[QUOTE="Avalon, post: 88406, member: 5184"] If you can afford it, go with the eMac. G3 iMacs sell pretty high for their low performance, compared to the eMac. It's much faster, has a 17" screen, accepts more memory than the G3 iMac, bigger harddisk, combo-drive (software comes on DVD), it's new...It's just simply much better. If you find a G3 for $150-$200,- (with at least 256MB memory) then go for it, but I doubt that. But IMO, it's not worth more...especially not since the Mac mini's out. Or, if you have a screen, USB-keyboard and mouse, get a Mac mini. More or less same performance than the eMac, less bulky, very silent...and costs about $499,- (plus $59,- for the keyboard+mouse, in case you don't have any). [/QUOTE]
