About the same price. I just built the thing two months ago. I have checked
prices recently and maybe the processor and ram have dropped in price. Might
be around $950 dollars now instead of $1,000.

Maybe a 933Mhz G4 for around $1494.

I would have to research that. But I would start with MP3 rage and MacAmp.

Tell me about it. That's why when I'm at home I do my web surfing on the PC.
It screams. Here is trick for OS 9 users on how to make your web surfing
super fast. You must have a lot of ram to do this.

Set up a ram disk about 40 - 50 MB's. Drop your Web Brower (the entire
application on the ram disk) Go into preferences and point the Web Cache to
your Ram Disk. I did this with my cable internet access. Talk about
fast,Mama Mia, It was a beautiful thing.
