I'm sure there are probably some places that still have stock of them, but I'm not sure that buying one would be a good idea unless it was very cheap. They weren't bad machines, but the Intel Macs are so much better in terms of performance.

Here's on at Amazon's UK store, but I would second the opinion of going the Mini route. You'll get much more usable life out of it before it needs replaced and the modular design means that even then you'll only have to replace the Mini, and not the display.

You cannot compare the Intels against te G4 PPCs. They are so far apart in terms of performance. The Mini will be approx 4-5 times faster than the eMac in the most part. There really is no reason to get the eMac - the mini comes standard with the 512 RAM that you said the eMac has. OK it doesn't have a 160 HD or a superdrive, but you can always buy external ones as and when you need them.
The mini wins hands down
