The Imac is for sure a step up as well as an excellent machine. You won't regret the power and beauty it has to offer. You said something intreasting that I would like to address. You said that your g4 is a "Bull" sort of speak and in defense of pc's have you ever met somebody who wanted to keep their pc for 10 years. The thing about macs is there more expensive and your getting the "best" for that period of time, however pcs are just so much more beyond compatiable with bigger better and faster parts and cheap that theirs no need to keep a computer for so long. Well sorry for going off topic, once again the imac is an excellent computer and i say go for it.
Got a tip for us?

I'm seeing them on eBay for anywhere from below $100 to almost $200, but the lower speed duals aren't going for much.
thats the thing.. Ebay is kinda all over the place, and i havent ONCE seen the one that i actually have.. so i dont really know.
As for the PC comment.. i am talking about the average computer user who just uses their computer for as long as possible and when it dies, instead of doing upgrades, its dead.. My point is, an untouched, unupgraded (except for operating systems) a mac will still just work.. it might not be as fast as the newest computer, but it doesnt degrade like most PCs would

Look on eBay for a IIfx. Try and find a 28 year old beige box PC that could sell for $300+ like that beige box Mac can.
Does yours have a matching screen? And is it LCD or CRT? I've seen later models for about $300. $250 is a reasonable sounding price depending on condition.
we have a LaCie Blue III 22 which is an AWESOME but huge.. I would offer that with it, they are selling for about $300 just for the monitor.. I make a new thread for the G4 in the powermac forum though because people were getting cinfused that i had an imac G4 and this is a powermac...
Did my other thread get pulled?? i'm confused.. No one told me it got moved to pulled, but i cant find it anywhere.
