I just got a call from a rather panicky mother, claiming her computer "went bang". Turns out that the motherboard fried itself. It's so old I don't want to bother with repairing it, and I've been trying to get them off Windows for ages. So this is a perfect time to get them a Mac.
I'm looking at different G4 desktops on eBay, but I wondered if there was anything I should take into account regarding different models. The iMacs and eMacs seem similarly priced, and the Minis are quite a bit more expensive. I've heard of logic board deaths in eMacs, what sort of other problems should I be wary of?
Also, how much would you pay for a G4 iMac or an eMac? I know the prices are going to vary considerably for different configurations, but a sensible maximum would be nice to know.
While we're here, does anyone on the forum have a G4 desktop they want to be rid of?
