I'm going off to college in the fall, and recently I've had the option of selling my G4 Cube. There's an interested buyer in the area that my dad knows that wants to buy it and the CRT monitor (A Samsung SyncMaster 753df) for 500 dollars. With my graduation money, the sell of this computer and monitor would give me about $950 to play around in.
My original plan was to replace my ugly CRT with a new LCD monitor so that I don't have to lug the CRT off to college, but I realized that if I sold my Cube, I could potentially use the money and my graduation money for a new eMac, or maybe a new iMac, which would solve my monitor woes, and give me a quicker computer to use at college.
However, the buyer wants this computer after my family and I get back from vacation on July 5th. I know that the WWDC is in a few days -- should I go for the early buy of a new eMac (since those were recently updated), or is there a strong chance of a G5 iMac announcement that would bump the G4 iMac prices down to a more manageable level?
