Hello all, I haven't been on in almost literally forever, but there's no way I could abandon the great folks over here at Macrumors. It's been more than a year since my last login! Anyway, I'll be visiting here on a regular basis again, so no worries.
Anyway, down to the issue. I'm looking at surprising my little brother with a Mac for his birthday, and I want to spend about $600, and no more than that. I've narrowed it down to two options: a used PowerMac G5 or a Psystar Open Computer. I really like these choices because they're pretty much the most upgradeable macs out there. (well, "Mac" in one case.) And really, either option would be fine for him, as he doesn't do much more than word processing and surfing the web. If you guys could help me weigh the pros/cons of each option, it would be greatly appreciated.
It's good to be back!
