having costed everything on ebay prices i was intending on spending
£150/£200
to be fair i hadnt even looked at G5's on ebay, they still are a
little more than £200 but G4's are well within that range some going
for £30, this would be a better option for sure thanks for pointing
that out to me
but that still leaves me with what's best to do with this smurf box, i
dont want to throw it away, should i just spec up the memory and give
it to my dad or neice's and nephews to get them started on the apple
way ;-)
or could it work as a music/video server
thanks for the reply
