Basically my girlfriend finally asked me to marry her a few days ago and i said yes. Now i wanna buy her a really cool engagement ring and ill be honest i dont really have much spare money.
My main idea so far is "downgrading" from my current Late 2009 model iMac (with 8GB ram, extra Magic Trackpad, remote and Applecare) by selling it and buying the cheapest mac i can for my needs.
I love my current iMac to bits it does everything i need, but i guess sometimes you gotta sacrifice things. Has anyone else ever done anything like this?
The cheapest i could find were G4 powermac towers and they dont look too bad (about £100-£150 for a good one, would anyone recommend them?)
I do have a late model 1Ghz iMac G4 with a gig of RAM but i use it as a kitchen hifi due to its limited networking speeds (i copy alot of data around at home e.g network backups, moving large video files etc) so i dont think it would be suitable.
any thoughts appreciated!
