It sounds like you're looking for the deal of the century, and if that's the case... I wish you lotsa luck.

G4's are still going for around $1000 even for the old ones.

There's a G4 450 on eBay right now with a BIN of $900. You wanted suggestions...

I am looking for a good deal... but I just need to let the fact sink in that you can get a G4 800 Mhz for $1600... direct from apple...

I think because of that we should be able to find prices like this:

G3 350-450 B&W... for $400-$650
G4 400-533... $500-700

I think thats fair... if we where taling PC's right now... then systems that are 1-2 years old would be a lot cheaper... (they where to begin with anyway)

sigh....
