Title: LF: CHEAP Mac
Post by: jasonh on June 09, 2006, 11:32:32 PM
I'm looking for either a used mini, eMac, iMac g4, or possibly even a g4 tower. I need a decent machine to take to school with me and I'm on a tight budget. Bonus points for something that does not have a built in display, also machine doesnt need a hard drive in it! Keyboard/mouse also not needed.

I recommend the Mini, especially one with Bluetooth. How tight is your budget?

What about getting a used eMac - latest model ? They are FAST! Put a Gig of ram in there and it's off to the races...   What do you guys think?

Unless you can find a good deal on an older tower...

I dont own any bluetooth devices :-P

I'd say as $400 or under.

About anything decent used is getting into the price range of a new intel mini, which would be a lot more useful in the long run.

Maybe not now, but you will. BT is going to be in everything.

The eMac was a nice computer too. I prefer LCD screens and I like the form factor of the Mini.
