i dont have much money. and to do simple recording/sequence (1trackat a time, maye 2 but i doubt it) tasks. i wont be needing a G-something, right? im a guitarman and i just want to make some songs with midi drummachine, work out structures etc...
theres a company here in belgium that recycles macs and they sell a full equipped 7300/200 for 200euros. i wana buy that thing it looks very interesting for the price(for the research i have done on macs) the only problem left is SOFTWARE, how do i get older versions of whatever cubase, cakewalk... another thing: yes i wanna do those things on a computer. i worked with cakewalk pro audio 9 before on this computer (which is a pc that runs on windows and isnt mine) and i like that better than working on the stupid drummachine (alesis) on which i tend to lose my patience all the time. keep in mind that i dont have my own computer yet so im gonna use it for some other minimalistic things you think id be allright for 400-500 euros? any suggestions Highly Appreciated  and im sorry if theres been someone else before with a similar question. i looked for a bit and it looks like the most have a g3 or more. so before i got crazy i made my own thread

Well Lee thats very cool to hear. especially if one, like you did, goes ebay for those upgrades, it should be cheap as hell to get a G4 machine that way. so your upgrading adventure never came with any exaggerated frustration at all?
Im really surprised that youre not having such a hard time with OSX, as many say running OSX on an old world mac is a pain and only for real computer hobbyists (which you might be of course). So then i shouldnt be to afraid to put an USB and of firewire card in my machine either then. which brands of cards do you recommend? does annyone happen to use a firewire pci card on an old mac to hook up a firewire tray with an IDE drive for just some storage? how about a dvd drive?
