Hello,
I've been looking for an old Power Mac G4 for a while, mainly for use as a media center (storing all my music and movies and keeping Home Sharing up) and also to use some old PPC games and apps that I'm unable to run on my Intel machines. I've looked on eBay, Amazon, and some third party resellers, and prices for different models go from $60 to over $400, and I'm not sure what a realistic asking price is for one at this point in time, versus what would be too much, or too good to be true. I'd like to have either a Quicksilver or a Sawtooth, but the ones I've seen online have contradictory specs and extremely varying prices. Does anyone have an idea about where I could find a reliable place to get one, and around how much I would pay?
