In defense of the Quicksilver ,mine is great. I had a 933 MHz
put in it and extra memory. I purchased those on Ebay. It has
Leopard 5 on it. I paid $65 for it originally and it came with
Leopard. Complete with upgrades ,it cost about $200 ,including labor
fees. I can't tell you how the guy installed Leopard. Leopard is a
little slow but ok. I am retired. I consider this my chance to get
Leopard without all the expense. It so far has taken all of the
updates with no problem. Besides that ,I consider that Apple lost
some of it's appeal when it went to Intel. I already have a good
Windows computer with Intel. This is just my 2 cents though.

I always advise people to avoid the Quicksilver. They seem to be
the ones that suffer dead power supply problem. Particularly the
733mhz like I have which is now a door stop. Just go on ebay and
see how many you find described as: "parts only" or "won't power
up" or "powers up then shuts down"
I'd go for the MDD every time, but if you have to get the QS, go
for 900mhz and above.
just my 2p worth.

After adding up the dollars to put this MDD together, I'm
wondering what the best quicksilver would be? I'm looking at
800mhz systems on ebay for around 100 dollars? sure they're only
800mhz single processor systems, but I can upgrade it later can't
I? I just need a really good tiger/os9 machine for odds and
ends.... what's the best q-silver to get? Jeff
