i went to local recycle pc stores.
and here is the new system specs.
G4 800 Mhz 512 megs of ram still waiting for my 1 gig stick to arrive. 250 gig western digital 52 x LG- dvd+r/cd+r burner running mac os 10.5.7 using leopard assist.
not bad total cost was
$84.00 for a nice computer for e-mail and photo editing
Wow. That's pretty good. I got my G4 for $120, with a 20gb hdd, 450mhz G4 processor, 128 mb of ram, a dvd drive, and stock graphics. And at the time, that was a good deal.
