Looking for one of the Macs above, £150-170 max (so most likely a G3 iMac!)
..I know its not much but I just want something for using the internet.
Airport would be nice btw.
Longshot, but if anyone has a cheap apple laptop they'd like to let go, i wouldnt mind one of those either!

Thanks, Chrismcfall.

Which of those figures do you actually want to spend? For 100 you should get a nice iMac G3 maybe even with airport - though you would be better off with an add on dongle for WiFi b/g. For 170 you can get an eMac which would personally be much better value - the USB 2 versions are miles ahead of any G3 imac and nearly as good as a G4 imac.

I did originally put £100, but i've just had some auctions finish on ebay, so the £170ish figure is about right I suppose.

I would more prefer an eMac for the G4 and the flat CRT, it just depends on what the nice people at MacRumors can offer me!
I've notice some prices on ebay go a little high though, so I thought i'd get a more realistic price on here.

Anyone got anything to offer? :)

By the way, if i wanted USB 2.0 and Extreme in an eMac, i'd be looking at a 1.25 Ghz right?

If it makes any difference, by Saturday i'll have about £190 total to spend!
If anyone here is in the Birmingham/Coventry area, i could collect to save on shipping!
