[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 908626, member: 56379"] Yes...I was only teasing about the "60 gigs of ram";)...I knew you meant hard drive size. As far as the monitor...its really only worth $5-$10 bucks. CRT display's are really hard to sell these days...even at $15 bucks you would be lucky to get it sold. I would bet that the seller is just trying to "unload" that CRT display...he may not even give you much of a reduction if you don't take it. But you can always try for a reduction...no harm done. About 12 months ago I bought SEVEN large high-end 21" CRT monitors for $5 bucks a piece! But if you don't currently have a display...it's better than nothing!:) I think in the long run this would be a better computer than the eMac. Also don't forget that there are CPU upgrades for the G4 towers...but they usually aren't cheap (may cost more than the tower itself)...but at least you have the option. No CPU upgrades for the eMac. - Nick [/QUOTE]
