Hey all i was just wonder if i were to get an 867 PM G4 possibly dual with superdrive and 15" apple display off ebay would i be enough to do some MiniDV editing, garageband, burning DVDs and acting as a server for my other computers??

thanks for the help
 
generally servers don't "serve" any other purpose besides being a server. That computer would be find for your other needs, but running it as a server too isn't necessarily a great idea.
 
if its a simple ftp server or a webserver for a site that isnt getting massive amounts of traffic then it should do fine.
 
The 867 PM G4 should be fine for iMovie and iDVD, although if you are going to do a lot of this type of work, you may find the 15" display a little on the small side, I would recommend trying to pick up at least a 17".

You are not really using the Mac as a server if you are just backing up files from time to time, the PowerMac will be fine for this.
 
get another display and you'll love it. 15" is too small to be productive.


peace.
