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 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
