I personnaly would stick to Intel based iMacs. Also only a 17" screen and no Leopard disc.

Check out 20" imacs in the refurb section of the apple store.

NO
Not for that price. You would be much better off with a Intel mac mini.
New, or even a used intel.

I would also recommend you that you go with an intel mac. I would only take the iMac you have provided in the link if you don't have a good monitor, keyboard and mouse and need a complete system for a low price. Otherwise go with the mac mini. :rolleyes: Good luck!
