So I just bought an PowerMac from Ebay.
Unless the guy shafts me of course. But here's the machine details:

PowerMac G4 466
512MB Ram
60GB HD
Geforce 2 32MB
Zip 250
4x Pioneer DVD-R Writer
Adaptec 2930 SCSI + 1GB SCSI HD

(Price w/o shipping is like 368€)

Consider yourselves informed!

Cool. Tiger runs okay on a 400, so you should be fine with that. I think you'll get Quartz Extreme with that card, even.

And I bet that 1GB SCSI HD will come in REAL handy.

I totally forgot about that particular Penny Arcade strip. I should have listed it as among my favorites in the Fave PA thread.

How incredibly stupid of me.

That's pretty much the model I've got, only mine's a little slower and has some slow ass rage card. That said, it's running panther and really doesn't feel that bad. I'd probably replace my windows machine with it if I could just copy all of my crap someplace else first. Very Happy

I saw a powermac with similair specs run at around 219 euro's. It still seems too much monies for the performannce.

Seems like a good machine.

I just browsed the 'net a bit, wondering what cards will support teh coreimage, and it seems that one can flash cheap as fuck Geforce FX 5200's to work in Macs.

The 219 wasn't a auction, it was a sale in store.

I use FreeBSD on a daily basis, what does that make me? Another hobby of me is firing lasers at modified webcams and than analysing the data with Matlab.

Ugh. Matlab. I shortly will need to understand three dimensional elliptic Fourier transform code in Matlab.

It's great to win stuff you've wanted for a while, but didn't want to pay for.

I held a nano for the first time over the weekend. Despite knowning the dimensions and weight, and reading about it in several articles, my wife and I were both shocked at how small it was.

Just got my brand new 17" Powerbook. The thing is a monster and doesn't even fit in the laptop slot of my bag.
