Cheap - not cheap - cheap - not cheap - hmmm . . .


Cheap minimum for OS X.x with reasonable future breathing room - AGP graphics  G4 (Sawtooth) with a 32 MB Macintosh Nvidia graphics card or another AGP video card that will handle the Quartz Extreme aspect of OSX.x well.  The Sawtooth comes in numerous flavours - 350-500 MHz - a good range for different budgets.  Some of the video cards have DVI output, some do not - something to consider.

Lotsa RAM - RAM is cheap.


Make sure you warn him away from a PCI/G4 - a novice might mistake it for a bargain.

Noise tolerance?  You may want to warn them away from the Leafblower Macs.


Moderate price range - something better.


Not cheap?  Hey - sky's the limit -


Choice is good -

The word 'cheap' and 933 in the same paragraphs. /grumble\
Wonder if I can still reach Shinnyhinny? Send him across the border for a visit. <gr>

I'm toying with the idea Karl of selling one of my 933s and tossing that revenue towards a G5 dual BUT it's a way-out-in-left-field thought only.
I've to much time and money invested in it ta take a nose dive.
Especially when it (both) are purring away.
Stripping it back down to stock just to sell at the going rate is not my style.

Hang on to that "gem" Bill, I don't think you wanna get paid in Canuck dollars.  

I haven't heard of his progress yet, and I'm unsure as to how much he's actually prepared to spend.

The workhorse [MT300] is starting to see its last days as far as keeping up with much needed software etc etc .. Karl.
Might have to put the MT out to pasture and let the 933 take over.
What that 'option' would mean is selling it to the company. Thus money floats from one account to another.
 
Although that's way down on the 'think about' list let alone 'to get' list.

LOL! That's about the only thing I miss about being self employed...the 'creative' accounting and all the 'gray' areas with respect to tax write-offs.

The Dual 500 for $825 isn't too bad.

For higher up. The older iMacs are good.
