I'm on a strict budget of $5000.00. is the new g4 ibook 14'' good enough to run mbox on? Or should i just get the 12'' powerbook?

yep... a good 7200rpm external drive is recommended for almost any music recording system whether on ibook PB G4 or a desktop model. Actually, some pros opt for 10,000rpm drives for the ultimate performance.
you may be able to get by using internal drives but your track count may suffer and audio recoridngs could become degraded with artifacts from not being able to keep up with demands
