nice firewire external sound interface
I went for a G4 1.8 Dual Processor Sonnet Conversion, but it's best you have a look for yourself.
Apple PowerMac G4 1.8Ghz Dual Processor fully loaded on eBay (end time 11-May-10 11:14:01 BST)
I only want something to do a bit of recording on, have a dabble, and learn a bit more about these machines, so I think it's all good.
Verdict?
Cheers for everyones help up to now, muchos appreciated.
