WTT: Powerbook 15in 1.5 G4 with 2GB Ram

So we got a great computer from nospleen on here a few months back, and now my brother realized that a laptop wouldn't be the best idea for audio production, and he'd rather have a desktop. Right now he has a 1.5GHz PowerBook G4 with 2GB Ram, Bluetooth, Combo Drive, and 80GB Hard Drive. Would anyone be willing to trade for some type of desktop? I was thinking a single 1.8 with a gig or 2 of ram and a decent hard drive would be a fair trade. Let me know if you're interested. iMac G5s are also strongly considered. Does this seem pretty fair? Single 1.8 PMG5s are selling for 700-800 on ebay.

I have a Mac mini Core Duo that would be much faster than a PowerMac G5. And lots cheaper.

While it might be a little faster in theory, it wouldn't work for audio production. Stuff like pro tools really needs a PCI car, and you can't get that in a mini.
