I am thinking of buying a mac (soonish) and I am looking at a PowerMac G4 (the tower one) labeled Fast which is the only one I can afford    :(  .
Only one problem - the screens are really expensive. Do I have to fork out $2,300 minimum on a screen. I know 17" flat screens are nice but I already have one on my pc. It jas got digital video and analogue connectors. The mac without screen is $3,871.00. I upped the GFX card to the Geforce4 MX.

Also the prices are Australian dollars.
This is from www.apple.com.au

I am pretty serious about switching from wAmd (Windows AMD) to a nice shpiffy Mac running OS10.2 which btw looks really good (my dad has a mac laptop). I am hoping to only have to use my wamd box for some gaming.

if i were u, i wouldn't bye a PowerMac G4, G5 is 'supposed' to be due in September   :rolleyes:  but it aint lookin to good. If I were you I would wait till then. Yes, they will be a bit more expensive, but you'll have some time to save your dough. I work at an apple center and last I heard of them thry were being tested with dual 2 Gig processors!

choasforages:
really, sweet. multi processor systems are awsome. especially non x86 ones.

smokey:
oooh looks really sweeet    now I really want one

Do mac's come with Digital Video out connectors for flat screens (TFT)?

eradicator:
the new PowerMacs are rumored to come out this month, they are also rumored to offer a 166mhz bus (compared to the current 133mhz), ddr ram, and up to 1.2ghz
