Try eBay. or better yet try auctions.yahoo.com Few people use it but you have to watch out there are more crooks there than eBay.
if you can find I deal like that it would be a G4/350 with a 4xCDR and 17inch monitor that is only 15 inch viewable.
But I hope you get lucky and find a better deal than than
Don't want you to turn to x86

Well, it's like this.
First off, your desires are a little unrealistic with regard to price.
My g4/400 mystic (purchased oct2000 is worth $1200-1300 to me.
specs:
DVD-ROM
448mb RAM
20gb hard drive
Rage 128 AGP video card, as it came from Apple.
AppleCare included
My 17" CRT (non-Apple) is worth about $250 (it displays 1600x1200 nicely.)
By the time you add shipping and customs, it's absurd. Now, if you're coming over stateside anytime soon and don't mind bringing a G4 back in a large suitcase, that's something different.
Although if you're coming over, my local CompUSA has a G4 450 Cube (DVD-ROM) for $900 US, and it'd be easier to fit in your suitcase.
I just don't see how this could be fair to me, without you suffering a high cost for shipping and customs, etc.. Point out where I'm wrong?
