I am a high school student and I am looking to spend about 6 or 7 hundred on a mac, maybe a B&W powermac g3, or a powerbook g3. Anyone know where I should look, or have something I might be interested in? I want to use X, watch DVD's, and run office/gaming apps, but the DVD drive is not essential. Also, what do you reccomend to use to run X? I know that you can buy a computer for 300 that will run it, (according to apple's requirements) but will it be fast?
thanks all,
Rich

Where is that? I looked but I can't find it. I'll look some more, and if I can't find it I'll email you later.
