I'm looking into buying an iBook (used because I don't have a whole lot of cash) and was wodnering if anyone here knew a website I could find a low-priced(under $500) iBook at around 500MHz? However I don't want an iBook SE, but if you know a site with them I will consider it. Thanks!

Please check the logic board problem. As far as I remember ALL white G3 iBooks have this problem. And after it has been fixed it came back again on many machines. Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems apple has no final solution for this. And the 500 MHz machine does not fall under the extended repair program any more because of the age. Find details at apples website.

Maybe an Se isn't that bad as a choice. I always liked the clamshell iBooks. They have a tremendously comfortable palmrest (if you type a lot).

Just cecked one yesterday (because I need a quiet server) and found also the display very bright after all these years.

Not all white g3 ibooks have the logic board problems. I just sold an dual-usb 500mhz ibook built in the summer of 2001 whose line was not affected.

My 600MHZ G3 iBook is almost three years old and it is running just fine.

I did send it in early in the first year to repair the tight hinge problem, BEFORE it could cause damage to the LCD. It was pretty noisy before the repair...
