800 euro for a B&W G3 plus 17" CRT is a reasonable price although I have seen G4s for about the same price here on the Dutch and Belgium Ebay, Emmanuel. > I would like to use it for internet surfing, mail, music burning ( cd-rw ) and >possibly some picture editing stuff. > I would also like to be able to run OSX. I have a B&W G3 350 myself and it does a good job in the things you describe you wanna do with a B&W G3. Although I would go for a second hand G4 with AGP myself if you want to run OS X. And no problems with rev A or B and adding a second internal HD or not. > What do you think? Is this a good deal, knowing that I will have to upgrade the RAM >( 256MB) , buy a cdrw It's easy to add RAM to a B&W G3 (256MB maximum per slot, 4 slots thus 4x256MB= 1 GB max); adding a CDRW is easy, I recently installed an IDE Lite-On 24x10x40 (24102B) in my B&W. > and a modem + > possibly a network card to enable me to use a broadband internet connection ( cable >or ADSL) No need to add a modem and network card if you're getting cable or ADSL, they both use Ethernet which is built-in in a B&W G3 or G4. > > It might also be interesting to know that I live in Belgium where Mac hardware and >periphetals aren't exactly cheap... > > Your feedback would be greatly appreciated. For more help, perhaps in Dutch if you like since I'm Dutch, you can mail me privately. I also have some friends in Belgium who know their way in the Belgium Mac market.
