I was looking for something maybe like a G4 tower, G4 iMac, a Cube, mini, something like that. Decent specs. Looking to spend around $100-300, but the cheaper, the better. I hate trying to use PC's as network machines, so I'd rather just buy a cheap Mac and use the monitor, keyboard, and mouse that I have and hook my external hdd's up to it. Does anyone have anything like that other there that they are willing to part with?

Hey, I'm considering selling my Power Mac G4. It's got a 533 MHz G4 with 640 Mb of RAM, an 80 Gb 7,200 RPM HD, a Radeon 9800 Pro, and a 16x Dual Layer SuperDrive. I'm not 100% sure on price, and I'll know later this week if I need to sell it or not.

No tie in except an avid lurker of various market places. The headless powerbook may be helpful size wise:

I was thinking and I think I may be willing to spend a lil more if I can score a Mini to use as a media center. When did the Mini's start having the remotes on them?

The intel switch. Get a G4 one to save cash and buy a usb remote, unless you really need intel. I picked up a mini here for sub $300 (from an awesome member ), and it does everything perfectly.

Just like to say I'm also interested in a similar computer.
