I'll probably use it as a fileserver for my network here (Mac, XP Desktop, XP Laptop, possibly set up my old Sun and SGI boxes also). I might install Server just to learn it. I really wish I had a chance to work with OS X at work (I admin Solaris, HP-UX and Linux boxes for the most part), but...

Hi, The new features in Tiger Server are making me think more about picking up a used PowerMac off of eBay, and setting up a server here (I'm currently using a Dual 1.25 MDD G4). Dual 450/500 machines go for a bit less than single 733/800 machines. I'm wondering whether to go with Dual...

Androo, too late! I already decided on the PowerMac - besides, didn't have to buy a monitor anyway (And I still have the option of upgrading to one of those sexy Cinema Displays later) :)

Yeah, I just find it ironic.. :) besides, this has now turned into the thread that will not die.. I had to keep it going :)

Oh, I nearly forgot, I'll be attaching it all to a Dell 1701FP 17" LCD :)

Yeah, I think I'll stick around - you guys were pretty helpful :) And I'm sure I'll have questions.. I got the Dual 1.25 G4 - 256 megs ram. I'm going to order some ram, just not from apple - they want way too much for it. :) I'm gonna have to make up a signature.. :) Power Mac G4...

Well, I decided on the PowerMac - ordered it today (They have none in stock - so they'll get it in tomorrow). I'm excited.. :) Yeah, the MacMall freebies and such woulda been cool - I have a boatload of printers already that I don't use though.. discounts on a Display woulda been nice...

I thought about buying something state-side, and bringing it over.. far as I can tell I have to pay all the taxes I'd have to pay in Canada though.. I could try to smuggle it, but, I drive a pickup, hard to stash it anywhere they wouldn't see it :) I think in the end its just easier to...

Yeah, I'm gonna go look tomorrow (later today now I guess) :) Nope... Same power plug.. same TV standards.. same everything (Except our Coca-Cola tastes MUCH better).. I work in the states, actually.. so it negates the effect somewhat (My money is worth more than Canadian money) :)

I'm in Canada - Unfortunately, we have no apple stores. There is a small store where I live that sells apple products though, which is where I'll probably buy it. My other option would be to buy one in Detroit, and bring it across the border - I haven't been able to determine how much...

Decisions, decisions.. everyone's making valid arguments for each side :) Mr. K made a good point about resale value - having used PCs, I've never really sold them - I just upgraded them piece by piece, using the old parts in spare machines. Hopefully I can find some demo units when I go...

I thought about a portable, actually. I didn't want to go with an iBook as they're only G3 processors - figured it wouldn't last as long as something based on a G4. The 12" PowerBook is nice, but they get pretty hot, and they don't have an L3 cache, if I read right. The 17" is obviously...

Hi, Recently, one of my co-workers brought his iBook into the office to do some work. This was the first time I really got to see OS X in action. Since then, I've been thinking of picking up a Mac for myself. I've also been getting more pissed off with Windows as of late, so I'm ready to...
