GREAT deal i believe, only thing left is to upgrade the ram and you're set! i have a dual 800 G4 which i bought maybe about 3 or 4 years ago and it's still running like a CHAMP! im also in the market to buy that looks tempting.

Can anybody tell me if this is an okay, good, or great deal? I wont it really do anything heavy w/ it but I dont want to buy a mac mini and I already have a 20" LCD so that rules out the iMac. How long do you think this computer would be considered "fast" for? Because if I buy this, I dont want to buy another computer for 3 to 4 years. Thanks all..

At the rate Apple's going, this computer will last you for the rest of your life. But seriuosly, this is a blazing fast computer and it will give you 5 years of quality computing. At that price, you can't go wrong. Personally, I am getting the Dual 2.0GHz for $1,699.
 
That looks like a great deal to me. I have a Power Mac G4 that has lasted over four years already. You should purchase additional RAM and AppleCare.
 
Nice, but just note that it's a refurbish model. I would get AppleCare in case something goes wrong. And like what the rest is saying, get more RAMs!
 
You guys know if I need to get Applecare right away? Because w/ new Macs, I have up to a year to buy it.

Yeah you can wait to buy applecare for the refurbished units as long as you are still under the 1 year mark, just as you can with new units.
