I'm in the same boat as the OP, still using an eMac as my main computer, though I do have an intel macbook available for when I desperately need it. I've been looking at used Mac Pros, as I am a bit tired of the non-upgradeability and repairability of the all-in-one designs. Mac Pros are extremely rare on the local craigslist, and even the 1.1 versions generally want close to 1000 bucks.

Is a 1.1 Mac Pro a viable choice, or is it too limiting? I'd welcome any advice on what to look for in a Mac Pro, processors, video options, etc, as I have no experience with this class of machine.

And is it better to buy from one of the used Mac dealers, or is craigslist or ebay the way to go?

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks,

Bob

Heck, I'd even look at Mac Pros, here's a good candidate for $400 : <http://www.ebay.com/itm/APPLE-A1186-MAC-PRO-DESKTOP-MA970LL-A-2008- 4G-MEMORY-XEON-2-8GHZ-QUAD-CORE-320G-/ 171142382438?pt=Apple_Desktops&hash=item27d8e18366>
