Hello,
I'm an experienced musician, but a total newbie with the Macs. I'm very tired of my PC with all theese bugs and etc, so I've decided to enter the world of Macs and stay there. I've been made an offer: G4 450Khz 1.5Gb RAM, no monitor and no audio interface for 1000 USD. Is it a worthy deal? Currently I have Pentium celeron 4 with 1,5Ghz and 640 DDRAM. Will the speed of this mac equal or exceed the speed of my current PC? Will the PC monitor work with the Mac? Thanks for the help in advance, mates. |

It doesn't sound like a great deal, to be honest. There are plenty of new Macs that aren't much more expensive that'll do a better job and you'll have a full warranty in case of disaster.
But if you can't get one any other way, the machine you mention would probably do for Midi and some audio, although the more audio you record, the flakier it'll get. It's a reasonably powerful machine on paper, but with no warranty, no monitor and no audio interface you're probably going to spend another $1000 (at least) to get a decent set-up. Check a few other prices on the internet and see how your offer compares - places like ebay etc. I'd be wary of buying a second-hand computer without getting to see it working first.
