$170 worth it for a G4 Sawtooth with Wi-fi?

[Chef Medeski]

Do you guys think $170 USD is worth it for a G4 Sawtooth running Tiger on a 10GB drive with 384MB of Ram and built in Wi-fi?

Im thinking of buying, I know the price is a bit high. Yet.... is it really that bad?

AirPort card included? That alone is worth ~$75 in today's market.

Not Airport. PCI card. Whats the fatuation with the airport card? You can buy cheaper G pci card or game servers that not only run faster but are less money. Who the hell would waste their money on an Airport card?

People with notebooks that need the card.

Yup, I just dropped seventy bucks on one for my wife's iBook. Those things are hard to find at a decent price. Ahh, the beauty of proprietary systems.

Ok I'm sorry who with a desktop would waste money on it?

Actually, I almost bought one. My eMac 800mhz can only use the old Airport Card. I thought I could get one off ebay for $20.00 and I was totally surprised to find out they were going for $80.00. I sold my eMac on ebay instead.

I think $170 at this point is WAY too high. The B & W G3 market went from about $150 to almost zero very quickly. The Sawtooth will do the same. I imagine you'll be able to get one on ebay for under $50 soon. Therefore if it were me I'd either wait a little longer or get a better G4 for $170.
